digital-numbers-font's Issues

Consider consolidating LICENSE to SIL Open Font License v1.1 with no Reserved Font Name

3 licenses are mentioned in the README, but no actual licensing file is included; I suggest including the SIL Open Font License v1.1 with no Reserved Font Name as an OFL.txt

Tiny things

• the final binary has an FFTM table, which can be removed with fontTools but sadly it seems FontForge doesn't have an option to prevent it being included (fontforge/fontforge#2389)
• the name table includes items with PlatformID="1" but these can be removed with fontTools
• the name table version string (item 5) had a trailing space
• the canonical filename of the font should be DigitalNumbers-Regular.ttf

I fixed these things in the version I committed to google/fonts@e860dd8 - please use this in the dist/ directory, and cut a release on https://github.com/s-a/digital-numbers-font/releases :)

Support Basic Latin Alphabet

The Basic Latin is ~200 glyphs listed in github.com/google/fonts/tools/encodings/latin_unique-glyphs.nam

Complete Corresponding Source + Build instructions/scripts

Source files are defined as the preferred form of modification, plus reproducible build instructions or scripts.

While some SVGs are included in the /src directory, its not clear how to build a TTF from them :)

D and O are indistinguishable

Remove overlap issue on R

Correct Directions; Remove Overlaps

In https://github.com/s-a/digital-numbers-font/blob/gh-pages/build/script.pe you need to correct directions and remove overlaps, or this happens:

I suggest using python to make a build.py like this (written into the issue without testing :)

import fontforge
font = fontforge.open("../src/digital-numbers.sfd")
for glyph in font.glyphs():
    glyph.round()
    glyph.correctDirection()
    glyph.removeOverlap()
    glyph.addExtrema()
    glyph.simplify()
formats = ['sa-digital-number.ttf', 'sa-digital-number.svg', 'sa-digital-number.woff', 'sa-digital-number.eot']
for file in formats:
    font.generate(file, flags=("round", "dummy-dsig"))
