opentype__family__panose_familytype

Fonts have consistent PANOSE family type?

opentype/family/panose_familytype

• Applies to: TTF
• Fontspector can hotfix?: no
• Fontspector can fix sources?: no

Rationale

The PANOSE value in the OS/2 table is a way of classifying a font based on its visual appearance and characteristics.

The first field in the PANOSE classification is the family type: 2 means Latin Text, 3 means Latin Script, 4 means Latin Decorative, 5 means Latin Symbol. This check ensures that within a family, all fonts have the same family type.
