Are there unwanted Apple tables?

unwanted_aat_tables

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

Rationale

Apple's TrueType reference manual [1] describes SFNT tables not in the Microsoft OpenType specification [2] and these can sometimes sneak into final release files.

This check ensures fonts only have OpenType tables.

Proposal

Profiles

  • universal (in section 'Universal Profile Checks')

  • googlefonts (in section 'Universal Profile Checks')
