com_google_fonts_check_037: Running FontValidator.exe on mac

See original GitHub issue

In #1336 there’s a discussion on how to get FontValidator.exe to run. Unfortunately, It only focuses on Linux.

As a mac user, I haven’t found a way to run FontValidator.exe without calling mono in the shell. For our subprocess command we have:

    fval_cmd = ["FontValidator.exe",
                "-file", font,
                "-all-tables",
                "-report-in-font-dir",
                "+raster-tests"]

I see Linux users can use Binfmt to run .exes without calling mono. @felipesanches have you used this approach? if so, we’ll need to update out subprocess command so it is cross platform compatible.

I may be totally wrong with my assumptions here. Please correct me if I am.

Felipe wants to contribute. I want to direct people to contribute. But if no one can see the complete current codebase, how can they contribute to the open issues? They can’t, and they won’t. No one is going to contribute to an open source project where source code isn’t available. Simple as that.

@graphicore thanks!

I think I’ll find a cross platform solution for this and pr.
