com.google.fonts/check/032: name table descriptions length

For Archivo, I get the following fail:

>> com.google.fonts/check/032 with ((u'font[0]', '/Users/marc/Documents/googlefonts/manual_font_cleaning/Archivo/Archivo/fonts/ttf/Archivo-Regular.ttf'),)
   Description strings in the name table must not exceed 100 characters.
 * FAIL: Namerecords with ID=10 (NAMEID_DESCRIPTION) are longer than 100 characters and should be removed.

In the MS nametable spec, there is no mention of any limitation for this nameID.

As a side note, for nameID13 (license description) it is always over 100 characters if the font is ofl.

Can we make this nameID greater than 100 characters please?

Really appreciate you investigating this! your conclusion makes sense

The Archivo description string has 199 chars. I think it is reasonable to update the max-length to 200 chars then. And I will also make the check emit WARNs instead of FAILs when such length is exceeded.
