Numbers in font name

See original GitHub issue

Original issue on project git: https://github.com/codeman38/PressStart2P/issues/2

I know numbers are not good in font names, but Press Start 2P is an active GF font, and it validates fine in font book.

I think font-bakery has some bug in reading the name. Compare this output to the name table:

fontbakery-check-ttf.py error output:

ERROR    [FONT_FAMILY_NAME(1):MACINTOSH(1)] entry: expected 'Press Start2 P' but got 'Press Start 2P'

I’m not too happy about it as well. As a programmer I’d expect a clear-cut algorithmic definition of what’s allowed and what’s unacceptable. But this universal rule seems a bit hard to come up with, as @graphicore pointed out, so that’s how we’re working at the moment, adding exceptions. Maybe after we gather a slightly larger set of exceptions we’ll gradually grasp a reasonable algorithmic expression of our criteria and then get rid of the exceptions. Maybe not. 😛
