Restrict non-ASCII check for just a few of the name table entries ?

See original GitHub issue

>> com.google.fonts/test/074 with ((u'font[5]', '/Users/marc/Documents/googlefonts/fonts/ofl/sourceserifpro/SourceSerifPro-SemiBold.ttf'),)
   Are there non-ASCII characters in ASCII-only NAME table entries ?
 * FAIL: There are 2 strings containing non-ASCII characters in the ASCII-only NAME table entries.

   Result: FAIL

This is not a helpful fail message. There are 2 strings, great - but what are the strings? what are the non-ascii characters?

Also, I thought we agreed a long time ago that our “is this thing OK in the font file?” methods are named “checks” and our “is this code giving the expected results” methods are named “tests”. Is that true? If so, then com.google.fonts/test/074 is named wrong.
