Status of Google Fonts 'name' table

See original GitHub issue

Now that we have both a recommendation for correct 'name' values and code to check it (hooray!), can you please run the name verification over the entire google fonts collection? - I’m eager to know how broken it is (or hopefully isn’t).

Something like a csv of family, name field, # of problems (Roboto, 1, 0 or Roboto, fullname, 0 for Roboto with 0 fullname problems) would be ideal for my purposes. Or even just family, # name problems.

I’ve got around 80% of the TTF files from google fonts git repo checked. These have generated log files in both markdown and json format which may (likely) include font errors. The other ~20% have some sort of issue with fontbakery and did not even save a report.

Today I’m investigating what are these issues and I may open new tickets in this issue tracker to address those with the goal of reaching the 100% coverage of the full repo that we used to have a while ago.

I’ll also create a new script to compile a single report with summarized/aggregated data from the full set of hundreds of fonts. The purpose is to make it easy for someone to generate this global report with the only requirement of spending some time for all the checks to be run. Nowadays, in addition to the time requirement we still have to do things manually, so I’m aiming at automating at least some of it now.
