The following Fail is reported for most of the families at commit 1b4d055

🔥 FAIL: Checking post.italicAngle value. (derived from com.google.fonts/check/italic_angle) (com.google.fonts/check/italic_angle)

> >The 'post' table italicAngle property should be a reasonable amount, likely not more than 30°. Note that in the OpenType specification, the value is negative for a rightward lean. > >https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec/post > * 🔥 **FAIL** The value of post.italicAngle is positive, which is likely a mistake and should become negative for right-leaning Italics. post.italicAngle: 18.0 angle calculated from outlines: -18.0) [code: positive] * 🔥 **FAIL** Font is not italic, so post.italicAngle should be equal to zero. [code: non-zero-upright]

[casasin]

This should be fixed with latest fonts

[vv-monsalve]

It's still present in the fonts at commit 23d4a217f

[vv-monsalve]

Still reported for fonts at commit 07c8561

[josescaglione]

@vv-monsalve if we change the italic angle to zero, then the caretSlopeRise and caretSlopeRun are triggered as errors. In short, one of those will trigger an error with current settings.Please let us know how to proceed

[vv-monsalve]

Sure, I'll dig into this. However, during today's meeting, you mentioned you already had considered or have a preference on how to proceed. Please expand your concerns/reasonings here.

[josescaglione]

My preference and advice is to let the caret fail. This is what we did in the static fonts so far.

[vv-monsalve]

We are talking about two different but related things.

• post.ItalicAngle. Despite looking slanted, the fonts are not italics, so the value should be 0 (zero).
• caretSlopeRise and Run. Do you have a picture of the desired effect? After testing the fonts, both the variable and the statics, the cursor doesn't show any slope, so they could be set to 1 and 0, respectively, to match the upright status of the font.

Static

[casasin]

Done with latest ARG and COL [wght] variables at cac910fdb

[vv-monsalve]

Confirmed for the VFs. Please make the same settings for the static fonts. Currently (at commit 890e814) the COL statics have

    <caretSlopeRise value="1000"/>
    <caretSlopeRun value="325"/>
