Check that descenders are aligned as intended

arrowtype commented 5 years ago

I specifically want most descenders to be relatively short, except for "tails" that need extra space to be a bit longer – in particular, the double-story /g.

Down to -250:

/g (except in weight C)
- /g.mono (except in weight C)
some accents

Down to only -200

/g & /g.mono in weight C
/g.italic
/f.italic
/p
/q
/j
- /j.italic
- /j.mono
/y
- /y.italic

Currently, I'm noticing that there are quite a few times at which the /j or /y go further than intended. This needs a specific review, and fixes where

For this, it would be most effective to adapt a drawbot script for robofont to lay out all glyphs with descenders, plus vertical metrics.

Maybe even better: make a script that checks the yMin in a list of glyphs. If it is below -200 or -210, flag it.
