Add LXGW Marker Gothic

[lxgw]

Font Project Git Repo URL: https://github.com/lxgw/LxgwMarkerGothic

Super short description of the Font Family: An open-source Chinese font derived from Tanugo.

Requirements:

I understand that Google Fonts will publish only fonts that matches its requirements, and I can confirm the project meets them (by ticking the cases, or putting x between the square brackets in text mode):

• [x] The entire font project is licensed under the OFL
• [x] There is no "Reserved Font Name" mention in the OFL license
• [x] Family name is unique according to namecheck.fontdata.com
• [x] The font supports at least GF Latin Core glyphset
• [x] The repository respect the upstream repo structure
• [x] The source files are available in the repository
• [x] I read, agree and comply with the full contributing requirements
• [x] I am the author of the font or the author agreed to this submission
• [x] I will maintain the repository

I'm not a specialist in CJK fonts, so I don't think I can work on this project, but I've done a quick review anyway, after converting the .ufoz file to Glyphs to get a clearer picture.

/ see fontbakery below /

Most fails are easily solved, here are the ones that require upstream action or confirmation:

• 🔥 FAIL: Version format is correct in 'name' table? We will need 1.000 instead of 0.002
• 🔥 FAIL: Check Google Fonts glyph coverage Upstream have to add 0326 (COMBINING COMMA BELOW)
• 🔥 FAIL: Check family name for GF Guide compliance. (com.google.fonts/check/name/family_name_compliance) 🔥 FAIL "LXGW Marker Gothic" contains an abbreviation. [code: abbreviation] Should we change the name? -waiting for confirmation-
• 🔥 FAIL: Check font follows the Google Fonts CJK vertical metric schema I don't have the skills to solve this
• When I opened it in Glyphs, I saw only quadratics curves that I had to convert in order to export it

Also, I opened the file on glyphs, did some modifications to export it and check it, but we are not good concerning the features (probably because of the conversation ufo to Glyphs). For now, all is deactivated (but here again, I don't have the skills to solve this).

⚠ WARN: Check if each glyph has the recommended amount of contours. (com.google.fonts/check/contour_count)

* ⚠ **WARN** This check inspects the glyph outlines and detects the total number of contours in each of them. The expected values are infered from the typical ammounts of contours observed in a large collection of reference font families. The divergences listed below may simply indicate a significantly different design on some of your glyphs. On the other hand, some of these may flag actual bugs in the font such as glyphs mapped to an incorrect codepoint. Please consider reviewing the design and codepoint assignment of these to make sure they are correct. The following glyphs do not have the recommended number of contours: - Glyph name: u00AD Contours detected: 1 Expected: 0 - Glyph name: u013B Contours detected: 1 Expected: 2 - Glyph name: beta Contours detected: 1 Expected: 2 - Glyph name: u1E48 Contours detected: 1 Expected: 2 - Glyph name: trademark Contours detected: 1 Expected: 2 - Glyph name: u2213 Contours detected: 1 Expected: 2 - Glyph name: uni2552 Contours detected: 1 Expected: 2 - Glyph name: uni2553 Contours detected: 1 Expected: 2 - Glyph name: uni2555 Contours detected: 1 Expected: 2 - Glyph name: uni2556 Contours detected: 1 Expected: 2 - 8 more.
