Super short description of the Font Family:

Ponomar is a contemporary Church Slavonic font that reproduces the typeface used in editions published by the Synodal Press of the Russian Orthodox Church in the early twentieth century. It is presently used in various liturgical books published by the Moscow Patriarchate. It also contains characters needed to typeset liturgical texts in Romanian (Moldovan) Cyrillic, Aleut, and Sakha (Yakut).

This looks good and I would like to see it in GF! To help the process:

• Please set the font version to be in the format X.YYYY e.g. 1.003.
• Set OS/2 typoAscender to 955. (OS2TypoAscent value in FontForge)
• Change the PostScript name to Ponomar-Regular
• Set the copyright to the expected format (Copyright 2013-2024 The Ponomar Project Authors (https://github.com/slavonic/ponomar)
• Set Use Typo Metrics - OS2_UseTypoMetrics in FontForge, if you're working in the UFO see https://googlefonts.github.io/gf-guide/metrics.html#5-use_typo_metrics-must-be-enabled
• Remove the OS2Vendor

The output file name is a problem with the builder, I'll get that fixed.

Hi @simoncozens, thanks for your response. Why set the typoAscender to 955? Then the diacritical marks on the capital letters get cut off.

In which case, ignore that warning. :-) Vertical metrics is a tricky balance; our policy is at https://googlefonts.github.io/gf-guide/metrics.html.

Done.
