Hello,

First of all many thanks for your hard work. I have downloaded the Noto fonts v20201206-phase3 release and the Master.

There something that I don't understand. I will take the Noto Sans Regular as example but I seems to be the same things for many fonts.

hinted/ttf/NotoSans/NotoSans-Regular.ttf:

version: 2.003 size: 348408

unhinted/ttf/NotoSans/NotoSans-Regular.ttf:

version: 2.003 size: 348384

archive/hinted/NotoSans/NotoSans-Regular.ttf:

version: 2.001; ttfautohint (v1.8.2) size: 509848

archive/unhinted/NotoSans/NotoSans-Regular.ttf:

version: 2.003 size: 348748

It seems that Hinted fonts are in archive/hinted/ and fonts inside hinted/ttf/ are Unhinted fonts as the fonts inunhinted/ttf/.

I have downloaded the old release file of all hinted fonts zip file Noto-hinted-full.zip available at www.google.com/get/noto/ and the old NotoSans-Regular.ttf is bigger than the hinted/ttf/NotoSans/NotoSans-Regular.ttf file.

Noto-hinted-full.zip/NotoSans-Regular.ttf:

version: 2.000;GOOG;noto-source:20170915:90ef993387c0; ttfautohint (v1.7) size: 455188

Thanks you in advance I wish you a Merry Christmas and an Happy New Year.

Kind Regards

@moocan : this was a process issue; my scripts silently failed and I didn't realize that we had a problem, until your issue arrived. THANK YOU!!! I think I fixed it but please check with a font you are interested in. If confirmed please close the issue.

@marekjez86 Hello,

Thanks for your confirmation. I have checked many family fonts from the Noto family after downloading the main archive again and it looks OK.

I noticed something else about Variable Fonts (and I don't know if I need to open a new issue or even if it's normal ... I searched for related information inside previous issues but can't find anything) but inside unhinted/variable-ttf there is only Italic Style for Variable Font of Family Arimo, Cousine and Tinos. There is no Regular Style.

Kind Regards
