Font Project Git Repo URL:

https://github.com/SorkinType/SASchoolHandAustralia

Super short description of the Font Family:

School handwriting models for South Australia.

Requirements:

Google Fonts will publish only fonts that match its requirements. Please familiarize yourself with the complete documentation in the Google Fonts Guide (GF-Guide) and ensure your font project complies with them before submitting the font family. You can also use the Google Fonts Project Template, which will help you create a repository that follows the needed structure and includes build requirements.

By filling this issue, you can confirm the project meets the requirements (by ticking the cases or putting x between the square brackets in text mode):

  • I read, agree, and comply with the full contributing requirements
  • The entire font project is licensed under the OFL
  • There is no "Reserved Font Name" mention in the OFL license
  • Family name is unique according to namecheck.fontdata.com
  • The font supports at least GF Latin Core glyphset
  • The repository respect the upstream repo structure
  • The source files are available in the repository
  • I am the author of the font, or the author agreed to this submission
  • I will maintain the repository and participate in the onboarding process (addressing, solving, and responding to issues, merging pull requests, etc)

This family has multiple variant fonts associated with it. Please review the source font (first listed) first, and then the variants:

Notes

  • need to change the names here to fit our naming schema (Dots Guides)
  • Dotted / Guidelines / Outlines / Arrows: check the glyphset: add punctuation

Many of the families of these Edu mega-families need a resolution on the following:

Subset

  • Starters, Arrows, and Dotted variants only work on A--z and 0--9 letters (no accented letters, no punctuation marks). We have discussed some options for this case
    1. Publish the fonts as they are now.
      • Pro: Fonts can be merged now.
      • Con: It will be a buggy font, confusing users and weakening the project.
    2. Subsetting these variants to only include the working letters.
      • Pro: It would deliver a clear message on the font support.
      • Con: That subset would be even smaller than Latin-Kernell.
    3. Find a middle ground where the accented letter and punctuation marks receive the effect.
      • Pro: It would be more useful, especially for teaching contexts where punctuation is relevant.
      • Con: It would require an added job from @EbenSorkin

Handwriting names schema

  • We need to change the names here to fit our naming schema (Dots, Guides)
