googlefonts__varfont__has_HVAR

Check that variable fonts have an HVAR table.

googlefonts/varfont/has_HVAR

• Applies to: TTF
• Fontspector can hotfix?: no
• Fontspector can fix sources?: no

Rationale

Not having a HVAR table can lead to costly text-layout operations on some platforms, which we want to avoid.

So, all variable fonts on the Google Fonts collection should have an HVAR with valid values.

More info on the HVAR table can be found at: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec/otvaroverview#variation-data-tables-and-miscellaneous-requirements
