TTF — Full Face (subsetting baseline)

The complete face the rest of the subset set is cut from: the whole glyph repertoire with ligatures, kerning, contextual alternates, small caps, stylistic sets, figures, fractions, marks and localised forms intact. Measure it, then measure the cuts. Original typeface, free to use.

TTF — GSUB Ligatures (liga and dlig)

Standard and discretionary ligature substitutions in a real GSUB table: four liga ligatures including the three-glyph ffi, and two dlig ligatures that must stay off unless asked for. Each ligature's advance is the sum of its parts minus a documented tuck, so a shaping result is checkable by measuring. Original typeface, free to use.

TTF — Identical Outlines with No GSUB, GPOS or GDEF

The control for the all-features font: the same glyph set and the same metrics with no layout tables at all, so the alternates exist in the font but nothing can reach them. Any difference you measure against the full twin is the layout tables and nothing else. Original typeface, free to use.

TTF — Intentionally Corrupt: Wrong glyf Table-Directory Checksum

An intentionally corrupt font whose glyf table data is perfectly fine but whose recorded checksum in the table directory is wrong. The complement to the head fixture: this one catches tools that verify per-table checksums, and its glyphs still draw, so the damage is invisible without a real integrity check.

TTF — Intentionally Corrupt: Wrong head.checkSumAdjustment

An intentionally corrupt font: four bytes of head.checkSumAdjustment overwritten with 0xDEADBEEF and nothing else touched. It still renders, because browsers and operating systems do not verify the field — which is precisely why this is a useful fixture for validators, signing tools, and font-integrity checks that claim they do.

TTF — Kerning in GPOS (18 documented pairs)

Eighteen kerning pairs published as a GPOS pair-positioning lookup, with no legacy kern table present. Pair it with its kern-table twin to find out which table your layout engine is actually reading. Original typeface, free to use.

TTF — Kerning in the Legacy kern Table (same 18 pairs)

The same eighteen kerning pairs, this time in a format-0 legacy kern table with no GPOS at all. Modern shapers ignore kern when GPOS exists and some ignore it entirely, so this twin is how you tell which code path produced a given measurement. Original typeface, free to use.

TTF — Localised Forms (locl) for Turkish and Romanian

Language-specific substitution through locl: tagging text as Turkish swaps the i, tagging it as Romanian swaps the S, and untagged text gets neither. The fixture for finding out whether your pipeline propagates a language tag from the document all the way to the shaper. Original typeface, free to use.

TTF — Mark Attachment (mark and mkmk) with GDEF

Mark-to-base and mark-to-mark positioning with a real GDEF glyph-class definition: three zero-width combining accents attach to ten base letters at documented anchors, and stacking a second mark uses the mkmk anchor. For testing diacritic placement without needing a full Unicode face. Original typeface, free to use.

An icon font with six simple pictographs (star, heart, check, arrow, circle, square) mapped to the Private Use Area (U+E000–U+E005), with the glyph map documented in the spec. A fixture for testing icon-font loading, @font-face, and PUA handling.

Actual file preview for TTF — Overlapping Contours with OVERLAP_SIMPLE and OVERLAP_COMPOUND

TTF — Overlapping Contours with OVERLAP_SIMPLE and OVERLAP_COMPOUND

This whole family is drawn as overlapping strokes rather than merged outlines, and this cut sets the two flags that tell a rasteriser so: OVERLAP_SIMPLE on simple glyphs and OVERLAP_COMPOUND on composites. For testing rasterisers that need the hint to avoid seams, and tools that must preserve the flags through a round trip. Original typeface, free to use.

TTF — Partially Instanced Variable Font (wdth pinned, wght live)

The two-axis font with its width axis pinned to Condensed and its weight axis left live — the shipping shape for a site that wants one width but the whole weight range. For testing that a loader reads the reduced fvar rather than the original axis list. Original typeface, free to use.

TTF — Same Disagreeing Metrics with USE_TYPO_METRICS Set

Byte-for-byte the same conflicting metrics as the disagree fixture, with one bit changed: fsSelection bit 7, USE_TYPO_METRICS. A conforming renderer must now prefer the OS/2 typo family and produce a 1.0 em line box. One bit, a 40 percent difference in leading. Original typeface, free to use.

TTF — Small Capitals (smcp and c2sc)

A full 26-glyph small-capital set reachable through smcp from lowercase and c2sc from capitals. Because the lowercase of this face is unicase, the small caps sit at a third, measurable height: 560 design units against 500 for lowercase and 700 for capitals, so a failed substitution shows up as a height rather than as a subtle shape difference. Original typeface, free to use.
