The Great Font Bakery Show

Have you ever wondered how major font vendors like Adobe and Google test their fonts prior to shipping them? Did you learn how to make sourdough during quarantine but maybe your font baking skills are lacking? If you answered yes to either of these questions or are just curious about Font quality assurance in general; this workshop is for you. Font Bakery is an open source Font QA tool used by your favorite foundries. The content of this workshop will take you through explaining why we might want to use a quality assurance tool, the fundamentals of installing Font Bakery, related helpful software, how to use different "check profiles", how to fix some of the common problems that font bakery finds, and finally where to look to find more information once you've run your font through the bakery. This will mostly be an introduction to the world of font quality assurance with Font Bakery, so if that seems too easy for you feel free to drop in and give extra help to those just starting out.
