Processing Meriweather-700-italic throws an error

[astoilkov]

I am processing some variants of the Meriweather font. However, the 700 weight italic version is the only one throwing an error.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

You can download the attached font and just initialize the font with opentype
Merriweather-700-italic.woff.zip

Context

I have tried to report the issue in the library you are calling internally but no one responded.

Your Environment

• Version used: Latest
• Font used: Meriweather 700 italic
• Browser Name and version: Node.js
• Operating System and version (desktop or mobile): macOS

It looks like there is one error in that font:

ERROR | The "head" table checkSumAdjustment (0x49a12a1c) does not match the calculated checkSumAdjustment (0x8dfcfa15).

Checked with http://validator.fontbureau.com/validate

You mean we should report the font to Google?

If that is the case we can close this.

Also as the problem is also linked with tiny-inflate I guess I won't be able to help more than:

• You could try to recreate a woff (either from a .ttf or .otf or converting it to .ttf first)
• Or find another version of that font in .woff that works.

I think you should report it, because it is weird that there is an error in this font.
