gudrun__templin Some remarks:
- the PDF in the ZIP archive does not contain your font as a font but
rather as vector graphics
- in the otf file the font bounding box is zero for all four coordinates
- in the otf file missing value for UID base (not sure if that
matters or even is an issue)
- in the otf file the 'name' table has 0 entries (not sure if this is
really an issue)
- in the cff file for several glyphs some of the contour points are
outside of the glyph bounding box for that glyph (probably not a show
stopper)
I am not sure whether my remarks will be of any help (they are made
based on some internal tool we have here).
Good luck,
GT
