[Fontforge-devel] fontlint zany?

[Barry S. <che...@ch...>]

Attached is an incipient font generated with ff. I am using
em-size=2048 for ergonomic reasons (it turns out to be less physical
work for my partly disabled hands). Fontlint gives me output like
this:

    A point in .notdef is outside the font bounding box data.
    ...
    ...
    ...
    A point in v is outside the font bounding box data.
    A point in w is outside the font bounding box data.
    A point in x is outside the font bounding box data.
    A point in y is outside the font bounding box data.
    A point in z is outside the font bounding box data.
    Validation Valley ...Failed
      Self Intersecting Glyph
      Missing Points at Extrema
      Bad 'glyf' or 'loca' table

Why does fontlint think that this PostScript font has a glyf or loca
table? And does that confusion have to do with the bounding box
warnings?
