Hello everybody,
which kind of software do you use to validate (and eventually fix) your OTF/TTF files?
Actually i'm interested in your post-production process you use to test and validate and finally obtain a quality files that works fine on any given platform.

The Font Validator (originally of Microsoft, though not any more I think) is pretty helpful: https://github.com/HinTak/Font-Validator/releases
As well as the validator that comes with the Font Book on Mac OS (Font Book > File > Validate File...)
The info these will give you are split up by table. To make adjustments FontTools would be helpful: https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools1 -
Fontbakery, which wraps hintak fontval, ots, etc3
-
DTL OTMaster, which wraps everything you need in one tool, etc3

I just tried fontbakery and it's really good. Thank you all for the suggestions.
Anyone of you ever used OTSanitizer?0
