                    Hey everyone
I installed Font Bakery, but have no knowledge of python or programming (except html/css) so I have no clue how to use it.
So I was wondering if there was any good software quality control software, to check if the technical aspects of the font are OK but for people that are not programmers. (Update: I could install and run Microsoft's font validator, but I don't know if there is something better)
Thank you!

            Hi Fernando, You can try a free version of DTL OTmaster.
 The program has a tool called “consistency checker” and is very helpful.
 The paid version, of course, is much better.

            If you managed to get Fontbakery installed you don't need any programming knowledge to use the pre-made check profiles, which are very useful: see the documentation. At a minimum, in Terminal use something like this:fontbakery check-universal path/to/font.ttf Each reported problem usually includes some information or a link to a discussion of why such a check was included.4
