## Building

Fonts are built automatically by GitHub Actions - take a look in the "Actions" tab for the latest build.

If you want to build fonts manually on your own computer:

* `make build` will produce font files.
* `make test` will run [FontBakery](https://github.com/googlefonts/fontbakery)'s quality assurance tests.
* `make proof` will generate HTML proof files.

The proof files and QA tests are also available automatically via GitHub Actions - look at `https://github.com/SUSE/suse-font`.

**Build notes**

- Static OTF/TTF fonts map Thin → 250 and ExtraLight → 275 `usWeightClass`
  for legacy Word compatibility.  
- Variable fonts remain canonical (100–900).  
- Black mapped consistently to 900.
