Ok, let's use the big guns...
I run ttx on the current MuseScore FreeXxxx.ttf fonts and on your Mac and
non-Mac variants (downloaded from your github PR). Leaving aside for the
moment being the bold variants, these are the results.
*1) Common tables*: All fonts contains the following tables
Thank again. As you can see, I don't really know this stuff. For the
record, I did not use old style kern at all. I always had apple and old
style kern off. I had tested the apple option and it seemed to have no
