Hey 👋 yep Capsize extracts the internal metrics available within the font files, so if there are metrics missing they will not be populated. I have audited the Google Fonts library for both missing and correctness of values and these issues are definitely outliers.

If you are using Typescript, the types are generated and will catch missing metrics at build time.

I have considered populating these (even manually as there are so few) but that will create manual review overhead if the upstream metrics are populated/changed on Google Fonts.

I completely agree, avoiding manual review is key.

That’s a good start! I wonder if it would be possible to include a smart fallback or if a separate script could generate the metrics for a particularly troublesome fonts missing the cap-height.

Perhaps, it would be possible to measure the cap-height of particular letters. Maybe the letter H or a median/average of the letters BDEFHIKLRTUVXYZ and do a few sanity checks comparing to the ascent.

If you have any suggestions for making the script better or more accurate, please let me know!
