Erratic embeddability / Vendor ID specification
The embeddability of the fonts in this family is inconsistent.
I cannot see where this property is specified in any of the source files, but I notice that the Vendor ID is not specified for several of the fonts within the family, and those two issues seem to coincide precisely for every single one of the fonts.
