Re: Question on DSIG and head flag 11

In the back of my mind I figured that you were the one who reported the otf2otc issue, but I was too lazy to go back and check (I am technically on vacation, and Adobe is also shut down this week). ;-)

The AFDKO otf2otc script wasn't doing this, though the tables in the source OpenType/CFF fonts were aligned to four-byte boundaries. Anyway, the otf2otc was adjusted in early March, and Version 1.002 and beyond (Version 1.004) do not have this issue (though it didn't seem to matter).
