Research direction

Start with the Peace Sans assets in the linked fonts/other/peace-sans directory and compare the corrupted woff with the working woff2 file and the issue's reported WOFF metadata mismatch. Done means the WOFF file is valid, its header size matches the actual file size, and it loads in the font viewers listed in the report.

Description

Description

The woff file for Peace Sans seems to be corrupted (the woff2 works fine though).

I tested the font by dropping it in various online font view webapps, all of wich fail in different ways with the file:

All of the above work with the woff2 version of the font.

(I found this corruption with a script that compares the file size in the WOFF header with the actual file size of all the fonts, and it detected a mismatch. But looking into the file more it seems like it is somehow already bad from nearly the beginning.)
