 She launched it as a Kickstarter project in 2011, in order to complete the first public release and share it with the world through Google Fonts.

 Technical reviews were made by Lasse Fister, Kalapi GajjarBordawekar and Marc Foley. Special thanks also to Thomas Linard, Valeria Dulitzky, Belén Quirós, and Germán Rozo.
 
+## Building
+
+Fonts are built automatically by GitHub Actions - take a look in the "Actions" tab for the latest build.
+
+If you want to build fonts manually on your own computer:
+
+- `make build` will produce font files.
+- `make test` will run [FontBakery](https://github.com/googlefonts/fontbakery)'s quality assurance tests.
+- `make proof` will generate HTML proof files.

+## Known Issues
+
+**Variable font display issues in Adobe apps:** Variable fonts may not display correctly in certain versions of Adobe CC apps. This behavior varies between different versions. For a more consistent experience, we recommend using the static font files instead. [More info](https://github.com/google/fonts/pull/8281#issuecomment-2402303242).
+
+**Bolder glyph variations:** There are known issues with the appearance of some glyphs in bolder weights. This is due to limitations in fontmake, the tool used to generate the fonts, and is under investigation.
+[More details here.](https://github.com/google/fonts/pull/8281#issuecomment-2419002841)
