Thank you Hin-Tak for bringing this up to AHG attention.

I checked the text of the ISO OFF spec, and it doesn’t have the same issue that online OT version has. ISO document provides the description of the current OS/2 table format as part of the main spec, and offers descriptions for all prior versions as historical references in Annex B (informative).

It looks like both the end notes in the OS/2 “ulUnicodeRange” field description and the “Notes” column in the “ulUnicodeRange” table are purely editorial comments, and were recent editorial revisions of the OT doc only.

Thank you,
Vladimir

Hi, I haven't checked the iso spec pdf yet, but the Microsoft online version of it has a couple of off by ones:
https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/typography-issues/issues/392<https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/EgFnCXD0wrhXOJ3ms6AotG>

Found while looking another font validator issue on the os/2 table.

( it is https://github.com/HinTak/Font-Validator/issues/54<https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/RI1lCYEnxytLA8P5iGcdq4> , if people are interested)

Hope everybody is keeping safe and healthy!
