- The proposed workflow reads the written file back from disk and compares it with the accepted plan; the beta is not yet available.
Field notes
The page separates conversion, family repair, and transfer into distinct workflows, each with a stated inspect-first, write-safely, verify-afterward sequence. It says conversion avoids overwriting source files and lists OpenType PS, OpenType TT, WOFF, and WOFF2 as output formats. The product is not yet available to test: the first signed macOS beta is described as in preparation.
