+The source directory contains a single FontForge SFD file, which is an original design source but is not compatible with the gftools-builder pipeline.
## Investigation
-The METADATA.pb for Kristi has no `source` block. The font was added in the "Initial commit" (`90abd17b4`) and subsequently updated in `1ac6f76ab` ("hotfix-kristi: v1.004 added (#902)", May 8, 2017).

The copyright notice reads: "Copyright (c) 2010, Birgit Pulk (birgitpulk@gmail.com). All rights reserved. Licenced under SIL OFL v1.1"
The DESCRIPTION.en_us.html describes it as "a calligraphy font inspired by old chancery typefaces" designed by Birgit Pulk, a graphic designer from Estonia.
-The cached repository at `upstream_repos/fontc_crater_cache/librefonts/kristi` contains only TTX dumps of the binary font:
-- `Kristi.ttf.*` (TTX dumps)
-- No Glyphs, UFO, or other editable source formats
+A cached repository exists at `upstream_repos/fontc_crater_cache/librefonts/kristi` containing only TTX dumps of the binary font. The googlefontdirectory-hg monorepo preserves the more useful SFD design source that the librefonts mirror did not retain.
-No upstream GitHub repository for Birgit Pulk was found in the cache.
+No upstream GitHub repository for Birgit Pulk was found.
## Conclusion
-The font is an old handwriting font from 2010 with no tracked upstream repository. The librefonts cache contains only TTX dumps of the binary font. No `config.yaml` is possible with the current sources. This family needs further investigation to find the original source files from Birgit Pulk.
+The googlefontdirectory-hg monorepo contains the original design source in FontForge SFD format, but this is not buildable with gftools-builder. The librefonts mirror only preserved TTX dumps. No upstream GitHub repository is known for this family.
