+# Cedarville Cursive
+
+**Date investigated**: 2026-02-27
+**Status**: missing_config
+**Designer**: Kimberly Geswein
+**METADATA.pb path**: `ofl/cedarvillecursive/METADATA.pb`

+## Source Data

+
+## How the Repository URL Was Found
+
+The repository URL `https://github.com/librefonts/cedarvillecursive` was identified from the existing tracking data in `data/gfonts_library_sources.json`. The URL was verified to be accessible (HTTP 200). The repository belongs to the `librefonts` GitHub organization, which was a project that created archive repositories for Google Fonts families by extracting TTX data from the binary fonts and preserving original source files (when available).
+
+The repo was created on 2014-07-16 and contains a single commit from 2014-10-17 by user `hash3g`. There are no other known upstream repositories for this font by the designer (Kimberly Geswein). No repositories were found under other owners on GitHub.
+
+The METADATA.pb file in google/fonts currently has no `source` block.
+
+## How the Commit Hash Was Identified
+
+The repository contains only a single commit:
+
+- **Hash**: `cd212b0e2dc2364a3012ef43a3b9155c7ed0d352`
+- **Date**: 2014-10-17 13:32:23 +0300
+- **Author**: hash3g
+- **Message**: "update .travis.yml"
+
+Since this is the only commit, it is necessarily the one that represents the full state of the repository. The commit message ("update .travis.yml") is misleading -- it appears to be the initial import of all files into the librefonts archive, committed as a single squashed commit.
+
+The font was added to google/fonts in the initial commit (`90abd17b4`, 2015-03-07 by Dave Crossland). The binary was later modified in commit `8ccda7bf7` (2015-08-05, "Fix fsType for 40 font files") which patched the fsType flag without rebuilding from source.
+
+## How Config YAML Was Resolved
+
+No `config.yaml` exists in the upstream repository. The only source file is `src/Cedarville-Cursive.vfb`, which is a FontLab Studio binary format (`.vfb`). This format is **not supported** by gftools-builder or fontc.
+
+The repository also contains TTX (XML) decompositions of the compiled font binary (split across multiple `.ttx` files), but these are not editable design sources -- they are a representation of the compiled binary itself.
+
+An override `config.yaml` **cannot** be created because:
+1. The `.vfb` format is not supported by any current open-source font build toolchain
+2. The TTX files are decomposed binaries, not design sources
+3. There are no `.glyphs`, `.ufo`, or `.designspace` files available
+
+No override `config.yaml` exists in the google/fonts family directory either.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Commit exists in upstream repo: **Yes** (only commit)
+- Commit date: 2014-10-17 13:32:23 +0300
+- Commit message: "update .travis.yml"
+- Source files at commit:
+  - `src/Cedarville-Cursive.vfb` (FontLab binary, 91125 bytes)
+  - `src/VERSIONS.txt` ("Cedarville-Cursive.ttf: Version 1.001 2010")
+  - `src/METADATA_comments.txt` (font-optimizer subsetting commands)
+  - `Cedarville-Cursive.ttf.ttx` (master TTX referencing 17 split TTX table files)
+  - `.travis.yml` (fontbakery CI configuration)
+  - `DESCRIPTION.en_us.html`, `METADATA.json`, `OFL.txt`
+
+## Confidence
+
+**HIGH**: The repository URL is confirmed accessible, the commit hash is the only commit in the repo, and the source format limitation (VFB-only) is definitively verified. The font cannot be rebuilt from open-source tooling without source conversion work. The librefonts archive is the only known upstream for this font.
