# Investigation Report: Homemade Apple
-## Summary
+## Source Repository
-Homemade Apple is a handwriting/display font designed by Font Diner, licensed under Apache 2.0. It was initially added to google/fonts in the 2015 "Initial commit" and received a hotfix update in 2017 (PR #776). The upstream repository at `https://github.com/librefonts/homemadeapple` contains only TTX-decomposed font tables and no buildable source files (.glyphs, .ufo, .designspace, .sfd, or .vfb). The font has no source block in METADATA.pb and no config.yaml. Since the upstream repo contains no compilable sources, a config.yaml cannot be created.

-The repository is a legacy `librefonts` mirror containing TTX decompositions rather than actual design sources. This is consistent with early Google Fonts onboarding practices where some fonts were contributed as pre-compiled binaries without editable sources.

### Font Diner Context
## Conclusion
-**Status: no_config_possible**
-
-Homemade Apple has an upstream repository at `https://github.com/librefonts/homemadeapple`, but it contains only TTX decompositions of the compiled font, not editable design sources. No config.yaml can be created because there are no compilable source files (.glyphs, .ufo, .designspace) from which to build the font. The font is licensed under Apache 2.0 (not OFL) and resides in `apache/homemadeapple` rather than `ofl/`. This family is not currently tracked in `data/gfonts_library_sources.json` as the tracking system currently covers only OFL-licensed fonts.
+Homemade Apple has no buildable design sources in any known repository. Both the googlefontdirectory-hg monorepo and the librefonts mirror contain only metadata and TTX decompositions. No config.yaml can be created.
-A source block could theoretically be added to METADATA.pb pointing to the librefonts repo, but without buildable sources, the `config_yaml` field cannot be populated. The repository URL could still be documented for reference purposes.
