+# Investigation Report: Dynalight
+
+**Date investigated:** 2026-02-27
+**Status:** `missing_config` (VFB-only sources, no gftools-builder config possible)
+**Designer:** Brian J. Bonislawsky (Astigmatic)
+
+## METADATA.pb Path

+## Source Data
+
+| Field            | Value                                                    |
+|------------------|----------------------------------------------------------|
+| repository_url   | `https://github.com/librefonts/dynalight`                |
+| commit           | `af7642053cc1189c5c8a4b93d0b4c1b1c5edcb49`              |

+| config_yaml      | N/A (VFB-only sources)                                   |
+
+## How URL Was Found
+
+The upstream repository URL `https://github.com/librefonts/dynalight` was already recorded in the tracking data (`data/gfonts_library_sources.json`). The `librefonts` GitHub organization hosts mirrors of Google Fonts source repositories, created by user hash3g. The repository is accessible (HTTP 200) and contains the font sources.
+
+No original Astigmatic-owned repository was found. The librefonts mirror appears to be the only public source repository for this font.
+
+## How Commit Hash Was Identified
+
+The upstream repository contains exactly one commit:
+
+```
+af7642053cc1189c5c8a4b93d0b4c1b1c5edcb49 2014-10-17 "update .travis.yml"
+```
+
+This single commit, authored by hash3g on 2014-10-17, constitutes the entire repository content. It added all files including source VFBs, TTX decompositions, FONTLOG.txt, license, and a Travis CI configuration. Since there is only one commit, the hash identification is trivial.
+
+The font was added to Google Fonts on 2011-12-19 (per METADATA.pb `date_added`), well before the librefonts mirror was created in 2014. The font binary was part of the google/fonts "Initial commit" on 2015-03-07, which was the bulk import of the entire existing catalog at the time.
+
+## How Config YAML Was Resolved
+
+No `config.yaml` exists in the upstream repository, and none can be created because the source files are exclusively in FontLab VFB format:
+
+- `src/Dynalight-Regular.vfb` -- Original source with contour overlaps
+- `src/Dynalight-Regular-OTF.vfb` -- Merged contours for OTF
+- `src/Dynalight-Regular-TTF.vfb` -- TrueType outlines with hinting
+
+VFB is a proprietary FontLab Studio binary format that is not supported by gftools-builder. The repository also contains TTX decompositions of both TrueType and OpenType builds, but these are not suitable as gftools-builder sources either.
+
+No override `config.yaml` exists in the google/fonts family directory (`ofl/dynalight/`).
+
+## Verification
+
+- **Repository accessible:** Yes (HTTP 200 at `https://github.com/librefonts/dynalight`)
+- **Repository clean:** Yes (no local modifications)
+- **Branch:** `master` (single branch)
+- **Commit exists:** Yes, `af76420` is the sole commit in the repository
+- **Font binary in google/fonts:** `Dynalight-Regular.ttf` (53,148 bytes), present since the initial commit (2015-03-07)
+- **Font version:** 1.000 (per `src/VERSIONS.txt`)
+- **Source block in METADATA.pb (main):** Not yet present (source block exists on `sources_info_2026-02-25` branch from PR #10278)
+
+## Confidence
+
+**HIGH** -- The repository URL and commit hash are unambiguous. The librefonts mirror has a single commit containing all sources. The font has never been updated in google/fonts since the initial bulk import. The limitation is purely that VFB sources cannot be built with gftools-builder, so no config.yaml is applicable.
+
+## Notes
+
+- This is a librefonts mirror, not an original designer-owned repository. The original sources were created by Brian J. Bonislawsky of Astigmatic (AOETI).
+- The font was added to Google Fonts in December 2011, predating the google/fonts GitHub repository.
+- The copyright field contains a Reserved Font Name ("Dynalight").
+- The font is classified as both DISPLAY and HANDWRITING.
+- No PRs to google/fonts specifically reference Dynalight.
