+## Source Repository
-## Source Data (METADATA.pb)
+The original design sources for Ledger are preserved in the **googlefontdirectory-hg** Mercurial monorepo at commit `52f780bc9d197280a9f430574e179a5f233c56b6`, under the path `ledger/src/`.

-No source block

+### Source Files in googlefontdirectory-hg
-## Investigation
+- `Ledger-Regular-OTF.vfb` -- FontLab binary source (proprietary, not buildable with gftools-builder)
+- `Ledger-Regular-TTF.sfd` -- FontForge SFD file (legacy, not buildable with gftools-builder)
+- `Ledger-Regular.otf` -- compiled OTF binary, not a design source
+- `METADATA_comments.txt` -- metadata file, not a design source
-The METADATA.pb for Ledger contains no `source { }` block at all — no `repository_url`, no commit hash, no config path.
+The design sources are in VFB and SFD legacy formats only. No `.glyphs`, `.ufo`, or `.designspace` files are present. These formats are not compatible with gftools-builder.

## Conclusion
-No source block exists and no upstream repository was found. The font has been updated multiple times in google/fonts but the source repository was never documented. Denis Masharov would need to be contacted or searched for to find if sources were published. Status is `missing_url`.
+The googlefontdirectory-hg monorepo preserves VFB and SFD sources for Ledger, but these are legacy formats not compatible with gftools-builder. No config.yaml can be created without first converting sources to a supported format. The font has been updated multiple times in google/fonts but the source repository was never documented. Denis Masharov would need to be contacted or searched for to find if modern sources were ever published.
