-No public source repository has been found for Neucha.
+- **Repository**: [googlefontdirectory-hg](https://github.com/googlefonts/googlefontdirectory-hg) (Mercurial monorepo, pre-GitHub era)
+- **Commit**: `52f780bc9d197280a9f430574e179a5f233c56b6`
+- **Source path**: `ofl/neucha/src/`
+- **Buildable**: No — legacy formats only (.vfb/.sfd)
 
-- The designer is Jovanny Lemonad (Jovanny Lemonad, `lemonad@jovanny.ru`). The OFL copyright points to `http://www.jovanny.ru` (2008–2010).
+The font sources are in the **googlefontdirectory-hg** monorepo, a git mirror of the
+original Google Code Mercurial repository (`code.google.com/p/googlefontdirectory`)
+that was the canonical host for Google Fonts from 2010 to 2013.

+### Source Files
+
+| File | Type |
+|------|------|
+| `Neucha.vfb` | FontLab VFB source (proprietary, not buildable with gftools) |
+| `Neucha-TTF.sfd` | FontForge SFD source (not buildable with gftools-builder) |
+| `Neucha-hints.ttf` | Compiled/hinted TTF binary (not a design source) |
+| `neucha.otf` | Compiled OTF binary (not a design source) |
+| `METADATA_comments.txt` | Metadata comments (not a source file) |
+
+The VFB file is the original design source (FontLab proprietary format). The SFD is a FontForge conversion used for TrueType production. Neither format is compatible with gftools-builder.

+## Designer and Provenance
+
+- **Designer**: Jovanny Lemonad (`lemonad@jovanny.ru`). The OFL copyright points to `http://www.jovanny.ru` (2008-2010).
 - The designer's website `jovanny.ru` is currently unreachable (connection refused).
 - The RPM packaging repo `OpenMandrivaAssociation/fonts-otf-neucha` identifies the upstream URL as `https://jovanny.ru/free-fonts.html`, where the font was distributed as a pre-built OTF binary — not as source files.
 - No GitHub repository under any of the expected accounts (`jovanny`, `lemonad`, `jovannylemonad`, `googlefonts/neucha`) was found.
-- No source repository exists in `/mnt/shared/upstream_repos/fontc_crater_cache/`.
-
-## Source Files
-
-Unknown. The font appears to have been distributed exclusively as a compiled binary (`.otf` / `.ttf`). No UFO, SFD, Glyphs, or other editable source format has been located.
 
 ## Build System
 
-Not applicable — no source repository found.
+Not applicable — the VFB source requires FontLab Studio and the SFD source requires FontForge. Neither is compatible with the modern gftools-builder pipeline.
 
-## config.yaml Status
+## config.yaml
 
-Not applicable — no upstream repository found.
+Does not exist. Cannot be created — no gftools-builder compatible sources available.
 
 ## Notes
 
 - Neucha is a Cyrillic+Latin handwriting font, created by Jovanny Lemonad in 2005 and redesigned subsequently.
-- The copyright dates in the OFL span 2005–2010; no updates to the Google Fonts binary have been identified.
+- The copyright dates in the OFL span 2005-2010; no updates to the Google Fonts binary have been identified.
 - The font was added to Google Fonts on 2010-09-21, making it one of the earliest additions.
 - The designer's online presence (`jovanny.ru`) is currently offline; the font may only have ever been distributed as a binary download.
-- This family is a strong candidate for a "no source available" designation unless the designer can be contacted directly to provide sources.
