Microsoft Office 2013 and below products expect fonts to have a digital
signature declared in a DSIG table in order to implement OpenType features.
The EOL date for Microsoft Office 2013 products is 4/11/2023.
This issue does not impact Microsoft Office 2016 and above products.
As we approach the EOL date, it is now considered better to
completely remove the table.
But if you still want your font to support OpenType features on Office 2013,
then you may find it handy to add a fake signature on a placeholder DSIG table
by running one of the helper scripts provided at
https://github.com/googlefonts/gftools
