## 2. The typeface’s design is comprehensive
Before we get into the specifics of actual font files, we need to consider the details in the design of the typeface itself. Has the [type designer](/glossary/type_designer) provided support for multiple languages, included legible details, and made the minimum [weights](/glossary/weight) and [styles](/glossary/style) necessary? Beyond that, does the typeface contain [alternate glyphs](/glossary/alternates), more weights and styles, different [widths](/glossary/width), and perhaps even [optical sizes](/glossary/optical_sizes)?
