Description

Open Sans font previews in apps like Monotype are defaulting to Hebrew. Monotype claim it's caused by the metadata being incorrect in the font files. Same problem does not occur with other typefaces imported from the Google Font project.

**To Reproduce**

Add Open Sans typeface to Monotype's enterprise font management service. Look at the preview. Cannot reproduce in Font Book.

**Expected behavior**

English default preview

**Screenshots**

**Additional context**

Non-OS/platform specific.
Apologies, I know it's a vague bug and it seems specific to Monotype, but they claim it's in the metadata.
