I think this is causing an app I use (emacs) to be unable to use italic. I don't know much about fonts, so I could be way off on this. I'm sure it could be argued that it should not matter, and emacs is buggy, but this looks like a mistake to me, and maybe it will fix the issue.

UPDATE: after using a binary editor to change pyrs to GOOG in the offending ttf files, this did resolve the issue with emacs and Roboto-Mono. It would be great if there was an official release with this change.

[emacs] Use medium Roboto Mono

Note that this font has a bug in it which causes italic to not
function in emacs. This has been reported to the repo, fortunately
this is easily worked around using a binary editor.

I saw the exact same behavior: Emacs failing to render/recognize the italic variants of the font due to the inconsistent vendor ID. I opened a PR: #30
