These are good points; luckily these sound like fixable problems :-) Can you please collect the problems more precisely - which exact characters (or character ranges) are missing, what characters have design problems, etc. Also if you can double-check the metrics compatibility with the C* fonts (like if the pair kerning is really the same etc.) [I believe they really are, but in case there are some corner cases, or anything.] Based on that, I'd ask the TDF Board to consider a tender to fix such Carlito and Caladea issues; I hope it might fit the 2016 UX budget. Thank you for your help!
