You all talk about upper limit, but I recently got a DCP rejected because my font was BELOW 200kB.
Have you ever seen that before?

Never.


I have seen commercially mastered DCP with fonts much smaller than that.There are many many TTFs much smaller than 200KByte.

I wonder what kind of validation tool was used to determine that the font should be rejected? Or if it was a random
"tech guy" that looked at the .ttf file and did his own judgement call based on it's size.

Ask them provide more exact information. If you are sure the font is ok - request for the DCP to be un-rejected.
