In this case FontCreator incorrectly identifies outline issues, as the bearings are fine. So in this case you can safely ignore the warning.

Could the outline issues found here be from the fact that the overall widths of the glyphs are much larger than the Advance Widths?
For example: in the Semibold font, the smallest vowel sign I has an advance width of 290 funits while the glyph itself spans -42 to 1206 for a total of 1248 funits along the x axis. Mathematically, these numbers add up as in, Span -|LSB|- |RSB| = Advance Width. So, I wonder just what triggers the “outline issue”?
Anyway, part of my problem was conflating “Outline Issues” with “Validation Issues”; expecting that correcting validation issues would fix or eliminate outline issues. I see now that they are separate issues.
BTW, I am not clear on just what the “Refresh” button on the Validation: real-time box actually does. I would expect it to remove a glyph from the validation issues list once one has fixed it but that seems not to be the case.

Well, yeah, the font seems to function just fine even with the off-curve extremes uncorrected! However, one is loath to leave warnings unheeded.
