I stand corrected. Peer is right, a side fillet is also required. A toe
fillet is not.

In addition to the heel fillet, also a meniscus untill at least half
lead thickness is required at the side of the lead feet as far as it has
a protuding width of solder land underneath. If there is no protruding
solder land, it is difficult to see if the full length of the feet is
wetted.
As a rule, the total leadframe must be wettable but, the tip of the toe
is cut off after moulding. It has a clean surface that most of the time
will be wetted, but it has no wetting requirement.
