Re: Just getting started...
Yeah, we went from 512 in the old legacy font version of the icons, to 480—and then 960 when we needed more precision. Even if you are initially pulling from an SVG file, you don’t know what the futu…1 -
Re: Inconsistent overshoots?
Why not just add a TT hinting CVT alignment zone for the actual top of the letter shape? TT hinting does not need to follow PS hinting, so you are not limited to ‘blue’ alignment zones. You can have …1 -
Re: Affinity 2.0
Yes, footnotes, endnotes and side notes. All of which can be used in conjunction with each other. However, without the ability to map styles, text import is still a pita. As well, too many reports o…1 -
Re: Interpolation - Smooth to Sharp Transition
Zero-length handles have traditionally been a problem in conversion of cubic (PS, CFF) curves to quadratic (TTF) curves. As Thomas says, in a variable font design, there are places where it is intent…1 -

I've been a happy customer of Kenneth Ormandy and Kabisa for a couple of years now!1 -
Re: Inconsistent overshoots?
Your top-of-serif won’t get its overshoot controlled. That means it will not get rounded down to the x-height at any particular size, and may sometimes visible float above the x-height—especially at …2 -
Re: Interpolation - Smooth to Sharp Transition
If you have a real curve, in a non-variable font, and one handle is retracted onto the on-curve point, that is usually just sloppy. In variable fonts, there are cases where such constructions are not…2 -
Re: What to do about our fonts after we die?
in my mind I my mind I was thinking you could potentially use one of those places as your digital locker, set it all up with them ahead of time and then have it in your will that they release them?1 -
Re: Inconsistent overshoots?
Strange, I always have the urge to give /s/ slightly larger overshoots than /o/. Perhaps it's because I'm thinking of humanist sanses with relatively narrow (and thus pointy) /s/.1 -
Re: Inconsistent overshoots?
Absolutely, overshoot can be expected to vary between glyphs, when different shapes are involved. Flatter/wider elements need less overshoot, pointier/smaller bits need more. The old terminology from…4
