Re: variable fonts: trapezoids?
Ideally, you would add corner delta sets only for the glyphs that require them. Actually, ideally this is something that your tools would do at the time the variable font is generated. So e.g. you mi…2 -
Re: variable fonts: trapezoids?
Yes, but you won’t necessarily like what happens in the corners. Every variable axis ‘in play’, i.e. that is somewhere other than the default instance setting for that axis, influences the position o…2 -
Re: variable fonts: trapezoids?
Hmm. This is the sort of issue that arises if you treat OT variable like MM, with masters at axis extrema, but then want to add an axis that only affects part of the design space. It is much easier i…1 -
Re: Different "story" structures in small sizes: a poll
I lean towards (B), but that’s partly because I always have a small part of my brain that is thinking about IPA and other phonetic notation alphabets in which a/ɑ and g/ɡ are different letters.1 -
Re: Hinting Variable Fonts
You can semi-autohint variable TTFs using VTT. You need to spend some time setting up variable CVT entries for the axis extrema [and intermediate delta sets], but you can autohint the default instanc…2
