@npub1urz…39sc Have you tried turning it off and then back on again?

@npub1xqv…230r One does have to buy into the system warts and all, and it requires in practice that you work in the cutting edge version and communicate with the developers to get features working. It has served me well.

@npub1xqv…230r That looks pretty much exactly like what I have going.

@npub1xqv…230r Did you have users wanting to have the first mark in a two mark glyph to be aligned with the single mark characters? How was that arrived at?

@npub1jzp…72dw They really need to oil them, they are rusting.

@npub1urz…39sc I want a parametric format.

How do I copy a glyph from Glyphs and then paste the XML(?) into an editor? I believe I did this once upon a time, but I can’t remember how I did it.

Bézier curves are terrible. Why do we do this to ourselves?

The Sonoma 14.1 update nuked all my custom shortcuts in all my applications. #ThousandMileStare

Any typefaces using the `rand` feature? Maybe even open sauce?

@npub1urz…39sc @npub13d7…6dpp Looks like some CMS shenanigans. The second mailing you sent has a number suffixed at the end of the otherwise identical URL. Only the one with the number works.

@npub1urz…39sc FYI—The link in your RSS is this: https://buttondown.email/letterror/archive/news-ltr-no-1-new-styles-for-federal/ and it renders thusly

For every font that gets it right there are ten thousand that get it wrong. Just look at the garbage on publicly available free font and pirate sites. Training machine learning on this is going to go nowhere: garbage in, garbage out. The only entity I can envision being able to do successful machine learning would be Monopolytype.
And pirates.

@npub1jzp…72dw Yes, thanks.

So Monotype has no way of contacting them except this ‘lead generating’ page https://www.monotype.com/company/contact I suppose they don’t want to know how a pirate stole their IP and is selling it on one of their storefronts.

@npub1urz…39sc Now they want the theft legalised. Swell.

Does any of you know what this system is? It might be something out of Xerox Parc, but not sure.

@npub1urz…39sc Can’t we please make a new font format with just one place to set these values? This design-by-poking-knitting-needles-into-a-black-box is a real downer.

Imagine all the trick stuff that can be built with WASM fonts (I can’t imagine it so I’m gonna need your help, what can it do?) https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz/blob/main/docs/wasm-shaper.md

How do I set an arbitrary ‘Variable Font Origin’ for a Glyphs project built by ‘fontmake’ (if that is possible) or ‘GFtools’? Setting it in Glyphs will only allow me to select an existing master. I know it’s possible because I’m looking at such a TTF right now, but I can’t decipher how/where it was set.
By-the-by: Is any of this documented?

2023-06-21 08:44:30

Any `fontmake` aficionados on the line? How do I treat elidable names in the `stat` portion? I have an `opsz` that includes a ‘normal’ – do I have to name it or can it be elidable?

The 2006 FontBook. Found at de Slegte, fine condition, €35. Looking on Abebooks I see it for sale at up to $250, what’s up with that?
