v3.301 Mastered for Google Fonts #28

Closed m4rc1e closed 7 years ago

m4rc1e commented 7 years ago

Hey,

I've mastered your fonts so they comply with our spec. Due to the amount of files and your repo structure being quite good, I've left it alone.

All fonts have been regenerated.

Thank you for your hard work sir.

CatharsisFonts commented 7 years ago

Thanks! 😁

What does the mastering entail, exactly? There seems to be a large volume of changes to the source files.

Oof, you rescaled the masters to 1000 UPM? I think I intentionally avoided that so as not to mess up the paths at the micro level. Some of the strokes are only 10 units thick and have short handles...

At first sight, they still look OK, though. I hope I don't have to go over them with a fine-toothed comb.

I trust the metrics should still be the same as before?

m4rc1e commented 7 years ago

Well you had the customParameter 'Scale to upm' set to 1000 for each instance. This will have exactly the same effect.

CatharsisFonts commented 7 years ago

I seem to remember that the custom parameter is applied on the floating-point coordinates of the interpolated instances, and is therefore more accurate. But I guess it will still be rounded again afterwards, which might erase that percision again.

m4rc1e commented 7 years ago

Alright,

If you find any issues with my approach feel free to revert. However, I want you at the very least to implement the current font data

The vertical metrics were also changed. However, the new values retain the same line spacing as the previous release

Also run this script

I don't have the time to generate off all 220+ fonts each time. I wasted the whole day on this project and am replying to this at 9:30pm.

CatharsisFonts commented 7 years ago

Nah, it's fine. I haven't seen any indication of path deterioration in your version. I'm glad to see that not only is the line spacing the same, but also the glyphs appear as large as before.

I wouldn't call it a waste. 😉 And it's 22:44 over here, in case it matters.

:-)

I woke up this morning thinking this would be 2 hours max lol.

Night mate

CatharsisFonts commented 7 years ago

Argh, I just noticed my new /R.ss02 is not being exported into the Garamond cuts. I guess I didn't run the script that refreshes the custom parameters that produce the spin-off instances after adding the new glyphs.

I assume I'm not breaking any of your work if I run those scripts and re-export the fonts in the current live version?

m4rc1e commented 7 years ago

That's fine. It won't break any of my changes.

Just regen and let me know when you're happy.

Cheers, Marc

m4rc1e commented 7 years ago

@CatharsisFonts just out of curiosity, how long has this taken you?

This is looks like tonnes of work.

I am a fan.

CatharsisFonts commented 7 years ago

Great, will do.

As for the work time, I have no idea in terms of hours, as it was mostly done in irregular chunks of leisure time. This thread documents some of the progress history, though:
