CyanoHao commented 5 years ago

[x] Migrate to ~~fonttools-based build system~~ ot-builder for better support for variable font.
- [x] Manipulate CFF directly.
- [x] ot-builder fixes and improvements.
[x] Add a rond axis of 0 (not rounded) to 100 (fully rounded, default).
- [x] CFF2 instancer.
- [ ] CFF2 → TT conversion.

- But, is it necessary?
OpenType/CFF1, static instance
OpenType/TT, variable font
- Useful.
- Can be difficult.
