Ready for GF step 1 #3

Hello Tyler!

I'm Emma, I'm helping Rosalie on the font onboarding.

I checked and built Anybody. At the moment we can't export the font to static because the outlines are made of quadratic curves inside the sources. It is problematic, and Rosalie is going to ask to her colleagues why this issue. In case it can't be fixed at the tool level, would you mind convert the outlines to cubic and the fix the resulting outline compatibility issues?

thank you

Also last time we onboarded Gluten without the slant axis, but we may have found another approach (while waiting for it to be "registered"): we can leave it inside the font but not having related instances nor STAT table values. So it is there, user can play with the slider but can't access it through italic instances etc. That is what we tried in this PR and I gonna try to have validated too.

Yes I've been working on the quadratic/cubic problem, it isn't fun and is part of the reason why it is taking me so long to get a better version to you (which I promise is coming).

RosaWagner commented 3 years ago

Ah okay, in that case we close that PR and we wait for your new version :)

I mean, what was in this merge? I can probably merge safely. Let me know!

RosaWagner commented 3 years ago

There was all the needed changes for the repo + set up in sources to build the variable fonts with correct font info. But everything related to static exports has been removed until solution is found

sursly commented 3 years ago

OK. I'll merge it since I was already working on fixing the curves. That said, I was able to build statics of Anybody in the past using https://github.com/fonttools/skia-pathops
