ytra is a composite axis #55

Open sberlow opened 6 years ago

Unlike the x composite axes where the xtra and xopq are blended, ytra is composed of axes added on like balls of a snowman, piled up from the repertoire of scripts and glyphs of the font, into the maximum of 6 layers, (descender accents, descenders, x-ht, ascenders, caps, and ascenders accents), which both add up, align and overlap, (with the axes of other script's registered alignments), to form the mighty ytra.

@dberlow Shall move the ytra to B. https://axes-proposal.typenetwork.com/

and add this the text.

Updating the Type and Description columns in the spreadsheet should accomplish this.
