Multicolor Glyph support (COLR/CPAL) #2458

Closed xyproto closed 3 years ago

xyproto commented 8 years ago

Some browsers supports multicolored glyphs, such as the "COLR/CPAL" format.

When can I use that?

Here is one test: https://pixelambacht.nl/demo/color-font-test.html And here is an article: https://pixelambacht.nl/2014/multicolor-fonts/

Cheers!

Subset of #1018. May be relevant for emoji support. #1522

This isn't a subset of #1018 , it's the exact same thing.

Crissov commented 6 years ago

@tphinney is right unless we treat this issue as limited to COLR/CPAL.

tphinney commented 6 years ago

Well, the request was "such as" not "specifically." Since COLR/CPAL is not the best supported color font format, and as support for the four variant formats is quite different, but ~ similar in extent (although the smart money would be betting on SVG OpenType in the long run), it would be silly for CanIUse to choose to enumerate the COLR/CPAL format without the others, at this time.

Re-purposing this issue to be specifically for COLR/CPAL, subset of #1018

COLR/CPAL is currently compatible with almost all mainstream browsers, which is a very important feature. As Chrome will soon support the COLR v1 specification, it will also support gradients. It is very reasonable that we separately list the compatibility of COLR/CPAL.

I am going to submit a PR for the COLR table

It’s as if things have changed since 2017! No question that COLR/CPAL is the leading color font format. With support for gradients coming, that should cement the lead.

That said, covering color font formats that are not universally supported is as useful as covering those that are nearly so. With SVG color fonts being so widely supported in desktop design apps used for web mockups, web designers may easily be surprised by this dichotomy in support....
