COLRv1 pixels? #3

Open davelab6 opened 4 months ago

You may be interested in @simoncozens 's simoncozens/fontpainter to make it possible to color the pixels :)

That certainly sounds interesting! But could you refer me to some concrete steps for implementing this? I couldn't find any documentation in the fontpainter repository.

I think Dave might mean paintcompiler rather than fontpainter (but either would do): paintcompiler is a Python script that can hook into our build process and add a COLRv1 table programmatically based on a Python description of the paints; fontpainter is a kind of Illustrator-like interface to adding COLRv1 paints to a binary TTF file.

Now it all makes sense! I'll take a look at this.
