Checking for CFF2 font #71

Open NightFurySL2001 opened 3 years ago

NightFurySL2001 commented 3 years ago

Is there any plans to support checking for CFF2 fonts according to Microsoft OpenType Documentation?

Pomax commented 3 years ago

note: those are the OpenType documentation, it's just hosted by microsoft (both as site, and as github repo).

(so: right link, wrong name for it)

It seems similar enough to CFF so probably can re-use much of the current CFF related code. If you have a sample file, or know of a source, please attach / write here.

Thanks. I was trying to check Source Han Sans (https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-han-sans) which was released as a Variable CFF2 font the past few days. That might be a really good font to be stress-testing with as it is the best quality CJK open source font until now.

There are also a few repository to test CFF2 fonts from Adobe from this discussion:
