Rubik sources #8

@NaN-xyz what version of Rubik sources did you use?

Cause we just merged a UFO version from typenetwork that was pending in googlefonts PRs for a while. In any case, I also find this version not so clean to work within Glyphs (features are not right, missing anchors etc.).

What would you think would be the most efficient: A) create a new clean glyphs source to which we apply all the filters again, B) modify metadata of all Rubik-Filtered existing sources?

NaN-xyz commented 3 years ago

Version 2.1 dated 21/3/2017.

I think the final versions took 3-4 days time to generate on this glyph set with time cleaning up / re-generating unsatisfactory glyphs. Not complicated just laborious.

I would imagine it's quicker to change the metadata if our understandings of metadata are the same :)

SO new version is 2.201 I am not sure if A LOT has changed between the 2 versions, but enough to maybe choose A) strategy. I'll talk about it with my colleagues and get back to you.

NaN-xyz commented 3 years ago

Gotcha.

RosaWagner commented 3 years ago

Ok I need to review anchors stuff… So i'll prepare a brand new glyphs source file for you cause it looks like it would be more efficient than to fix all the filtered fonts

To keep you posted, updating Rubik takes me ages in parallel of other projects but I am almost at the end of it. Be prepare to receive a new source in the next 2 weeks.

NaN-xyz commented 3 years ago

Yes... I wondered what had happened :o) Thanks for the update.

RosaWagner commented 3 years ago

You can find the new Rubik sources here : https://github.com/googlefonts/rubik

We should proceed with gradual steps ^^

Like 1st: adapt the font info to this project, and then when it gets validated, apply the filter. Then we ship this one to GF. Finally, if it gets validated there, we do all the other ones and send everything.

Great news!

I exported the Black master from your latest Rubik file and stripped out the variable-related parameters. Here is a processed Rubik-Beastly .glyphs file. If this is technically ok then I can send over the others. Rubik-Beastly.zip

RosaWagner commented 3 years ago

Okay. I am updating the font info. Do you intend to add other masters ? otherwise I just call the style Regular.

NaN-xyz commented 3 years ago

No - it was only ever planned for the black master.

👍

Ok, I'll send you a PR with how would like to see stuff structured + correct updated font info + build stuff
