Contribute CFF Opcode Fonts to Unicode? #4

Open brawer opened 7 years ago

brawer commented 7 years ago

Would you be interested in contributing your cff-opcode-fonts to Unicode’s text rendering tests at https://github.com/unicode-org/text-rendering-tests ? See here to get an idea of current test coverage. The goal of Unicode’s test suite is to make text rendering more reliable across platforms, so your CFF test fonts would make a great addition. If you’re interested in contributing, just make a pull request for adding the font files to the fonts directory. A bot will then ask you to confirm (by clicking a form) that you’re OK with Unicode’s Contributor License Agreement. Once your fonts are part of Unicode’s repo, I’ll gladly set up the test framework so it checks whether the implementation-under-test renders your fonts as expected.

@Pomax, what do you think?

They're public domain. If they're useful in other projects, by all means: use them.

I will, however, never sign CLA that are discriminatory by forcing people to have phones or mailing addresses (heck I don't have a phone so I can't even sign this thing). These kind of CLA are heavily skewed towards "the the well off"and I can't in good conscience agree to them when I know people who own a laptop and a backpack, but don't have a permanent roof over their head. CLAs like this lock out the amazing contributions they can typically bring to projects.

That said, this is why so much of what I produce is public domain, or MIT, or any other license of the "you can take this and use it without my permission" kind: if you've already signed that CLA, or you know someone else who has, you're perfectly welcome to take these fonts and contribute them without my involvement.

The fonts themselves come with this "do whatever you like" information baked into the name table:
