Adds a modified version of the variable font for RedHat.com #39

Closed zhawkins closed 3 years ago

zhawkins commented 3 years ago

RedHat.com uses a range (but not all) of the font weights available.

Font weight	Used by RedHat.com
RedHatDisplay-Black	✅
RedHatDisplay-Bold	✅
RedHatDisplay-Medium	✅
RedHatDisplay-Regular	✅
RedHatDisplay-Light	🚫
RedHatText-Bold	🚫
RedHatText-Medium	✅
RedHatText-Regular	✅
RedHatText-Light	🚫

To support variable fonts, which do not let us map a weight to a specific font, we need to modify the variable font files.

These modified files are located at ./source/Proportional/VF.

Modified-RedHatDisplayItalicVF.designspace
Modified-RedHatDisplayVF.designspace
Modified-RedHatTextItalicVF.designspace
Modified-RedHatTextVF.designspace

This allows us to compile modified versions of RedHatDisplay and RedHatText.

Original fonts are available via ./font.css

Modified fonts are available via ./red-hat-font.css
