Intro

A brief intro on how font works. More in detail demos on OpenType font file structure. Will explore topics like:

What does a font file do exactly? How does our computer use fonts.
What does a .ttf file contains.
How can I config the Ligatures, Kerning and other advanced typographic features.

I'm inspired when I was trying to dump an SVG of number out of Sketch. Turns out export function in Sketch will only give you a plain text with the font set as a style attribute in SVG. I can only use OpenType.js to dump the real paths and insert it into an SVG file.

So this talk is to find out how OpenType works.
