ET Book OT 2.0 #9

Closed dpk closed 3 years ago

dpk commented 4 years ago

Convert again from the PS Type 1 sources, this time to UFO format instead of FontForge's proprietary binary
Specify OT rules with external .fea files instead of the FontForge GUI for increased transparency and maintainability
Build fonts with AFDKO instead of FontForge
Make TTF, WOFF(1&2), and OTF files available

Try to ensure all metrics etc are the same in the new font as the originals (cf #7)

I tried ufo-extractor on the Roman OSF Type 1 font and it seemed to work. Most of the glyphs have Adobe-style glyph names too, which is good — of the ones I checked, only the ligatures were wrong (they need to be e.g. f_f_i not ffi).

Now have a branch and a milestone for this project; closing.
