Separate out italics in variable font #53

Closed rben01 closed 9 months ago

rben01 commented 9 months ago

The ital axis is notoriously tricky to work with in browsers (depending on the browser, it requires font-synthesis: 1 and/or font-variation-settings: "ital" 1). It'd be handy to have the ital = 1 version of the variable font split out into a separate file for ease of use in browsers.

The purpose of the variable font is to have it all in one file. I won't be changing this at the moment. I will consider it if it's a wish from multiple people.

Consider loading the font with 2 different @font-faces if you can't make font-variation-settings: "ital" 1 work.

Ok. In the meantime I will subset manually using this: https://fonttools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_modules/fontTools/varLib/instancer.html
