Add Chaumont Script

[RosaWagner]

Font Project Git Repo URL: https://github.com/AlexandreBassi0/ChaumontScript/tree/main

Super short description of the Font Family: Timothée Gouraud (Fabrication Maison) discovered in 2016 the work of Chantal Jacquet, sign painter in Chaumont (Haute-Marne, France) in the 1980s. Intigued by these singular shapes, he contacted ANRT to design a digital font out of it. A complex task, achieved by Alexandre Bassi, who managed to transcribe the rythm and cursivity of this script, through a extended character set (2500 glyphs) and complex OpenType Features.

Requirements:

I understand that Google Fonts will publish only fonts that matches its requirements, and I can confirm the project meets them (by ticking the cases, or putting x between the square brackets in text mode):

• [x] The entire font project is licensed under the OFL
• [x] There is no "Reserved Font Name" mention in the OFL license
• [x] Family name is unique according to namecheck.fontdata.com
• [x] The font supports at least GF Latin Core glyphset
• [x] The repository respect the upstream repo structure
• [x] The source files are available in the repository
• [x] I read, agree and comply with the full contributing requirements
• [x] I am the author of the font or the author agreed to this submission
• [x] I will maintain the repository (@AlexandreBassi0, the designer will)

Spend a moment with the designer to set up a repo and see what's remain to do on the font:

• font relies mostly on rlig which should be supported by the API (to confirm)
• only 4 missing glyphs
• designer gonna use the summer to read the guide and correct metadata etc
• the problem we have with this font is the extensive use of smart components that glyphsLib still doesn't support (https://github.com/googlefonts/glyphsLib/issues/927)

Adding to Icebox based on this comment:

We will need to add to the onboarding queue when the development work is complete.
