Closed davelab6 closed 6 years ago

davelab6 commented 7 years ago

I'm filing this issue to track work on the blended End User masters/axes,

davelab6 commented 6 years ago

The width axis at min seems to be very widely spaced:

opsz is set to its (current) max value, 36

In checking https://github.com/TypeNetwork/Roboto-Delta/blob/4ed1eb488bf395a1a9d853da7f3c2ea75ecf8e83/fonts/RobotoDelta-VF.ttf it seems the weight axis from 100 to 400 has no effect

I am seeing the correct behavior at all sizes in Chrome.

Also, I'd like to note how useless this apparatus is for comments. I have comments on the first two issues raised there, but its a hell box for what ever comes up.

The masters for the blended axes are still up for me to review and are only sketches, waiting for OPSZ Regular approval, after which spacing, overshoots and any exceptional contrasts in the blended axes are modified.

This has always been the plan and reviewing any styles beyond OPSZ Regular, is putting the cart before the horse.

Thanks.

@davelab6 just committed a repaired VF with a functioning light end. Sorry about that (one commented out line in the build script ;-)

We need to do a review and will also look at cond spacing. Will keep you posted when that reviewed version is ready.

Sorry I wasn't clear; I was not testing the version preloaded in the site but the then very latest version @djrrb posted that had to be drag'n'dropped to check it.

I was merely pointing out that what used to work no longer worked.

I can see that opening a new issue just for this and getting it closed quickly may have been a better approach. Will do that if there's a next time :)

I agree to only comment on opsz and will get that to you all asap

dberlow commented 6 years ago

Dave, I was not testing the pre-loaded version...

sberlow commented 6 years ago

I am closing this as the build script includes all axes, blended and parametric. Review of spacing will be in a new issue.
