Design issues

[vv-monsalve]

Google Fonts Latin Plus coverage

• [x] Design all the glyphs required in the GF Latin Plus encoding
• [x] Create all the comb marks as mentioned below
• [x] Leave only the compound glyphs (e.g. adblgrave) marked in dark grey as pending to be created using the components

---

Diacritics

• [x] Please ensure the definitive design is adjusted in the combining marks, so they will be ready to create the compound glyphs.
• [x] Once the definitive design is ensured in the comb marks Legacy marks, delete the legacy marks and add them back so they are made using the comb marks as components.
• [x] Diacritics need to be balanced (in weight, size, contrast) and matching the style of the typeface design.
• [x] Adjust the vertical position using glyphs app locked guidelines. The position shouldn't change between master Regular and medium
• [x] Ensure related marks are consistent between them, e.g. caron and circumflex
• [x] Caron.alt need to have the alternate shape used in Ľ Slovak On page 30 of this document you can find detailed info around the vertical Caron.
• [x] Leave a 0 sidebearings value for the marks

Glyphs

• [x] The ampersand and Eng need to be consistent (in size and style) with the font. See RUSerius as reference
• [x] The German Double SS need to be fixed. This article is a good reference

I've completed all of the tasks with the exception of item two of the diacritics. Unfortunately, I came to this task after the combination marks were completed and those combination marks are components of the legacy marks. In the future I will perform this task first. Let me know if this is not satisfactory and I will rework all of the marks.

In the future I will perform this task first.

Ok, leave them as they are now for this project and we'll take care of that, but yes, please do it for all the further cases/projects. Thanks

@crystaltype Additionally to check for the same fixes needed in Birthstone, please ensure the Stylistic Sets and OT features are ok.

Hi @RobLeuschke, after the last QA checks for Birthstone Bounce, some connections need a final revision/refinement, particularly bs si ns. Please take the latest file in DropBox to inspect/solve them. While doing this, you might want to give Birthstone Pro an eye too. There is an updated source file for it also.

Thanks

The connections have been issues have been resolved. Ligatures for the b_s and o_l glyphs have been created and programmed to resolve those connection anomalies.
