v3.000: Support variable fonts #43

Closed m4rc1e closed 5 years ago

I've been working on this for the past two months. Micah, Eli and Mike have been using it frequently so I think we've found most of the major issues.

Atm, it can't use a font's width axis (same as GF). I hope to have this in place once we know what values to use, https://github.com/google/fonts/issues/1706

I'm also not updating www.gf-regression.com until I have the following in place:

Even by making these updates, the hardware it currently runs on isn't sufficient anymore. I would prefer people to use fontdiffenator instead, especially since it will be able to generate diff images soon. My current setup is to use the new GFR instance with diffbrowsers and fontdiffenator.
