Work with unencoded glyphs? #5

Closed davelab6 closed 6 years ago

davelab6 commented 7 years ago

From email,

The tool only looks at encoded glyphs.

I think its important to check unencoded glyphs for regressions too...

m4rc1e commented 7 years ago

I totally agree. It's just very very hard to do.

Since most unencoded glyphs are accessed by opentype features. I'll have to write an OT parser to access them. This will be added in the future.

davelab6 commented 7 years ago

What about opentype.js to grab them directly?

Also, evil suggestion, maybe impractical: https://github.com/googlefonts/fontbakery/issues/388

@davelab6 I do not like puas.

I will study otLib in fontTools and see what I can do. Unfortunately, due to my other commitments, this is near the back of the queue. I agree its needed.

Will be solved if #35 gets merged
