Pull in VTT data before renaming glyphs to production names #700

Open madig opened 1 year ago

madig commented 1 year ago

Is there a way to do this? Our designers use VTT on TTFs with designer names, but gfbuilder seems to rename the glyphs first before pulling in VTT data. This loses hinting. We can rename the glyphs to prodcution names in the VTT dumps, but that's wrong and I don't want to do it.

Unfortunately there isn't a way to do this atm. We apply VTT hinting after the fonts have been generated.

Yes. In our build system, we wait with post processing after everything else is done.
