@anthrotype Thanks!
@m4rc1e should this be merged?
@davelab6 yep
Any updates on this?
@kyrias thanks for your interest; since Q4 2017, we've been working on a few different ways to upgrade Roboto to the now not so new variable font technology, and this got postponed by that. I see no harm in merging it now for posterity :)
Previous tagged releases have included a hinted version of Roboto. This version is generated by using
scripts/touchup_for_web.py
only.For further information see #261
I'm fairly certain touchup_for_web.py was used because the old v2.136 hinted fonts have the same vertical metric values as this script sets. No other touchup script sets vertical metric values.
v2.136 Roboto-Regular.ttf:
Values from script
