Roboto-min next hinted build #45

Closed dberlow closed 4 years ago

dberlow commented 4 years ago

After #42 and #44 are corrected, and we get a better idea of what’s needed for #43, there will be another build.

While this is going on, Mike is making sure the optimizations to crossbars and other details are performed on small caps and other target glyphs, and researching possible file size optimization.

Marc has also requested a build chain for this project of similar quality to the original Roboto repo where the variable font can be built with a single command. I am looking into this and will post a new issue on it shortly. With that, I hope the next build can illustrate what can and can’t be the same for a variable font, that works from a single command for a family of fonts.

Thanks, David Berlow

Mike,

https://github.com/TypeNetwork/Roboto/blob/master/fonts/Roboto-min-VF.ttf

..has the new unhinted version we are looking to merge your hints into.

Let me know if there's any issues.

mikedug commented 4 years ago

hints are now merged, VTT sources and ship font updated.

Can we start to think about how we're going to do this hint transfer automatically? we cannot have Mike manually transferring the hints every time we make an update.

DaMa has vttLib which we may want to use.

Same applies to dropping the MVAR table.

Marc,

Thanks for your concern. We have thinking about automation every time we do anything on this project since the issue was first raised.

Thanks for the link to the vtt lib model. I’m traveling today to New York to visit Google and have a conference call later on this topic with Santiago and Mike.

Cheers David
