convert to quadratic? #79

Closed jpt closed 3 months ago

jpt commented 2 years ago

this could solve some kinks in the interpolated vectors along the width axis, I think? (make going from flat to round easier)? am I deluding myself in thinking quadratic solves this?

jpt commented 2 years ago

does fontmake round-trip to PS and back, or something like that? I feel like I read that in a repo somewhere..

(and then of course there's #10)

answer is no for those (me) following along.

I've redrawn the glyphs another way to remove the kinks from the interpolation

currently barlow is not very stable at all in between axes hence all the brace layers. I was able to get rid of a bunch of them with this
