@larsenwork:

What we have now

Fontname: Monoid-Oblique-Tight
Family Name: Monoid
Name for Humans: Monoid Oblique Tight

What I think is preferable

Fontname: Monoid-Tight-Oblique
Family Name: Monoid Tight
Name for Humans: Monoid Tight Oblique

Easiest is ignoring the base font's Font/Full name entirely. New Family Name: {Base Family} {Variation} New Full Name: {Base Family} {Variation} {Base Subfamily/Style} {Options} New Font Name: {Base Family}-{Variation}-{Base Subfamily/Style}-{Options}

This will take about 3 hours of effort to rewrite, so I probably won't get this done this weekend.

Ah didn't see this before commenting on: https://github.com/larsenwork/monoid/issues/50#issuecomment-122649248 No stress

I don't think the options should be in the font name though, or? 99% will download one version (options) and use that and adding the options to the font name will create really long names.

New Family Name: {Base Family} {Variation}
New Full Name:   {Base Family} {Variation} {Base Subfamily/Style}
New Font Name:   {Base Family}-{Variation}-{Base Subfamily/Style}

Probably a better idea that way, now that I think about it. Shame I didn't have a lot of time this weekend, especially since you've gained so many more stars! Who knows, maybe one of them can pitch in a patch before me :+1:

*we've gained so many more stars :wink: You're also forgetting to update the fontlog when you add stuff...

chase commented 9 years ago

True... I just feel like my work on the CI is never done, so it isn't worthy of having a version number yet :stuck_out_tongue:

larsenwork commented 9 years ago

Things doesn't have to have a version number to be in the log though :)
