Review and merge in data from converted FontLab and Volt files #8

Closed rimas-kudelis closed 1 month ago

rimas-kudelis commented 1 month ago

I have the original working files for Jonova. They contain some data which could not have been extracted from the TTF files I received originally. I've already converted the FontLab files to UFO using vfb3ufo, and I think I should review and merge at least some data from there, such as guidelines and PostScript hints, and maybe some more. I'm currently unsure what I should do with the FontLab ttProgram XML: it probably holds the "source code" for the current TrueType hinting instructions, but whether or not that source code can be useful is unclear to me, since I'm an absolute dummy when it comes to TrueType hinting.

I copied most of the FontLab data that vfb3ufo exported, except FontLab backgrounds for glyphs. As for VOLT, it seems there wasn't much to begin with: It was mostly kerning data, which is in the fonts already.
