### 4.39.1
```
----------------------------
- [avar2] Added experimental support for reading/writing avar version 2 as specified in
this draft proposal: https://github.com/harfbuzz/boring-expansion-spec/blob/main/avar2.md

```
### 4.39.0
```
----------------------------
- [mtiLib] Optionally add `Debg` debug info for MTI feature builds (3018).
- [ttx] Support reading input file from standard input using special `-` character,
similar to existing `-o -` option to write output to standard output (3020).
- [cython] Prevent ``cython.compiled`` raise AttributeError if cython not installed
properly (3017).
- [OS/2] Guard against ZeroDivisionError when calculating xAvgCharWidth in the unlikely
scenario no glyph has non-zero advance (3015).
- [subset] Recompute xAvgCharWidth independently of --no-prune-unicode-ranges,
previously the two options were involuntarily bundled together (3012).
- [fontBuilder] Add ``debug`` parameter to addOpenTypeFeatures method to add source
debugging information to the font in the ``Debg`` private table (3008).
- [name] Make NameRecord `__lt__` comparison not fail on Unicode encoding errors (3006).
- [featureVars] Fixed bug in ``overlayBox`` (3003, 3005).
- [glyf] Added experimental support for cubic bezier curves in TrueType glyf table, as
outlined in glyf v1 proposal (2988):
https://github.com/harfbuzz/boring-expansion-spec/blob/main/glyf1-cubicOutlines.md
- Added new qu2cu module and related qu2cuPen, the reverse of cu2qu for converting
TrueType quadratic splines to cubic bezier curves (2993).
- [glyf] Added experimental support for reading and writing Variable Composites/Components
as defined in glyf v1 spec proposal (2958):
https://github.com/harfbuzz/boring-expansion-spec/blob/main/glyf1-varComposites.md.
- [pens]: Added `addVarComponent` method to pen protocols' base classes, which pens can implement
to handle varcomponents (by default they get decomposed) (2958).
- [misc.transform] Added DecomposedTransform class which implements an affine transformation
with separate translate, rotation, scale, skew, and transformation-center components (2598)
- [sbix] Ensure Glyph.referenceGlyphName is set; fixes error after dumping and
re-compiling sbix table with 'dupe' glyphs (2984).
- [feaLib] Be cleverer when merging chained single substitutions into same lookup
when they are specified using the inline notation (2150, 2974).
- [instancer] Clamp user-inputted axis ranges to those of fvar (2959).
- [otBase/subset] Define ``__getstate__`` for BaseTable so that a copied/pickled 'lazy'
object gets its own OTTableReader to read from; incidentally fixes a bug while
subsetting COLRv1 table containing ClipBoxes on python 3.11 (2965, 2968).
- [sbix] Handle glyphs with "dupe" graphic type on compile correctly (2963).
- [glyf] ``endPointsOfContours`` field should be unsigned! Kudos to behdad for
spotting one of the oldest bugs in FT. Probably nobody has ever dared to make
glyphs with more than 32767 points... (2957).
- [feaLib] Fixed handling of ``ignore`` statements with unmarked glyphs to match
makeotf behavior, which assumes the first glyph is marked (2950).
- Reformatted code with ``black`` and enforce new code style via CI check (2925).
- [feaLib] Sort name table entries following OT spec prescribed order in the builder (2927).
- [cu2quPen] Add Cu2QuMultiPen that converts multiple outlines at a time in
interpolation compatible way; its methods take a list of tuples arguments
that would normally be passed to individual segment pens, and at the end it
dispatches the converted outlines to each pen (2912).
- [reverseContourPen/ttGlyphPen] Add outputImpliedClosingLine option (2913, 2914,
2921, 2922, 2995).
- [gvar] Avoid expanding all glyphs unnecessarily upon compile (2918).
- [scaleUpem] Fixed bug whereby CFF2 vsindex was scaled; it should not (2893, 2894).
- [designspaceLib] Add DS.getAxisByTag and refactor getAxis (2891).

- [woff2] Support encoding/decoding OVERLAP_SIMPLE glyf flags (2576, 2884).
- [instancer] Update OS/2 class and post.italicAngle when default moved (L4)
- Dropped support for Python 3.7 which reached EOL, fontTools requires 3.8+.
- [instancer] Fixed instantiateFeatureVariations logic when a rule range becomes
default-applicable (2737, 2880).
- [ttLib] Add main to ttFont and ttCollection that just decompile and re-compile the
input font (2869).
- [featureVars] Insert 'rvrn' lookup at the beginning of LookupList, to work around bug
in Apple implementation of 'rvrn' feature which the spec says it should be processed
early whereas on macOS 10.15 it follows lookup order (2140, 2867).
- [instancer/mutator] Remove 'DSIG' table if present.
- [svgPathPen] Don't close path in endPath(), assume open unless closePath() (2089, 2865).
```
### 4.38.0
```
----------------------------
- [varLib.instancer] Added support for L4 instancing, i.e. moving the default value of
an axis while keeping it variable. Thanks Behdad! (2728, 2861).
It's now also possible to restrict an axis min/max values beyond the current default
value, e.g. a font wght has min=100, def=400, max=900 and you want a partial VF that
only varies between 500 and 700, you can now do that.
You can either specify two min/max values (wght=500:700), and the new default will be
set to either the minimum or maximum, depending on which one is closer to the current
default (e.g. 500 in this case). Or you can specify three values (e.g. wght=500:600:700)
to specify the new default value explicitly.
- [otlLib/featureVars] Set a few Count values so one doesn't need to compile the font
to update them (2860).
- [varLib.models] Make extrapolation work for 2-master models as well where one master
is at the default location (2843, 2846).
Add optional extrapolate=False to normalizeLocation() (2847, 2849).
- [varLib.cff] Fixed sub-optimal packing of CFF2 deltas by no longer rounding them to
integer (2838).
- [scaleUpem] Calculate numShorts in VarData after scale; handle CFF hintmasks (2840).
```
### 4.37.4
```
----------------------------
- [subset] Keep nameIDs used by CPAL palette entry labels (2837).
- [varLib] Avoid negative hmtx values when creating font from variable CFF2 font (2827).
- [instancer] Don't prune stat.ElidedFallbackNameID (2828).
- [unicodedata] Update Scripts/Blocks to Unicode 15.0 (2833).
```
### 4.37.3
```
----------------------------
- Fix arguments in calls to (glyf) glyph.draw() and drawPoints(), whereby offset wasn't
correctly passed down; this fix also exposed a second bug, where lsb and tsb were not
set (2824, 2825, adobe-type-tools/afdko1560).
```
### 4.37.2
```
----------------------------
- [subset] Keep CPAL table and don't attempt to prune unused color indices if OT-SVG
table is present even if COLR table was subsetted away; OT-SVG may be referencing the
CPAL table; for now we assume that's the case (2814, 2815).
- [varLib.instancer] Downgrade GPOS/GSUB version if there are no more FeatureVariations
after instancing (2812).
- [subset] Added ``--no-lazy`` to optionally load fonts eagerly (mostly to ease
debugging of table lazy loading, no practical effects) (2807).
- [varLib] Avoid building empty COLR.DeltaSetIndexMap with only identity mappings (2803).
- [feaLib] Allow multiple value record types (by promoting to the most general format)
within the same PairPos subtable; e.g. this allows variable and non variable kerning
rules to share the same subtable. This also fixes a bug whereby some kerning pairs
would become unreachable while shapiong because of premature subtable splitting (2772, 2776).
- [feaLib] Speed up ``VarScalar`` by caching models for recurring master locations (2798).
- [feaLib] Optionally cythonize ``feaLib.lexer``, speeds up parsing FEA a bit (2799).
- [designspaceLib] Avoid crash when handling unbounded rule conditions (2797).
- [post] Don't crash if ``post`` legacy format 1 is malformed/improperly used (2786)
- [gvar] Don't be "lazy" (load all glyph variations up front) when TTFont.lazy=False (2771).
- [TTFont] Added ``normalizeLocation`` method to normalize a location dict from the
font's defined axes space (also known as "user space") into the normalized (-1..+1)
space. It applies ``avar`` mapping if the font contains an ``avar`` table (2789).
- [TTVarGlyphSet] Support drawing glyph instances from CFF2 variable glyph set (2784).
- [fontBuilder] Do not error when building cmap if there are zero code points (2785).
- [varLib.plot] Added ability to plot a variation model and set of accompaning master
values corresponding to the model's master locations into a pyplot figure (2767).
- [Snippets] Added ``statShape.py`` script to draw statistical shape of a glyph as an
ellips (requires pycairo) (baecd88).
- [TTVarGlyphSet] implement drawPoints natively, avoiding going through
SegmentToPointPen (2778).
- [TTVarGlyphSet] Fixed bug whereby drawing a composite glyph multiple times, its
components would shif; needed an extra copy (2774).
```
### 4.37.1
```
----------------------------
- [subset] Fixed regression introduced with v4.37.0 while subsetting the VarStore of
``HVAR`` and ``VVAR`` tables, whereby an ``AttributeError: subset_varidxes`` was
thrown because an apparently unused import statement (with the side-effect of
dynamically binding that ``subset_varidxes`` method to the VarStore class) had been
accidentally deleted in an unrelated PR (2679, 2773).
- [pens] Added ``cairoPen`` (2678).
- [gvar] Read ``gvar`` more lazily by not parsing all of the ``glyf`` table (2771).
- [ttGlyphSet] Make ``drawPoints(pointPen)`` method work for CFF fonts as well via
adapter pen (2770).
```
### 4.37.0
```
----------------------------
- [varLib.models] Reverted PR 2717 which added support for "narrow tents" in v4.36.0,
as it introduced a regression (2764, 2765). It will be restored in upcoming release
once we found a solution to the bug.
- [cff.specializer] Fixed issue in charstring generalizer with the ``blend`` operator
(2750, 1975).
- [varLib.models] Added support for extrapolation (2757).
- [ttGlyphSet] Ensure the newly added ``_TTVarGlyphSet`` inherits from ``_TTGlyphSet``
to keep backward compatibility with existing API (2762).
- [kern] Allow compiling legacy kern tables with more than 64k entries (d21cfdede).
- [visitor] Added new visitor API to traverse tree of objects and dispatch based
on the attribute type: cf. ``fontTools.misc.visitor`` and ``fontTools.ttLib.ttVisitor``. Added ``fontTools.ttLib.scaleUpem`` module that uses the latter to
change a font's units-per-em and scale all the related fields accordingly (2718,
2755).
```
### 4.36.0
```
----------------------------
- [varLib.models] Use a simpler model that generates narrower "tents" (regions, master
supports) whenever possible: specifically when any two axes that actively "cooperate"
(have masters at non-zero positions for both axes) have a complete set of intermediates.
The simpler algorithm produces fewer overlapping regions and behaves better with
respect to rounding at the peak positions than the generic solver, always matching
intermediate masters exactly, instead of maximally 0.5 units off. This may be useful
when 100% metrics compatibility is desired (2218, 2717).
- [feaLib] Remove warning when about ``GDEF`` not being built when explicitly not
requested; don't build one unconditonally even when not requested (2744, also works
around 2747).
- [ttFont] ``TTFont.getGlyphSet`` method now supports selecting a location that
represents an instance of a variable font (supports both user-scale and normalized
axes coordinates via the ``normalized=False`` parameter). Currently this only works
for TrueType-flavored variable fonts (2738).
```
### 4.35.0
```
----------------------------
- [otData/otConverters] Added support for 'biased' PaintSweepGradient start/end angles
to match latest COLRv1 spec (2743).
- [varLib.instancer] Fixed bug in ``_instantiateFeatureVariations`` when at the same
time pinning one axis and restricting the range of a subsequent axis; the wrong axis
tag was being used in the latter step (as the records' axisIdx was updated in the
preceding step but looked up using the old axes order in the following step) (2733,
2734).
- [mtiLib] Pad script tags with space when less than 4 char long (1727).
- [merge] Use ``'.'`` instead of ``''`` in duplicate glyph names (2742).
- [gvar] Added support for lazily loading glyph variations (2741).
- [varLib] In ``build_many``, we forgot to pass on ``colr_layer_reuse`` parameter to
the ``build`` method (2730).
- [svgPathPen] Add a main that prints SVG for input text (6df779fd).
- [cffLib.width] Fixed off-by-one in optimized values; previous code didn't match the
code block above it (2963fa50).
- [varLib.interpolatable] Support reading .designspace and .glyphs files (via optional
``glyphsLib``).
- Compile some modules with Cython when available and building/installing fonttools
from source: ``varLib.iup`` (35% faster), ``pens.momentsPen`` (makes
``varLib.interpolatable`` 3x faster).
- [feaLib] Allow features to be built for VF without also building a GDEF table (e.g.
only build GSUB); warn when GDEF would be needed but isn't requested (2705, 2694).
- [otBase] Fixed ``AttributeError`` when uharfbuzz < 0.23.0 and 'repack' method is
missing (32aa8eaf). Use new ``uharfbuzz.repack_with_tag`` when available (since
uharfbuzz>=0.30.0), enables table-specific optimizations to be performed during
repacking (2724).
- [statisticsPen] By default report all glyphs (4139d891). Avoid division-by-zero
(52b28f90).
- [feaLib] Added missing required argument to FeatureLibError exception (2693)
- [varLib.merge] Fixed error during error reporting (2689). Fixed undefined
``NotANone`` variable (2714).

Thanks Behdad! (2728, 2861). It's now also possible to restrict an axis min/max values beyond the current default value, e.g. a font wght has min=100, def=400, max=900 and you want a partial VF that only varies between 500 and 700, you can now do that. You can either specify two min/max values (wght=500:700), and the new default will be set to either the minimum or maximum, depending on which one is closer to the current default (e.g. 500 in this case). Or you can specify three values (e.g. wght=500:600:700) to specify the new default value explicitly. - [otlLib/featureVars] Set a few Count values so one doesn't need to compile the font to update them (2860). - [varLib.models] Make extrapolation work for 2-master models as well where one master is at the default location (2843, 2846).

It applies ``avar`` mapping if the font contains an ``avar`` table (2789). - [TTVarGlyphSet] Support drawing glyph instances from CFF2 variable glyph set (2784). - [fontBuilder] Do not error when building cmap if there are zero code points (2785). - [varLib.plot] Added ability to plot a variation model and set of accompaning master values corresponding to the model's master locations into a pyplot figure (2767). - [Snippets] Added ``statShape.py`` script to draw statistical shape of a glyph as an ellips (requires pycairo) (baecd88). - [TTVarGlyphSet] implement drawPoints natively, avoiding going through SegmentToPointPen (2778). - [TTVarGlyphSet] Fixed bug whereby drawing a composite glyph multiple times, its components would shif; needed an extra copy (2774). ``` ### 4.37.1 ``` ---------------------------- - [subset] Fixed regression introduced with v4.37.0 while subsetting the VarStore of ``HVAR`` and ``VVAR`` tables, whereby an ``AttributeError: subset_varidxes`` was thrown because an apparently unused import statement (with the side-effect of dynamically binding that ``subset_varidxes`` method to the VarStore class) had been accidentally deleted in an unrelated PR (2679, 2773). - [pens] Added ``cairoPen`` (2678). - [gvar] Read ``gvar`` more lazily by not parsing all of the ``glyf`` table (2771). - [ttGlyphSet] Make ``drawPoints(pointPen)`` method work for CFF fonts as well via adapter pen (2770). ``` ### 4.37.0 ``` ---------------------------- - [varLib.models] Reverted PR 2717 which added support for "narrow tents" in v4.36.0, as it introduced a regression (2764, 2765). It will be restored in upcoming release once we found a solution to the bug. - [cff.specializer] Fixed issue in charstring generalizer with the ``blend`` operator (2750, 1975). - [varLib.models] Added support for extrapolation (2757). - [ttGlyphSet] Ensure the newly added ``_TTVarGlyphSet`` inherits from ``_TTGlyphSet`` to keep backward compatibility with existing API (2762). - [kern] Allow compiling legacy kern tables with more than 64k entries (d21cfdede). - [visitor] Added new visitor API to traverse tree of objects and dispatch based on the attribute type: cf. ``fontTools.misc.visitor`` and ``fontTools.ttLib.ttVisitor``. Added ``fontTools.ttLib.scaleUpem`` module that uses the latter to change a font's units-per-em and scale all the related fields accordingly (2718, 2755). ``` ### 4.36.0 ``` ---------------------------- - [varLib.models] Use a simpler model that generates narrower "tents" (regions, master supports) whenever possible: specifically when any two axes that actively "cooperate" (have masters at non-zero positions for both axes) have a complete set of intermediates. The simpler algorithm produces fewer overlapping regions and behaves better with respect to rounding at the peak positions than the generic solver, always matching intermediate masters exactly, instead of maximally 0.5 units off. This may be useful when 100% metrics compatibility is desired (2218, 2717). - [feaLib] Remove warning when about ``GDEF`` not being built when explicitly not requested; don't build one unconditonally even when not requested (2744, also works around 2747). - [ttFont] ``TTFont.getGlyphSet`` method now supports selecting a location that represents an instance of a variable font (supports both user-scale and normalized axes coordinates via the ``normalized=False`` parameter). Currently this only works for TrueType-flavored variable fonts (2738). ``` ### 4.35.0 ``` ---------------------------- - [otData/otConverters] Added support for 'biased' PaintSweepGradient start/end angles to match latest COLRv1 spec (2743). - [varLib.instancer] Fixed bug in ``_instantiateFeatureVariations`` when at the same time pinning one axis and restricting the range of a subsequent axis; the wrong axis tag was being used in the latter step (as the records' axisIdx was updated in the preceding step but looked up using the old axes order in the following step) (2733, 2734). - [mtiLib] Pad script tags with space when less than 4 char long (1727). - [merge] Use ``'.'`` instead of ``''`` in duplicate glyph names (2742). - [gvar] Added support for lazily loading glyph variations (2741). - [varLib] In ``build_many``, we forgot to pass on ``colr_layer_reuse`` parameter to the ``build`` method (2730). - [svgPathPen] Add a main that prints SVG for input text (6df779fd). - [cffLib.width] Fixed off-by-one in optimized values; previous code didn't match the code block above it (2963fa50). - [varLib.interpolatable] Support reading .designspace and .glyphs files (via optional ``glyphsLib``). - Compile some modules with Cython when available and building/installing fonttools from source: ``varLib.iup`` (35% faster), ``pens.momentsPen`` (makes ``varLib.interpolatable`` 3x faster). - [feaLib] Allow features to be built for VF without also building a GDEF table (e.g. only build GSUB); warn when GDEF would be needed but isn't requested (2705, 2694). - [otBase] Fixed ``AttributeError`` when uharfbuzz < 0.23.0 and 'repack' method is missing (32aa8eaf). Use new ``uharfbuzz.repack_with_tag`` when available (since uharfbuzz>=0.30.0), enables table-specific optimizations to be performed during repacking (2724). - [statisticsPen] By default report all glyphs (4139d891). Avoid division-by-zero (52b28f90). - [feaLib] Added missing required argument to FeatureLibError exception (2693) - [varLib.merge] Fixed error during error reporting (2689). Fixed undefined ``NotANone`` variable (2714). ```Links
