Test italics. #3

Open typesupply opened 2 years ago

typesupply commented 2 years ago

Should the italic angle be used for vertical rays?

JakobFangmeier commented 2 years ago

In my humble opinion it should. Have you seen the show stem thickness tool by Rafał Buchner. I always found his approach really sensible in that it calculated the angle of the nearest vector and used that as a base angle for the line that makes the crossection.

This would definitley be my preferred behaviour for a measurement tool.

Do you have a link to that? I don't think I've seen that.

Here is the repository. I think he fiddled with a version for robofont but gave up on that at some point, or at least never released it.

Hm. I think I understand what it does. That's a different way of measuring than what I use, but it's interesting. I may implement something like that as an option. I opened an issue, #16, to think about it. Thanks for the suggestion!
