Add SMuFL Compliance Level to Metadata #211

Open magasek opened 2 years ago

magasek commented 2 years ago

Problem Statement: As additional features are added to the SMuFL specification with each successive version, the consequence is that we will see more SMuFL fonts "in-the-wild" which were created conforming to older versions of the spec, and as such do not support all of the latest features. As a developer working on notation solutions, I need to know the SMuFL version that any given font conforms to so I know which SMuFL features I can utilize to delight my customers with the best possible experience.

Proposal: Add a required field to the metadata file indicating the version of the SMuFL specification that the font conforms to.

(This is actually the one I thought was a good idea and was surprising we hadn't chosen to do it earlier.)
