Only one font format
A discussion in December 2018 on Typedrawers regarding the need to have just one font format, in an era in which we have OTF, TTF, CFF, woff (TTF based), woff (CFF based), woff2 (TTF based), woff2 (CFF based), variable opentype, and color fonts. The conclusion is that the proliferation of rasterizers and applications makes this a complicated problem. Belleve Invis has a wish list though, should they invent a universal format: plain interpretation without programming languages, high-level hinting, B-splines for kinkless interpolation, sub-glyph component sharing, and per-glyph variation. |
