v1.10.0
-
Added new
--no-optimize-gvar
to disable performing IUP-delta optimization when building TrueType variable fonts. -
When building variable font, apply the
postscriptNames
glyph renaming after the variable font has been built, instead of on the master TTFs. This allows to use human-readable glyph names in DesignSpace<rules>
(fonttools/fonttools#1349, #551, googlefonts/ufo2ft#332). -
Fixed issue with MutatorMath incorrectly "bending" masters' and instances' locations when DesignSpace axes contain
<map>
elements. If you used fontmake-i
option to interpolate static instances from either Glyphs or DesignSpace inputs (and your DesignSpace axes contained any<map>
elements), it is recommended that you upgrade fontmake and regenerate the instances (#552, LettError/MutatorMath#168). -
GlyphsLib v4.0.0 changed the way the width axis is exported to DesignSpace: if no
Axis Location
custom parameters are present, the user-space locations of the masters and the axis minimum/default/maximum are inferred from OS/2 widthClass of the instances. This makes sure that the static instances and the variable font's instances produced from the same source file have the width class. The change modifies the generated variable font'sfvar
andavar
tables. If you generated variable fonts withwdth
axis from Glyphs input, make sure you check this out. You can read more in the glyphsLib v4.0.0 release notes, and at googlefonts/glyphsLib#483. -
