<Garret> +present
<Vlad> scribenick: Persa_Zula
Vlad: 3 week long break from last
call; touch base on progress
... Vlad's action item is to identify composite TTF (deep
level, unusual ) fonts, traditionally for device manufacturers
for E. Asia support within Monotype
... enable testing account for w3c. Online system is very
strict for font metadata. Importing the fonts into the online
system is going to take some rework of the metadata. Side
effect is that they only were able to import a few fonts for
our testing purposes
... Asked Kamal to help with unusual layout features /
complexity would be needed to test. Noto family is a good
candidate for a first target. Is working on a new font with a
record number of layout tricks that could be a good
canididate
... Gave us a live demo via screenshare of UN Declaration of
Rights in Urdu which shows off some of the feature
complexity
Garret: Update
... working on dataset - it has multiple segments of text of a
page with sequences of pagewalks collected from across the
web
... getting permission to share results, and to share the
dataset itself. Looking for good news here in the future
... on analysis side - finished a few items -- codepoint
remapping has PR open for it.
... harfbuzz subsetting support - steady and good progress -
most of gdef subsetting implemented
... harfbuzz - item varition stores in gdef to finish. and more
gpos and gdef to implement more broadly
... support most "typical" fonts
... also working on language breakdown on dataset so we can do
individual languages in the analysis. would be nice to be able
to see performance diffs between languages
Vlad: For sergey's benefit, who has been following the mailing list, do you want a brief update of general direction?
sergeym: only if useful for others
Vlad: will send links to
documents which have been shared in the past to Sergey to give
more context
... do you see the potential end date for when we can use the
analysis framework?
Garret: if you have data, it's usable today. has been running it internally. they have numbers back but have to get permission to share the results from the data they used for analysis. hoping to share something by end of march
Vlad: where are we with pagewalk sequences?
<jpamental> @sergeym This is a post I wrote introducing what we've been working on last year: https://rwt.io/typography-tips/progressive-font-enrichment-reinventing-web-font-performance
Garret: with incremental fonts,
we want to model the behavior as a user uses the internet
thorough the day. dataset of realistic representation. source a
dataset from Google to do this internally. Trying to get
permission to share anon version of data
... want to get permission to share both the analysis results
and the data that produced the results
... if you have your own internal data, you can use it
today
... ran some of the tests on the data from Adobe
... want to be able to do a comparison between the two
datasets
Vlad: looking through emails
trying to find the reference email of all docs to share, will
look more offline, to get all the references in one
place.
... Jason, any updates from you?
jpamental: Been working on a
project for the GFonts team for a while that went live after
the launch of their new UI.
... its' a VFont education website
... variablefonts.io is the site and it's gotten a lot of nice
attention so far
... will be adding more to that website over time; starter kits
to use the GFonts API, and get used to VFonts in general
... gathering case studies with projects that have been
launching so we can give people real world metrics for
performance and asseccibility
... playing with dark mode and different axes by grade - to
show by doing
... whenever the GFonts team has caught up, hopefully they'll
give it a mention too
Vlad: do we have any other
business or updates?
... when do we think we should meet next?
Garret: maybe a few more weeks?
Vlad: we'll do March 30 and
update the due date on action items
... if you have anything to share, please use group email
list
... if something changes and we have a need for an earlier
call, we can do it earlier
... stay happy, healthy, and social distance :)
