Anirban Mitra :verified:My How-to on creating color variable fonts using Free / Libre tools such as <a href="https://typo.social/@fontra" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@fontra</a> and <a href="https://typo.social/tags/fontTools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fontTools</a> <a href="https://youtu.be/ccLsHdmHByQ" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/ccLsHdmHByQ</a>

Jens KutílekI've been trying to figure out what <a href="https://typo.social/tags/FontLab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FontLab</a> 5 does under the title of “Matrix Multiplication”. The <a href="https://typo.social/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Python</a> docs tell us “Matrix - class to represent planar transformations” and then just say “Matrix(a, b, c, d, e, f) - creates a Matrix and assigns coordinates from float numbers” … Now those matrices are supposed to represent transformations somehow. My knowledge from <a href="https://typo.social/tags/FontTools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FontTools</a> says that a “Transform” with six values is xx, xy, yx, yy, dx, dy, with the identity transform being 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0.

Edgar WalthertToday I had a call with Andreas Nymark <a href="https://mastodon.xyz/@andreasnymark" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@andreasnymark</a> about his Kirby <a href="https://mastodon.social/@getkirby" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@getkirby</a> foundry plug-in <a href="https://typo.social/@Fountain" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Fountain</a>. What I have seen is really promising and exciting! A lot of automated processes thanks to <a href="https://typo.social/tags/FontTools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FontTools</a> implementation. Like subsetting, trial fonts or <a href="https://typo.social/tags/woff2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#woff2</a> conversion.You can sign up for his newsletter to stay in the loop: <a href="https://fountain.nymarktype.co" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://fountain.nymarktype.co</a>

n8 Doesn't follow you 🇺🇦I'm 100% focused on looking for a full-time job, but separately I sorta also wish I could get a funded project where I just write complete documentation for <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FontTools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FontTools</a> & several key related library modules until they're all done. Haven't found a way to put that together, though.
