Future ideas

  • Allow for "freezing" OpenType features (see https://twardoch.github.io/fonttools-opentype-feature-freezer/)
  • Autohinting
    • This is tricky because we may need different autohinters for CFF/CFF2 and TrueType outlines
  • Preview the glyphs in a font
  • Preview font features (see https://fontdrop.info/)
    • E.g. for stylistic alternates, use HarfBuzz to optionally gather which characters they apply to
  • Make use of the data in https://github.com/google/fonts/ for font preview text, axis descriptions, etc.
  • Support the new incremental font transfer standard
    • Probably should wait for it to be actually standardized though
  • Use the feature tag info registry more (show explanations of font features)
  • Drop legacy kern table if HarfBuzz doesn't already
  • Use the Google Fonts repo's style tags in the browser
  • Let the user specify names for custom instanced axis values (for instance, instancing opsz to 8, 32 could be 8, 32@'Display' to name the 32pt one "Foo Display")
