Font designers: I wrote a #fonttools tool to generate optimal `avar` weight axis mapping for a variable font. Take it for a spin: github.com/fonttools/font…

@romanshamin_en Now it should work, thanks

@HugoJourdan_ Your DMs seem to be closed

Hey Twitter, Recently, I decided to continue the work of Andre Fuchs on The Ultimate List of Kerning Pairs. He did some very interesting and smart research/analysis for Latin script, but only for Latin. 1/4

I have written a small Python script using fonttools to remove all outlines from a font file but keep all other data. This way, you can safely send me your fonts if you wish to collaborate. DM if your are interested :) 4/4

Therefore, I'm writing this post to ask Cyrillic/Greek type designers/foundries if they would like to collaborate with me to improve the input data. I'm looking for fonts that support the standard (extended is better) glyph sets for each script. 3/4

extending DrawBot with drawBotGrid!!! github.com/mathieureguer/… by @mathieureguer

@SignalType @BlazeFoundry @glyphsapp Thanks ! :) From Plugin Manager > Script > Hugo Jourdan

If you are tired of looking for scripts to remove/delete/clear things, say hello to "CleanMyGlyphs" 🧹✨ @glyphsapp

@hhpapazian I planned to contact a native for each script, and you were on my list. I will send you an e-mail next week with more information.

@HugoJourdan_ Feel free to ping me for Armenian stuff. (Consulting with natives is key.)

I'm working on a huge project to build PDFs to learn how to design a specific script. Here is the v0.1 for Cyrillic. #script #drawbot #typedesign #learning #python

@rmfrt Always ! 💪🏼

@HugoJourdan_ With Drawbot? 😏

Building tools to analyse glyphs outlines is something really satisfying 🤖🪄

Glyph Inspector v2, using @drawbotapp Fully automated 🙃

Adding Vertical Metrics and improve global design.

I'm thinking about learning to design Cyrillic Script. I coded a DrawBot script to compare Latin and Cyrillic Forms and show outlines and widths diffs. Do you think an approach like this could be useful ?

Adding more references from Google Fonts, and an average value of width diff.

It is more convenient to compare different fonts on the same page for each pair comparison.

@romanshamin_en @contrastfoundry @TypeTodayNews Of course. For now I'm only using Google Font that support Cyrillic. @contrastfoundry @TypeTodayNews if you are agree to send some font file to add them, it will be a pleasure.

@HugoJourdan_ One more thing. I believe for the research like this, it’s important to carefully pick the source data. I recommend picking the typefaces that were made by experts in Cyrillic, like @contrastfoundry and @TypeTodayNews.
