nan-xyz / rubik-filtered Goto Github PK

• Fontmake doesn't support the custom parameters as "Replace feature", "Rename glyphs" etc. It has to be done at source.
• We shouldn't keep transformed components

Add:

• OFL.txt
• AUTHORS.txt
• CONTRIBUTORS.txt

Rename:

• Statics to fonts (with no caps)
• sources at root

@NaN-xyz what version of Rubik sources did you use?

Cause we just merged a UFO version from typenetwork that was pending in googlefonts PRs for a while.
In any case, I also find this version not so clean to work within Glyphs (features are not right, missing anchors etc.).

What would you think would be the most efficient: A) create a new clean glyphs source to which we apply all the filters again, B) modify metadata of all Rubik-Filtered existing sources?

• I would go for Copyright 2020 The Rubik Filtered Project Authors (https://github.com/NaN-xyz/Rubik-Filtered) and make sure original designer are credited in AUTHORS.txt. But I am actually not sure. Will confirm with @davelab6.

• In License and License URL font info: https://scripts.sil.org/OFL

Should contain at least:

• Description of the family and process
• Images
• Link to Glyphs Filters

With VF versions teased on Twitter, I thought I'd start a discussion here about what the axis should be tagged, labelled, and ranged (min/def/max) as.

I'm guessing there are 2 options.

(A) Do what is shown in the tweets, and use the wght axis, but range them 400/400/700, Regular to Bold.

(B) Do custom axes for each. Eg

• https://twitter.com/nan_xyz_/status/1364294567860838404 HAIR 0 0 100
• https://twitter.com/nan_xyz_/status/1364522913240670209 BUBL 0 0 100
• https://twitter.com/nan_xyz_/status/1367117326382940162 SIFI 0 0 100

I think (A) probably makes sense, but I'm guessing it might vary. The Bubbles one looks perfectly normal as a weight axis. The hairy one looks pasable. The Sci Fi one is more questionable, and I could see that related to the Type Network Parametric Axes System, and split with anisomorphic filters into X Opaque and Y Opaque axes, eg XOSF and YOSF :)

So I can ship fonts to GF
