- Small metrics errors in Latin glyphs
- Errors in PS hint replacement in all files containing PostScript outlines
4.2.2:
- [subset] Fixed issue with subsetting FeatureVariations table when the index
of features changes as features get dropped. The feature index need to be
remapped to point to index of the remaining features.
- [fontBuilder] Added `addFeatureVariations` method to `FontBuilder` class. This
is a shorthand for calling `featureVars.addFeatureVariations` on the builder's
TTFont object.
- [glyf] Fixed the flags bug in glyph.drawPoints() like we did for glyph.draw()
4.2.1:
- [glyf] Use the ``flagOnCurve`` bit mask in ``glyph.draw()``, so that we ignore
the ``overlap`` flag that may be set when instantiating variable fonts.
4.2.0:
- [pens] Added the following pens:
* ``roundingPen.RoundingPen``: filter pen that rounds coordinates and components'
offsets to integer;
* ``roundingPen.RoundingPointPen``: like the above, but using PointPen protocol.
* ``filterPen.FilterPointPen``: base class for filter point pens;
* ``transformPen.TransformPointPen``: filter point pen to apply affine transform;
* ``recordingPen.RecordingPointPen``: records and replays point-pen commands.
- [ttGlyphPen] Always round float coordinates and component offsets to integers
.
- [ufoLib] When converting kerning groups from UFO2 to UFO3, avoid confusing
groups with the same name as one of the glyphs
4.1.0:
- [instancer] Implemented restricting axis ranges (level 3 partial instancing).
You can now pass ``{axis_tag: (min, max)}`` tuples as input to the
``instantiateVariableFont`` function. Note that changing the default axis
position is not supported yet. The command-line script also accepts axis ranges
in the form of colon-separated float values, e.g. ``wght=400:700``.
- [instancer] Never drop STAT ``DesignAxis`` records, but only prune out-of-range
``AxisValue`` records.
- [otBase/otTables] Enforce that VarStore.RegionAxisCount == fvar.axisCount, even
when regions list is empty to appease OTS < v8.0.
- [designspaceLib] Defined new ``processing`` attribute for ``<rules>`` element,
with values "first" or "last", plus other editorial changes to DesignSpace
specification. Bumped format version to 4.1.
- [varLib] Improved error message when masters' glyph orders do not match
- [featureVars] Allow to specify custom feature tag in ``addFeatureVariations``;
allow said feature to already exist, in which case we append new lookup indices
to existing features. Implemented ``<rules>`` attribute ``processing`` according to
DesignSpace specification update in. Depending on this flag, we generate
either an 'rvrn' (always processed first) or a 'rclt' feature (follows lookup order,
therefore last).
- [ttCollection] Added support for context manager auto-closing via ``with`` statement
like with ``TTFont``.
- [unicodedata] Require unicodedata2 >= 12.1.0.
- [py2.py3] Removed yet more PY2 vestiges.
- [_n_a_m_e] Fixed issue when comparing NameRecords with different string types.
- [fixedTools] Changed ``fixedToFloat`` to not do any rounding but simply return
``value / (1 << precisionBits)``. Added ``floatToFixedToStr`` and
``strToFixedToFloat`` functions to be used when loading from or dumping to XML.
Fixed values (e.g. fvar axes and instance coordinates, avar mappings, etc.) are
are now stored as un-rounded decimal floats upon decompiling.
- [feaLib] Fixed handling of multiple ``LigatureCaret`` statements for the same glyph.
Only the first rule per glyph is used, additional ones are ignored.
4.0.2:
- [voltLib] Added support for ``ALL`` and ``NONE`` in ``PROCESS_MARKS``.
- [Silf] Fixed issue in ``Silf`` table compilation and decompilation regarding str vs
bytes in python3.
- [merge] Handle duplicate glyph names better: instead of appending font index to
all glyph names, use similar code like we use in ``post`` and ``CFF`` tables.
4.0.1:
- [otTables] Support fixing offset overflows in ``MultipleSubst`` lookup subtables
- [subset] Prune empty strikes in ``EBDT`` and ``CBDT`` table data.
- [pens] Fixed issue in ``PointToSegmentPen`` when last point of closed contour has
same coordinates as the starting point and was incorrectly dropped.
- [Graphite] Fixed ``Sill`` table output to pass OTS.
- [name] Added ``removeNames`` method to ``table__n_a_m_e`` class.
- [ttLib] Added aliases for renamed entries ``ascender`` and ``descender`` in
``hhea`` table.
4.0.0:
- NOTE: The v4.x version series only supports Python 3.6 or greater. You can keep
using fonttools 3.x if you need support for Python 2.
- [py23] Removed all the python2-only code since it is no longer reachable, thus
unused; only the Python3 symbols were kept, but these are no-op. The module is now
DEPRECATED and will removed in the future.
- [ttLib] Fixed UnboundLocalError for empty loca/glyph tables. Also, allow
the glyf table to be incomplete when dumping to XML.
- [varLib.models] Fixed KeyError while sorting masters and there are no on-axis for
a given axis (38a8eb0e).
- [cffLib] Make sure glyph names are unique.
- [feaLib] Fix feature parser to correctly handle octal numbers

traditional static font files.
- Improvements to /backslash glyph
v3.10
@rsms rsms released this Sep 7, 2019 · 35 commits to master since this release

v3.9
@rsms rsms released this Aug 7, 2019 · 58 commits to master since this release
Fixes an issue with metadata where Medium, Semi Bold, and Extra Bold would
incorrectly be marked as “italic” which would confuse certain software.
v3.8
@rsms rsms released this Aug 5, 2019 · 62 commits to master since this release
- Possibly breaking change: Variable italic axis (really, slnt axis) has been
inverted (negated) — a negative value causes the text to lean rightwards.
This is only a breaking change if you are using the multi-axis variable
font (Inter.var) and define slant angle using high-level CSS properties
like font-style. This change was done to comply with the convention defined
in the OpenType spec. #175#172
- Variable font files are now significantly smaller thanks to #171 and #169
□ Inter.var.woff2 v3.7: 393kB, v3.8: 306kB
□ Inter-upright.var.woff2 v3.7: 267kB, v3.8: 224kB
□ All this while v3.8 introduces a whole new set of glyphs, kerning and
feature code.
- Adds several new glyphs, like double-stemmed arrows and enclosed
alphanumerics & symbols
□ Warning sign #168
□ Copyleft symbol #165
□ Really long arrows, useful in ligatures like --->
□ Arrows with double-lined stems, useful for “assign to”, with ligatures
defined for some combinations with equals, e.g. =>
□ Enclosed glyphs in circles and squares
- Fixes a bug where U+0430 Cyrillic lower-case a would not be substituted for
a single-storey “a” with cv11 enabled. #179
- Fixes a bug with slant of Ͽ (U+03FF) #170#169
- Some calt code has moved to liga (standard ligatures), specifically arrow
ligatures. Automatic case alignment is still kept in calt. So, you can now
disable calt to disable only case alignment, and disable liga to only
disable arrow ligatures.
- Improvements to kerning, spacing and letterform details
- Improved Microsoft Windows installation instructions #173
v3.7
@rsms rsms released this May 31, 2019 · 103 commits to master since this

fitted incorrectly by ClearType on Microsoft Windows #119
- Fixes an issue with using case and calt features in combination where arrow
combinations like -> would not be substituted by arrow glyphs #161
- Fixes an issue with rightArrow of bolder weights in italic #154
- Adjusts the glyph width of "bullet" to be exactly two "space" glyphs wide,
allowing easy ad-hoc list creation with wrapping lines
- Improved kerning for a.1 (alternate single-storey "a")
v3.5
@rsms rsms released this Apr 2, 2019 · 139 commits to master since this release
This is a very small incremental change from v3.4 that mainly contains improved
metrics metadata for some macOS applications, improving vertical alignment.

family name, useful for producing variable font files with a different name
than the constant files so they can be installed alongside each other.
Closes#144
- 20aaab6 Change version encoding in font files to match common zero-padded

Overview of changes leading to 2.6.2
Monday, September 30, 2019
====================================
- Misc small fixes, mostly to build-related issues.
If the base fontconfig is old, and some but not all fontconfig-using
packages need newer, we end up with some binaries having two different
fontconfigs. Adjust fontconfig's API_DEPENDS to 2.11.91, because
pango needs at least that. This means that pkgsrc fontconfig will
always be used on netbsd-8.
The only sound approach appears to be a hard choice of system vs
pkgsrc fontconfig, without per-package overrides, but that's a bigger
step. We could also consider changing API_DEPENDS to match the pkgsrc
fontconfig, so base is only used if newer.
(Needs a revbump.)
As discussed on tech-pkg.
ChangeLog:
- Add link to instructions on how to enable bitmap fonts support on Ubuntu
- Add a Makefile target to generate a specimen file
- Add full support for the Braille Patterns Unicode block
- Add light box drawings characters for the 16x32 and 32x64 versions

- Character at position D6 is 'O' with diaeresis, not with tilde (12x24 version)
- Character at position DC is 'U' with diaeresis, not with tilde (12x24 version)
- Fix tilde alignment in the 'o' with tilde character (32x64 version)
- Fix middle bar thickness in the upper case 'eth' character (12x24 version)
- Fix ring alignment for the 'A' and 'a' characters (16x32 and 32x64 versions)
- Remove strain pixel on the '3' and 'k' characters (32x64 version)
- Remove fillers for characters other than ISO 8859-1 ones (5x8 version)

Along with the usual bugfixes, there have been a couple of new features worth calling out:
Added Croatian translation
Added user decompositions
New graphic for the splash/about screen
Images embedded in SFDs are now serialised as PNGs
This is enabled by default, but may be turned off with the 'WritePNGInSFD' option.
A new tag is used to identify this mode; 'Image2', instead of 'Image'
This requires FontForge to be compiled with libpng support. If not compiled with libpng, FontForge will revert to the old method of serialising RLE encoded raw images.
As part of an ongoing effort to clean up the code base, there have additionally been multiple build system changes:
Python 2 support is deprecated. It is strongly recommended to build with Python 3 support. Python 2 support will be removed in a future release.
Both the Windows and Mac builds are now built with Python 3 instead of Python 2.
The minimum supported version for the Mac build is now MacOS Sierra (10.12)
FontForge no longer uses gnulib
collab support has been removed
The build system now expects libuninameslist to be present, and will fail if it is not found. Building without libuninameslist must be explcititly specified using --without-libuninameslist
