[avar2] varStoreOffset -> itemVariationStoreOffset

2

Just a minor comment, suggesting changing the field name in the [avar2 table](/harfbuzz/boring-expansion-spec/blob/main/avar2.md) from _varStoreOffset_ to _itemVariationStoreOffset_ for the sake of consistency and clarity. AFAICT all other ItemVariationStore tables are...

[avar2] Issue where macOS and iOS mishandle avar2 table: fixed?

3

This issue came up soon after I presented avar2 in this [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7unMVZOcaw) (~registered users only~ public) / [deck](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1jLiUvh4PoYz2sw0T0Fygj2HoMrBhmJQuGgAmoMc_Sns/edit#slide=id.p) (public).

Tidying up other tables

Do we want to tidy up fields that are for no good reason spread among various existing tables? For example, these fields in `post` feel better in a font metrics...

Clarify relationship between the 'grad' proposal here and the 'grad' proposal in the TypeNetwork repo

1

Currently two different `grad` axis proposals appear in search results: * the [`grad` proposal](https://github.com/microsoft/OpenTypeDesignVariationAxisTags/blob/master/Proposals/TypeNetwork_ParametricAxes/ProposalSummary_grad.md) here in the [Microsoft/OpenTypeDesignVariationAxisTags repo](https://github.com/microsoft/OpenTypeDesignVariationAxisTags) * the [`grad` proposal](https://github.com/TypeNetwork/Opentype-1.8-Axis-Proposal/blob/gh-pages/proposal/Grade/ProposalSummary.md) in the [TypeNetwork/Opentype-1.8-Axis-Proposal](https://github.com/TypeNetwork/Opentype-1.8-Axis-Proposal). The latter is more...

Clarify WOFF2 header majorVersion and minorVersion

8

In the [WOFF File Format 2.0](https://www.w3.org/TR/WOFF2/) we find the following field definitions in the WOFF2 Header: > UInt16 majorVersion: Major version of the WOFF file. UInt16 minorVersion: Minor version of...

In the [WOFF File Format 2.0](https://www.w3.org/TR/WOFF2/) the section that describes decoding of bounding boxes would benefit from its own subheading to distinguish it from the "Decoding of Composite Glyphs" section...

designspaceLib: Allow a epsilon value which nudges an xvalue attribute by +1 or -1 (normalized int16)

9

It will be convenient to allow designspace locations in a given dimension to be specified in terms of the smallest possible offset from a given value. There is such a...

When testing complex variable fonts, such as parametric fonts of many dimensions, it can be difficult to know which axes will have any effect on a glyph. Highlighting such axes...
