I'm working on a font editor, MFEK. I also contribute to Unicode when I can. One of my fonts requires characters in Unicode 14.0. For those reasons, I had to...

Variable font axis setting support

Some modern programming fonts, such as JetBrains Mono, come in variable font format. See . This is cool because it allows fine grained control of how bold you want your...

`packages/svg` can't understand RGB colors expressed in percentage

I commonly use [`cairosvg`](https://github.com/Kozea/CairoSVG) on the command line to clean up SVG files I intend to put into SILE documents. One thing that it does that I need is it...

OpenType FeatureVariations have no effect

This is a bit different than #1182, because this doesn't require instancing or anything—we should still be applying the OT FeatureVariations even without that. I tried this patch to get...

We should have a test that assures that all our examples at least build, if not also checks their output

1

Would prevent future recurrences of bugs in the class of #1226, #1227 and #1228. I consider those a particularly bad class of bug, bugs that break our examples, as when...

[TUI] Kitty graphics protocol support
