Scaler generated metrics

Open dfrg opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

We need to support metric retrieval in the glyph scaler for the following cases:

  1. Variable fonts that are missing HVAR tables. This requires applying gvar to phantom points to compute side-bearings and advances.
  2. Hinted glyphs with instructions that modify metrics. Similar story wrt to phantom points.

Both cases can occur simultaneously.
