Well, then it seems like the question is how it works when the relevant feature is "partially" rather than "completely" sparse, or I guess alternatively whether this mechanism would be...

BTW I hope for Google's sake that they're good for this. I think we're up to 2 pennies now.

Maybe we should talk in specifics. Suppose we have something like ``` feature kern { pos [a b] [c d] 40; } kern; ``` in the default master and ```...

"one variable kern feature" and "one kern feature per master" are what Adobe has internally been calling the centralized and distributed models, respectively. Until recently we were going down the...

It seems like in this situation the tool already knows: 1. That it is processing a variable font 2. That the default location, and therefore the kerning data for it,...
