Now that I've been looking at the relevant fontTools code in the hope of mimicking its effects, I might be able to say a bit about this. Broadly speaking I...
We should decide how this should work. Since otfautohint can now hint glyphs with overlap we can probably just run that algorithm and then the stemhist stuff and there would...
I think this is basically fixed. By default, when hinting a VF we process the glyphs to remove overlap, use that glyph to extract candidate stems, and then back-map those...
I think that syntax just amounts to an implicit "by NULL".
Yes, I looked at the code and this is treated the same as if there was an explicit "by NULL", so I think it's OK.
I guess the first question is whether putting in an explicit "by NULL" changes the outcome. If it doesn't, then it's more or less expected. If it does change the...
> however some of the results (only the first item of a group is replaced) are surprising. Yes, this seems like it's a bug (assuming it's something we can fix,...
Hmm. This sort of got linked in my head with #1687 as part of a more general functionality. Unfortunately that other problem is a bit trickier. This is not a...
This looks like a good extension to the syntax and we will likely add it. For now the addition seems lower priority than the ongoing VF-related work, so it will...
Seems fine to me. Any chance of moving some of the booleanOperations stuff forward while we're looking at things?
