@fontra @justvanrossum Impressive!
The multi sources editing I know from @fontlab 8, but your implementation is way smarter with the selection of different layers.
Next up: Hinting? 🙏

TypeLab – Typographics 2025

The TypeLab at Typographics 2025 will host a series of informal workshops, demos, interviews, experiments, and more. TypeLab events will be a split across multiple days and platforms, with a combination of in-person events in New York and online events around the globe.

I'm doing an online @fontra demo today at 22:00 CEST, in the Europe track of @Typographics' TypeLab.

Does anyone have a suggestion of an exceptionally complex font that I could use for a part of the demo? Think of very complex outlines, very complex designspace, many glyphs. (OT features not so much.) Let me know if you have something you can share with me, or know of something available online.

Introducing: kerning editing. Basic functionality is there, more will follow.

Join @justvanrossum at TypeLab / @Typographics this Thursday, June 26, at 22:00 CEST, for an hour of Fontra demo and discussion.
