[varLib.iup] Added workaround for a Cython bug in ``iup_delta_optimize`` that was leading to IUP tolerance being incorrectly initialised, resulting in sub-optimal deltas (60126435d, cython/cython#5732). - [varLib] Added new command-line entry point ``fonttools varLib.avar`` to add an ``avar`` table to an existing VF from axes mappings in a .designspace file (0a3360e52). - [instancer] Fixed bug whereby no longer used variation regions were not correctly pruned after VarData optimization (#3268). -

Published native binary wheels to PyPI for all the python minor versions and platform and architectures currently supported that would benefit from this. They will include precompiled Cython-accelerated modules (e.g. cu2qu) without requiring to compile them from source. The pure-python wheel and source distribution will continue to be published as always (pip will automatically chose them when no binary wheel is available for the given platform, e.g. pypy). Use ``pip install --no-binary=fonttools fonttools`` to expliclity request pip to install from the pure-python source. - [designspaceLib|varLib] Add initial support for specifying axis mappings and build ``avar2`` table from those (#3123). - [feaLib] Support variable ligature caret position (#3130). - [varLib|glyf] Added option to --drop-implied-oncurves; test for impliable oncurve points either before or after rounding (#3146, #3147, #3155, #3156). - [TTGlyphPointPen] Don't error with empty contours, simply ignore them (#3145). - [sfnt] Fixed str vs bytes remnant of py3 transition in code dealing with de/compiling WOFF metadata (#3129). - [instancer-solver] Fixed bug when moving default instance with sparse masters (#3139, #3140). - [feaLib] Simplify variable scalars that don’t vary (#3132). - [pens] Added filter pen that explicitly emits closing line when lastPt != movePt (#3100). - [varStore] Improve optimize algorithm and better document the algorithm (#3124, #3127). Added ``quantization`` option (#3126). - Added CI workflow config file for building native binary wheels (#3121). - [fontBuilder] Added glyphDataFormat=0 option; raise error when glyphs contain cubic outlines but glyphDataFormat was not explicitly set to 1 (#3113, #3119). - [subset] Prune emptied GDEF.MarkGlyphSetsDef and remap indices; ensure GDEF is subsetted before GSUB and GPOS (#3114, #3118). - [xmlReader] Fixed issue whereby DSIG table data was incorrectly parsed (#3115, #2614). - [varLib/merger] Fixed merging of SinglePos with pos=0 (#3111, #3112). - [feaLib] Demote "Feature has not been defined" error to a warning when building aalt and referenced feature is empty (#3110). - [feaLib] Dedupe multiple substitutions with classes (#3105). 4.39.4 (released 2023-05-10) ---------------------------- - [varLib.interpolatable] Allow for sparse masters (#3075) - [merge] Handle differing default/nominalWidthX in CFF (#3070) - [ttLib] Add missing main.py file to ttLib package (#3088) - [ttx] Fix missing composite instructions in XML (#3092) - [ttx] Fix split tables option to work on filenames containing '%' (#3096) - [featureVars] Process lookups for features other than rvrn last (#3099) - [feaLib] support multiple substitution with classes (#3103) 4.39.3 (released 2023-03-28) ---------------------------- - [sbix] Fixed TypeError when compiling empty glyphs whose imageData is None, regression was introduced in v4.39 (#3059). - [ttFont] Fixed AttributeError on python <= 3.10 when opening a TTFont from a tempfile SpooledTemporaryFile, seekable method only added on python 3.11 (#3052). 4.39.2 (released 2023-03-16) ---------------------------- - [varLib] Fixed regression introduced in 4.39.1 whereby an incomplete 'STAT' table would be built even though a DesignSpace v5 did contain 'STAT' definitions (#3045, #3046). 4.39.1 (released 2023-03-16) ---------------------------- - [avar2] Added experimental support for reading/writing avar version 2 as specified in this draft proposal: https://github.com/harfbuzz/boring-expansion-spec/blob/main/avar2.md - [glifLib] Wrap underlying XML library exceptions with GlifLibError when parsing GLIFs, and also print the name and path of the glyph that fails to be parsed (#3042). - [feaLib] Consult avar for normalizing user-space values in ConditionSets and in VariableScalars (#3042, #3043). - [ttProgram] Handle string input to Program.fromAssembly() (#3038). - [otlLib] Added a config option to emit GPOS 7 lookups, currently disabled by default because of a macOS bug (#3034). - [COLRv1] Added method to automatically compute ClipBoxes (#3027). - [ttFont] Fixed getGlyphID to raise KeyError on missing glyphs instead of returning None.

Kudos to behdad for spotting one of the oldest bugs in FT. Probably nobody has ever dared to make glyphs with more than 32767 points... (#2957). - [feaLib] Fixed handling of ``ignore`` statements with unmarked glyphs to match makeotf behavior, which assumes the first glyph is marked (#2950). - Reformatted code with ``black`` and enforce new code style via CI check (#2925). - [feaLib] Sort name table entries following OT spec prescribed order in the builder (#2927). - [cu2quPen] Add Cu2QuMultiPen that converts multiple outlines at a time in interpolation compatible way; its methods take a list of tuples arguments that would normally be passed to individual segment pens, and at the end it dispatches the converted outlines to each pen (#2912). - [reverseContourPen/ttGlyphPen] Add outputImpliedClosingLine option (#2913, #2914, #2921, #2922, #2995). - [gvar] Avoid expanding all glyphs unnecessarily upon compile (#2918). - [scaleUpem] Fixed bug whereby CFF2 vsindex was scaled; it should not (#2893, #2894). - [designspaceLib] Add DS.getAxisByTag and refactor getAxis (#2891). - [unicodedata] map Zmth<->math in ot_tag_{to,from}_script (#1737, #2889). - [woff2] Support encoding/decoding OVERLAP_SIMPLE glyf flags (#2576, #2884). - [instancer] Update OS/2 class and post.italicAngle when default moved (L4) - Dropped support for Python 3.7 which reached EOL, fontTools requires 3.8+. - [instancer] Fixed instantiateFeatureVariations logic when a rule range becomes default-applicable (#2737, #2880). - [ttLib] Add main to ttFont and ttCollection that just decompile and re-compile the input font (#2869). - [featureVars] Insert 'rvrn' lookup at the beginning of LookupList, to work around bug in Apple implementation of 'rvrn' feature which the spec says it should be processed early whereas on macOS 10.15 it follows lookup order (#2140, #2867). - [instancer/mutator] Remove 'DSIG' table if present. - [svgPathPen] Don't close path in endPath(), assume open unless closePath() (#2089, #2865). 4.38.0 (released 2022-10-21) ---------------------------- - [varLib.instancer] Added support for L4 instancing, i.e. moving the default value of an axis while keeping it variable. Thanks Behdad! (#2728, #2861). It's now also possible to restrict an axis min/max values beyond the current default value, e.g. a font wght has min=100, def=400, max=900 and you want a partial VF that only varies between 500 and 700, you can now do that. You can either specify two min/max values (wght=500:700), and the new default will be set to either the minimum or maximum, depending on which one is closer to the current default (e.g. 500 in this case). Or you can specify three values (e.g. wght=500:600:700) to specify the new default value explicitly. - [otlLib/featureVars] Set a few Count values so one doesn't need to compile the font to update them (#2860). - [varLib.models] Make extrapolation work for 2-master models as well where one master is at the default location (#2843, #2846). Add optional extrapolate=False to normalizeLocation() (#2847, #2849). - [varLib.cff] Fixed sub-optimal packing of CFF2 deltas by no longer rounding them to integer (#2838). - [scaleUpem] Calculate numShorts in VarData after scale; handle CFF hintmasks (#2840). 4.37.4 (released 2022-09-30) ---------------------------- - [subset] Keep nameIDs used by CPAL palette entry labels (#2837). - [varLib] Avoid negative hmtx values when creating font from variable CFF2 font (#2827). - [instancer] Don't prune stat.ElidedFallbackNameID (#2828). - [unicodedata] Update Scripts/Blocks to Unicode 15.0 (#2833). 4.37.3 (released 2022-09-20) ---------------------------- - Fix arguments in calls to (glyf) glyph.draw() and drawPoints(), whereby offset wasn't correctly passed down; this fix also exposed a second bug, where lsb and tsb were not set (#2824, #2825, adobe-type-tools/afdko#1560). 4.37.2 (released 2022-09-15) ---------------------------- - [subset] Keep CPAL table and don't attempt to prune unused color indices if OT-SVG table is present even if COLR table was subsetted away; OT-SVG may be referencing the CPAL table; for now we assume that's the case (#2814, #2815). - [varLib.instancer] Downgrade GPOS/GSUB version if there are no more FeatureVariations after instancing (#2812). - [subset] Added ``--no-lazy`` to optionally load fonts eagerly (mostly to ease debugging of table lazy loading, no practical effects) (#2807). - [varLib] Avoid building empty COLR.DeltaSetIndexMap with only identity mappings (#2803). - [feaLib] Allow multiple value record types (by promoting to the most general format) within the same PairPos subtable; e.g. this allows variable and non variable kerning rules to share the same subtable. This also fixes a bug whereby some kerning pairs would become unreachable while shapiong because of premature subtable splitting (#2772, #2776). - [feaLib] Speed up ``VarScalar`` by caching models for recurring master locations (#2798). - [feaLib] Optionally cythonize ``feaLib.lexer``, speeds up parsing FEA a bit (#2799). - [designspaceLib] Avoid crash when handling unbounded rule conditions (#2797). - [post] Don't crash if ``post`` legacy format 1 is malformed/improperly used (#2786) - [gvar] Don't be "lazy" (load all glyph variations up front) when TTFont.lazy=False (#2771). - [TTFont] Added ``normalizeLocation`` method to normalize a location dict from the font's defined axes space (also known as "user space") into the normalized (-1..+1) space. It applies ``avar`` mapping if the font contains an ``avar`` table (#2789). - [TTVarGlyphSet] Support drawing glyph instances from CFF2 variable glyph set (#2784). - [fontBuilder] Do not error when building cmap if there are zero code points (#2785). - [varLib.plot] Added ability to plot a variation model and set of accompaning master values corresponding to the model's master locations into a pyplot figure (#2767). - [Snippets] Added ``statShape.py`` script to draw statistical shape of a glyph as an ellips (requires pycairo) (baecd88). - [TTVarGlyphSet] implement drawPoints natively, avoiding going through SegmentToPointPen (#2778). - [TTVarGlyphSet] Fixed bug whereby drawing a composite glyph multiple times, its components would shif; needed an extra copy (#2774). 4.37.1 (released 2022-08-24) ---------------------------- - [subset] Fixed regression introduced with v4.37.0 while subsetting the VarStore of ``HVAR`` and ``VVAR`` tables, whereby an ``AttributeError: subset_varidxes`` was thrown because an apparently unused import statement (with the side-effect of dynamically binding that ``subset_varidxes`` method to the VarStore class) had been accidentally deleted in an unrelated PR (#2679, #2773). - [pens] Added ``cairoPen`` (#2678). - [gvar] Read ``gvar`` more lazily by not parsing all of the ``glyf`` table (#2771). - [ttGlyphSet] Make ``drawPoints(pointPen)`` method work for CFF fonts as well via adapter pen (#2770). 4.37.0 (released 2022-08-23) ---------------------------- - [varLib.models] Reverted PR #2717 which added support for "narrow tents" in v4.36.0, as it introduced a regression (#2764, #2765). It will be restored in upcoming release once we found a solution to the bug. - [cff.specializer] Fixed issue in charstring generalizer with the ``blend`` operator (#2750, #1975). - [varLib.models] Added support for extrapolation (#2757). - [ttGlyphSet] Ensure the newly added ``_TTVarGlyphSet`` inherits from ``_TTGlyphSet`` to keep backward compatibility with existing API (#2762). - [kern] Allow compiling legacy kern tables with more than 64k entries (d21cfdede). - [visitor] Added new visitor API to traverse tree of objects and dispatch based on the attribute type: cf. ``fontTools.misc.visitor`` and ``fontTools.ttLib.ttVisitor``. Added ``fontTools.ttLib.scaleUpem`` module that uses the latter to change a font's units-per-em and scale all the related fields accordingly (#2718, #2755). 4.36.0 (released 2022-08-17) ---------------------------- - [varLib.models] Use a simpler model that generates narrower "tents" (regions, master supports) whenever possible: specifically when any two axes that actively "cooperate" (have masters at non-zero positions for both axes) have a complete set of intermediates. The simpler algorithm produces fewer overlapping regions and behaves better with respect to rounding at the peak positions than the generic solver, always matching intermediate masters exactly, instead of maximally 0.5 units off. This may be useful when 100% metrics compatibility is desired (#2218, #2717). - [feaLib] Remove warning when about ``GDEF`` not being built when explicitly not requested; don't build one unconditonally even when not requested (#2744, also works around #2747). - [ttFont] ``TTFont.getGlyphSet`` method now supports selecting a location that represents an instance of a variable font (supports both user-scale and normalized axes coordinates via the ``normalized=False`` parameter). Currently this only works for TrueType-flavored variable fonts (#2738). 4.35.0 (released 2022-08-15) ---------------------------- - [otData/otConverters] Added support for 'biased' PaintSweepGradient start/end angles to match latest COLRv1 spec (#2743). - [varLib.instancer] Fixed bug in ``_instantiateFeatureVariations`` when at the same time pinning one axis and restricting the range of a subsequent axis; the wrong axis tag was being used in the latter step (as the records' axisIdx was updated in the preceding step but looked up using the old axes order in the following step) (#2733, #2734). - [mtiLib] Pad script tags with space when less than 4 char long (#1727). - [merge] Use ``'.'`` instead of ``'#'`` in duplicate glyph names (#2742). - [gvar] Added support for lazily loading glyph variations (#2741). - [varLib] In ``build_many``, we forgot to pass on ``colr_layer_reuse`` parameter to the ``build`` method (#2730). - [svgPathPen] Add a main that prints SVG for input text (6df779fd). - [cffLib.width] Fixed off-by-one in optimized values; previous code didn't match the code block above it (2963fa50). - [varLib.interpolatable] Support reading .designspace and .glyphs files (via optional ``glyphsLib``). - Compile some modules with Cython when available and building/installing fonttools from source: ``varLib.iup`` (35% faster), ``pens.momentsPen`` (makes ``varLib.interpolatable`` 3x faster). - [feaLib] Allow features to be built for VF without also building a GDEF table (e.g. only build GSUB); warn when GDEF would be needed but isn't requested (#2705, 2694). - [otBase] Fixed ``AttributeError`` when uharfbuzz < 0.23.0 and 'repack' method is missing (32aa8eaf). Use new ``uharfbuzz.repack_with_tag`` when available (since uharfbuzz>=0.30.0), enables table-specific optimizations to be performed during repacking (#2724). - [statisticsPen] By default report all glyphs (4139d891). Avoid division-by-zero (52b28f90). - [feaLib] Added missing required argument to FeatureLibError exception (#2693) - [varLib.merge] Fixed error during error reporting (#2689). Fixed undefined ``NotANone`` variable (#2714). 4.34.4 (released 2022-07-07) ---------------------------- - Fixed typo in varLib/merger.py that causes NameError merging COLR glyphs containing more than 255 layers (#2685). 4.34.3 (released 2022-07-07) ---------------------------- - [designspaceLib] Don't make up bad PS names when no STAT data (#2684) 4.34.2 (released 2022-07-06) ---------------------------- - [varStore/subset] fixed KeyError exception to do with NO_VARIATION_INDEX while subsetting varidxes in GPOS/GDEF (a08140d). 4.34.1 (released 2022-07-06) ---------------------------- - [instancer] When optimizing HVAR/VVAR VarStore, use_NO_VARIATION_INDEX=False to avoid including NO_VARIATION_INDEX in AdvWidthMap, RsbMap, LsbMap mappings, which would push the VarIdx width to maximum (4bytes), which is not desirable. This also fixes a hard crash when attempting to subset a varfont after it had been partially instanced with use_NO_VARIATION_INDEX=True. 4.34.0 (released 2022-07-06) ---------------------------- - [instancer] Set RIBBI bits in head and OS/2 table when cutting instances and the subfamily nameID=2 contains strings like 'Italic' or 'Bold' (#2673). - [otTraverse] Addded module containing methods for traversing trees of otData tables (#2660). - [otTables] Made DeltaSetIndexMap TTX dump less verbose by omitting no-op entries (#2660). - [colorLib.builder] Added option to disable PaintColrLayers's reuse of layers from LayerList (#2660). - [varLib] Added support for merging multiple master COLRv1 tables into a variable COLR table (#2660, #2328). Base color glyphs of same name in different masters must have identical paint graph structure (incl. number of layers, palette indices, number of color line stops, corresponding paint formats at each level of the graph), but can differ in the variable fields (e.g. PaintSolid.Alpha). PaintVar* tables are produced when this happens and a VarStore/DeltaSetIndexMap is added to the variable COLR table. It is possible for non-default masters to be 'sparse', i.e. omit some of the color glyphs present in the default master. - [feaLib] Let the Parser set nameIDs 1 through 6 that were previously reserved (#2675). - [varLib.varStore] Support NO_VARIATION_INDEX in optimizer and instancer. - [feaLib] Show all missing glyphs at once at end of parsing (#2665). - [varLib.iup] Rewrite force-set conditions and limit DP loopback length (#2651). For Noto Sans, IUP time drops from 23s down to 9s, with only a slight size increase in the final font. This basically turns the algorithm from O(n^3) into O(n). - [featureVars] Report about missing glyphs in substitution rules (#2654). - [mutator/instancer] Added CLI flag to --no-recalc-timestamp (#2649). - [SVG] Allow individual SVG documents in SVG OT table to be compressed on uncompressed, and remember that when roundtripping to/from ttx. The SVG.docList is now a list of SVGDocument namedtuple-like dataclass containing an extra ``compressed`` field, and no longer a bare 3-tuple (#2645). - [designspaceLib] Check for descriptor types with hasattr() to allow custom classes that don't inherit the default descriptors (#2634). - [subset] Enable sharing across subtables of extension lookups for harfbuzz packing (#2626). Updated how table packing falls back to fontTools from harfbuzz (#2668). - [subset] Updated default feature tags following current Harfbuzz (#2637). - [svgLib] Fixed regex for real number to support e.g. 1e-4 in addition to 1.0e-4. Support parsing negative rx, ry on arc commands (#2596, #2611). - [subset] Fixed subsetting SinglePosFormat2 when ValueFormat=0 (#2603). 4.33.3 (released 2022-04-26) ---------------------------- - [designspaceLib] Fixed typo in ``deepcopyExceptFonts`` method, preventing font references to be transferred (#2600). Fixed another typo in the name of ``Range`` dataclass's ``__post_init__`` magic method (#2597). 4.33.2 (released 2022-04-22) ---------------------------- - [otBase] Make logging less verbose when harfbuzz fails to serialize. Do not exit at the first failure but continue attempting to fix offset overflow error using the pure-python serializer even when the ``USE_HARFBUZZ_REPACKER`` option was explicitly set to ``True``. This is normal with fonts with relatively large tables, at least until hb.repack implements proper table splitting. 4.33.1 (released 2022-04-22) ---------------------------- - [otlLib] Put back the ``FONTTOOLS_GPOS_COMPACT_MODE`` environment variable to fix regression in ufo2ft (and thus fontmake) introduced with v4.33.0 (#2592, #2593). This is deprecated and will be removed one ufo2ft gets updated to use the new config setup. 4.33.0 (released 2022-04-21) ---------------------------- - [OS/2 / merge] Automatically recalculate ``OS/2.xAvgCharWidth`` after merging fonts with ``fontTools.merge`` (#2591, #2538). - [misc/config] Added ``fontTools.misc.configTools`` module, a generic configuration system (#2416, #2439). Added ``fontTools.config`` module, a fontTools-specific configuration system using ``configTools`` above. Attached a ``Config`` object to ``TTFont``. - [otlLib] Replaced environment variable for GPOS compression level with an equivalent option using the new config system. - [designspaceLib] Incremented format version to 5.0 (#2436). Added discrete axes, variable fonts, STAT information, either design- or user-space location on instances. Added ``fontTools.designspaceLib.split`` module to split a designspace into sub-spaces that interpolate and that represent the variable fonts listed in the document. Made instance names optional and allow computing them from STAT data instead. Added ``fontTools.designspaceLib.statNames`` module. Allow instances to have the same location as a previously defined STAT label. Deprecated some attributes: ``SourceDescriptor``: ``copyLib``, ``copyInfo``, ``copyGroups``, ``copyFeatures``. ``InstanceDescriptor``: ``kerning``, ``info``; ``glyphs``: use rules or sparse sources. For both, ``location``: use the more explicit designLocation. Note: all are soft deprecations and existing code should keep working. Updated documentation for Python methods and the XML format. - [varLib] Added ``build_many`` to build several variable fonts from a single designspace document (#2436). Added ``fontTools.varLib.stat`` module to build STAT tables from a designspace document. - [otBase] Try to use the Harfbuzz Repacker for packing GSUB/GPOS tables when ``uharfbuzz`` python bindings are available (#2552). Disable it by setting the "fontTools.ttLib.tables.otBase:USE_HARFBUZZ_REPACKER" config option to ``False``. If the option is set explicitly to ``True`` but ``uharfbuzz`` can't be imported or fails to serialize for any reasons, an error will be raised (ImportError or uharfbuzz errors). - [CFF/T2] Ensure that ``pen.closePath()`` gets called for CFF2 charstrings (#2577). Handle implicit CFF2 closePath within ``T2OutlineExtractor`` (#2580). 4.32.0 (released 2022-04-08) ---------------------------- - [otlLib] Disable GPOS7 optimization to work around bug in Apple CoreText. Always force Chaining GPOS8 for now (#2540). - [glifLib] Added ``outputImpliedClosingLine=False`` parameter to ``Glyph.draw()``, to control behaviour of ``PointToSegmentPen`` (6b4e2e7). - [varLib.interpolatable] Check for wrong contour starting point (#2571). - [cffLib] Remove leftover ``GlobalState`` class and fix calls to ``TopDictIndex()`` (#2569, #2570). - [instancer] Clear ``AxisValueArray`` if it is empty after instantiating (#2563). 4.31.2 (released 2022-03-22) ---------------------------- - [varLib] fix instantiation of GPOS SinglePos values (#2555). 4.31.1 (released 2022-03-18) ---------------------------- - [subset] fix subsetting OT-SVG when glyph id attribute is on the root ``
