@adraffy @unicode New scripts are not automatically added to TR31; there needs to be a proposal providing evidence why they should be included. See unicode.org/cgi-bin/GetL2R….

@ManishEarth If cognates can spread over 2000+ years and also across entirely different linguistic phyla and still be recognizable cognates, it doesn't seem unreasonable to suppose that continuous development in a single-language line could retain recognizable reflexes.

@zenodotus I can't tell what post started this or what the text issue is.

@simoncozens @adamtwar Nothing prevents OT language system tags from making a language + region distinction or even just a region distinction.

@adamtwar @lianghai @simoncozens Which is exactly why OT ScriptLangTag is not exactly like BCP 47—and the only real difference (they are much closer than your earlier tweet implies)

@jensimmons I don’t hang out a lot in the css world so don’t know all the experts there, but from what I see on the type side +11 for Jason Pamental: he does great implementation, deep knowledge on both sides, and great teacher.

@KhaledGhetas But why use GDI? DWrite can certainly provide what you want.

@KhaledGhetas I don't think so, but just in case you could try, in your EnumFontFamExProc, casting the LOGFONT at lpelfe to ENUMLOGFONTEXDV. (I think I tried once and it didn't work.) learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous…

@bram_stein @simoncozens Hmmm… Do for compositing modes what feature variations does for GSUB / GPOS.

#variablefonts and #colrv1 are a great combination

I am happy to introduce Nupuram, a new Malayalam typeface that I have been designing and developing for several months. Nupuram is a superfamily of 6 related typefaces including a variable font and two Color fonts. And Nupuram is designed using MetaPost. 🧵👇

@PixelAmbacht @Litherum It would probably help (at least some) if CSS Fonts Module provided an example of @ font-face with a variable font and a weight range declaration.
