I made something. It sounds boring: it's an application to look at fonts. But it can do a lot! Most of which I described on a little web page, where you'll also find a download link: fontgoggles.org

so, a $2000 flight to a conference in a city with an average low-end price of $150/night for accommodation, plus a ticket that cost $575 for non-members (this year)?
i want you to please dig deep and be expeditiously for real when you say you want a more diverse type industry.

Which Python version are you using FontTools with?
Context: we are thinking of dropping support for Python 3.7 before its scheduled end-of-life around mid next year: github.com/fonttools/fonttoo…
Shout if you'd like us to continue supporting Python 3.7 for a few more months!

Behdad was on a roll with the ASCII art! Excellent work.
You're very welcome. :)
Now I've got to warn, moving the default typically blows up the font size unfortunately, because of how OT variations are stored...
Here's the core of the logic, with ASCII art:

This (probably) original piece by Adrian Frutiger explain a lot why we are charmed by pencil filling ✏️like @TypeLettering uses 🤗 all the time in our digital world.

I finally tried out v5 of the Designspace spec, which allows separate but related fonts (e.g. Roman and Italic) to be set up in one file, along with labels for instance style attributes… and it’s amazing!
FontMake built it beautifully, including both fonts with stat tables. 🎉
