Project Proposal: Improving the text tool
The original report served as an RFC for my gsoc 2023 proposal. this year I want to continue to build further on that work.
This is a refined RFC instead of the previous wall of text, it is still incomplete, and comments are very welcome.
-
Support custom fonts (!1011 (merged))
OpenType Features
-
Support the ability to select alternate glyphs (WIP !1306) -
Support the ability to select from Color palettes in COLR fonts -
Support variable fonts and the ability to access variable axes
Better Font Handling (!9985)
-
Improve Font list UI I think it should be a drop-down list, with the font name rendered in the font (but that would be less than ideal if the font's name and the font's actual language/script differ) -
Missing fonts information should live for as long as possible
