Overlaps

[pichotta]

Hi @m4rc1e

re: the overlap issues in Mac OS High Sierra. Is there a report of which glyphs with overlaps are causing troubles? TN designers can reconfigure the outlines in the masters for those overlaps.

I've had a quick look and I couldn't spot any so we're probably in the clear. I will take another quick look after Christmas.

It appears that the fonts are drawn without overlaps yet they retain MM compatibility.

Hi @m4rc1e,

Did this recent merge and build sufficiently fix any outstanding Issues with OpenSans related to nested components and overlaps?
#47

Are you able to sign-off on this family so hinting can proceed? Thanks!

Thanks! The nested components have been fixed.

Mike, you're free to start hinting. Apologies for the delay. Since all the fonts are MM compatible, I guess you'll want to hint the master VF which is https://github.com/TypeNetwork/opensans-1/blob/master/fonts/variable/OpenSans%5Bwdth%2Cwght%5D.ttf

[m4rc1e]

Apologies but I'm wrong.

The family consists of two master VFs:
Roman: https://github.com/TypeNetwork/opensans-1/blob/master/fonts/variable/OpenSans%5Bwdth%2Cwght%5D.ttf
Italic: https://github.com/TypeNetwork/opensans-1/blob/master/fonts/variable/OpenSans-Italic%5Bwdth%2Cwght%5D.ttf

Please hint both of these.

thanks Marc, Jill and Denis.

Marc, would you like me to work on a fork of this repo, as I had done for the other Variable font hinting projects, and make a pull request when I am finished the hinting for the Roman and Italic?

[mikedug]

hi Marc, just to confirm. The fonts you linked to, contain the Condensed Variations also. This is different to what was originally proposed in the project. This is OK, as the hinting will be the same approach. Can you confirm these are the fonts you want me to proceed with? thanks, Mike

[m4rc1e]

Yes, they are the correct fonts.

thank you
