The upcoming fonttools + v4.x series is going to require Python 3.6 or greater. +- [varLib] Added new ``varLib.instancer`` module for partially instantiating variable + fonts. This extends (and will eventually replace) ``varLib.mutator`` module, as + it allows to create not just full static instances from a variable font, but also + "partial" or "less variable" fonts where some of the axes are dropped or + instantiated at a particular value. + Also available from the command-line as `fonttools varLib.instancer --help` + (#1537, #1628). +- [cffLib] Added support for ``FDSelect`` format 4 (#1677). +- [subset] Added support for subsetting ``sbix`` (Apple bitmap color font) table. +- [t1Lib] Fixed issue parsing ``eexec`` section in Type1 fonts when whitespace + characters are interspersed among the trailing zeros (#1676). +- [cffLib.specializer] Fixed bug in ``programToCommands`` with CFF2 charstrings (#1669). + 3.43.2 (released 2019-07-10) ---------------------------- |
