font_path
Flatten an avar2 variable font into an avar1 variable font.
positional arguments:
font_path Path to the variable font file
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-m, --mapping MAPPING
Path to avar1 yaml mapping
-o, --out OUT
--tolerance TOLERANCE
Max acceptable outline error in font units; refine by inserting knots and
rebuilding until met (default: report only, no refinement)
--max-rounds MAX_ROUNDS
Max refinement rounds when --tolerance is given (default: 5)
--max-masters MAX_MASTERS
Abort if more than this many masters would be needed (default: 300)
--samples SAMPLES Max cell midpoints to verify per round (default: 64)
--cross-samples CROSS_SAMPLES
Random cross-group locations to verify (default: 8)
--axes AXES Comma-separated axis tags to keep in the output font; the rest are pinned
at their defaults (default: keep all axes)
--grid GRID Comma-separated axis tags; add masters at the full tensor product of these
axes' knots for better accuracy between them. A tag may carry a master
count, tag:N, to use exactly N knots on that axis (always the default and
extremes; fewer than the font has picks evenly from its knots, more
bisects the largest gaps), or a slash list of user positions,
tag:300/400/700, to put masters exactly there (default and extremes are
added if missing). E.g. --grid opsz:3,wdth:5,wght:9 gives 135 grid masters
--grid-cuts GRID_CUTS
With --grid: also insert this many evenly spaced masters between adjacent
knots on each grid axis given without a count (default: 0)
--refine-at LOC Refine the built font at this location, given in user coordinates of the
output font, e.g. wght=352,wdth=25,opsz=9 (repeatable). A local master
with an explicit tent is appended, exact there and unchanged outside the
surrounding cells
--refine-crossings With --grid: refine wherever an output axis crosses its default or an
intermediate master between two grid knots, since gvar changes slope
there. A parametric font can have hundreds; see --max-refine
--crossing-min CROSSING_MIN
Minimum normalized travel of the output axis on both sides of a crossing
for it to be refined (default: 0.1)
--max-refine MAX_REFINE
Refine at most this many locations, strongest crossings first (default: no
limit)
--no-refine-guards Do not add guard masters at the neighbouring knots of axes a refinement
location sits at the default of; the correction then applies along the
whole of those axes
--no-verify Skip comparing the output against the original
