Re: [ft-devel] ftgrid now supports MM (and GX) fonts

[Adam Twardoch (List)]

It's possible to create GX Variations in FontForge (where they are called the 
Apple flavor of MM). There are some bugs there, resulting probably from the 
not-so-clear documentation by Apple (fvar, gvar, avar, cvar tables -- all 
documented by Apple), and from lack of testing on Mac OS. 

I'm currently working on this (testing, reporting bugs) and building a sample 
font that I'll release under OFL or Apache 2.  

FontLab Studio 5 can open GX Variations but it converts them to the Adobe MM 
model via extrapolation. It cannot generate them, though (currently, FontForge 
seems to be the only tool that does it). 

Best,
Adam
