[MPEG-OTSPEC] Scheduling Zoom meeting to discuss new proposals and AHG recommendations

[Georg Seifert]

Hi,

Pixel based fonts might seem to be obsolete but there are many things that can’t be easily expressed with vectors. So I strongly recommend to keep support for pixels. A very nice example of a commercially color pixel font: https://liebefonts.com/fonts/liebeheide

Having just experienced some problems a few weeks ago with it, and sent in the fix myself, I went a bit further and ported the OT-SVG support to freetype-py in the last few days. (I.e. just landed last night, you can draw with OT-SVG color font with python...).
