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

[Josh Hadley]

Hi Dave & AHG participants,

Adobe will have at least one person attending (actually, presenting at) TypeCon who might be able to attend an OFF meeting in person. I don’t currently have plans to be there in person. I expect that any such meeting will be hybrid and not F2F-only.

I checked with our folks in Portland, and it is true that we have a facility there, but it sounds like it would not be well-suited for the proposed meeting. So, if you want to proceed with plans to host at the Google facility that would be great.

Any chance you or anyone from Adobe will be attending the TypeCon event in August

It looks like Rod and I have travel approved by our VP to meet in Portland in August.

I reached out to Neil Summerour at SoTA but haven't heard back, but since Typecon isn't in a hotel venue this year, I am guessing they may not be able to offering a large meeting room space anyway.

Will Adobe be able to host a meeting? I see from a quick websearch there is an Adobe office in Portland (1500 SW First Ave) :)

There's also a modest Google office (555 SW Morrison St Ste 500 Floors 4 & 5), and Rod and I can easily host a max of 20 people (22 including us) and after that I'll need to do more organization.

In case we want to use the Google office option, I made a form to collect information; we'll need to pre-register everyone who will attend in a guest kiosk system. That needs names and emails that match photo ID, and to show the photo ID to a receptionist.

We would also like to remind folks that the format has already adopted CFF2 which uses cubics and can already address > 16-bit glyph indices.

Sadly since I see color variable fonts as the future, I am not sure where CFF2 and SVG-in-OT will go. Would there be a CFF3 that supports color and the things under discussion here, or, would cubic-in-glyf plus support for PS hinting be effectively CFF3?

How does GPOS/GSUB work for CFF2 fonts' 70,000th glyph?

Cheers
Dave
