Hello -
The last proposal we are submitting prior to the April deadline provides
guidance on hinting the CFF2-derived components of a composite VARC glyph:
https://github.com/adobe-type-tools/opentype-spec-drafts/blob/main/varchintguide.pdf
This also adds a new optional "CFSH" table for storing PrivateDICT and
FDSelect structures related to VARC. This new table isn't 100% necessary
-- one could almost entirely duplicate its function in the CFF2 table
itself -- but it allows separation of CFF2 component data and VARC
composite data. Anyway, we can talk about it.
I've also added the earlier documents to our repository:
https://github.com/adobe-type-tools/opentype-spec-drafts/blob/main/newfeatvar_spec.pdf
https://github.com/adobe-type-tools/opentype-spec-drafts/blob/main/negation.pdf
https://github.com/adobe-type-tools/opentype-spec-drafts/blob/main/cff2hintorder.pdf
Only the last has been edited, and only to change "master" to "instance"
as suggested.
