[MPEG-OTSPEC] CFF2 errata

[Behdad Esfahbod]

Hi everyone,

CFF2 has a file size advantage over TrueType-flavored variable fonts,
specially if one doesn't care about hinting (Android, Apple platforms, etc)
but does care about (uncompressed) size.

CFF2 also alleviates some other limitations of variable-fonts built against
the gvar table. Unfortunately, it imposes its own limitations. These are
among the issues I'm going to raise.

Please see:

  https://github.com/harfbuzz/boring-expansion-spec/issues/155

for details of the changes I am proposing. Ideally, Adobe folks choose to
turn these ideas into proposals and push it through the OFF standardization
/ OpenType integration process. Failing that, we might want to go ahead and
do it at Google

Thanks,

behdad
