<p class="MsoNormal">COLR v1 will provide several additional graphics capabilities: support for gradients, transforms, composition and blending modes, and flexible ways to re-use components. A general way to characterize this would be to say that COLR v1 provides
a lot of the functionality available in the SVG table, but without the use of SVG markup or CSS.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But it also goes beyond the SVG table in that everything (for which it would be meaningful) in the formats is variable. So, for instance, in a variable font, things that could be varied include the placement of colour stops in a gradient,
alpha values, rotation angles, and more.<o:p></o:p></p>

Subject: [MPEG-OTSPEC] Requesting progress update on COLRv1 in fontTools, FreeType, etc.<br>
<br>
May I request an update for this group, from those implementing COLR v1, regarding the status of the new spec in fontTools and FreeType? Reports on implementation progress in other relevant systems, font editors or design applications would also be welcome.
Early opportunities for building and testing COLR v1 fonts are valuable!<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
thanks,<br>
<br>
<br>
