frame, but it's short and simple.<br>
<br>
Imagine you're a video editor working on a cable commercial about a new <br>
way to Make Lots of Money!!! You overlay a row of dollar signs from a <br>
cool variable display font and animate them to "pulse" by changing their <br>
weight. Unfortunately, when you look at the result the number of slashes <br>
in each dollar sign keeps changing, greatly distracting your otherwise <br>
elegant and sophisticated effect.<br>
<br>
The problem here is that doing the right thing for a given position in <br>
design space isn't always the right thing for animations that change the <br>
design space.<br>
<br>
I think this distinction calls for a new registered feature tag, <br>
probably 'anim', that when active avoids, undoes, or compensates for any <br>
(or most) such abrupt adjustments. While this is something that could <br>
always just be thrown onto 'ss15' or whatever, it would be better to <br>
have a reserved name so that animation tools can leave that tag turned <br>
on by default.<br>
<br>
A registered feature tag would also indicate something by its presence <br>
in a font: "we've thought about this problem". Designers might even <br>
throw it into a font with no such adjustments just to advertise that it <br>
is compatible with animation use.<br>
<br>
This is a simple enough idea, but I lack the context to come up with <br>
specifically what the section needs to say -- what advice to give to <br>
designers. Someone closer to the design side of things would do a better <br>
job. If anyone comes up with that wording but doesn't want to worry <br>
about ISO header pages and such, send it to me and I'll wrap it up into <br>
a proposal.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
