<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_extra">Hi</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Good progress this week, but PLEASE do keep up with the daily 3 line email. I will note how many days you've worked and how many daily reports that you agreed to send were made in your midterm evaluation :)</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">The blog ☺ <a href="https://sugarlabs.github.io/edit-fonts-activity/">https://sugarlabs.github.io/edit-fonts-activity/</a> had a good run of posts at the start, but last 2-3 weeks has been very dry. I would like to see something like <a href="https://sugarlabs.github.io/edit-fonts-activity/week-1-work">https://sugarlabs.github.io/edit-fonts-activity/week-1-work</a> at the end of each week going forwards, including one for today. </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_extra">I think the UI/UX is coming together nicely, and Eli and I can do user testing with what you have, and iterate it. </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I think your main job for the next week is to make the core new/load/save/import/export methods work. Once they are working well, then move on to the core methods needed to edit a glyph: editing the points is 1/2 of that, and editing the sidebearings is the other half. Probably sidebearings is easier than points :) </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_extra">For editing points, there is</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">0. adding new points to make a new contour (a "pen tool")</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">1. repositioning existing points</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">2. adding new points to existing contours</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">3. removing points from a contour that 'breaks' an closed contour into an open one</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">4. 'merging' points, where they are removed from a closed contour without breaking it open</div><div class="gmail_extra"> </div><div class="gmail_extra">Imagine you are using it for the first time: you need to make a new font, add some glyphs, add some contours to those glyphs, move their points around and set their sidebearings, save your work in a UFO, export your font as a OTF, install the OTF in the system, and use it in another activity. </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">When you can do that, you'll have a v1.0 :)</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Cheers</div><div class="gmail_extra">Dave</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div></div>
