-- vkgoeswild: Pink Floyd - Shine on You Crazy Diamond - piano cover (around that
-- time I redid the code, a reminder so to say)

-- At some point I wanted to have access to the shapes so that we could use them in
-- metapost. So, after looking at the cff and ttf specifications, I decided to write
-- parsers. At somepoint we needed a cff parser anyway in order to calculate the
-- dimensions. Then variable fonts came around and a option was added to recreate
-- streams of operators and a logical next step was to do all inclusion that way. It
-- was only then that I found out that some of the juggling also happens in the the
-- backend, but spread over places, so I could have saved myself some time
-- deciphering the specifications. Anyway, here we go.
--
-- Color fonts are a bit messy. Catching issues with older fonts will break new ones
-- so I don't think that it's wise to build in too many catches (like for fonts with
-- zero boundingboxes, weird dimensions, transformations that in a next version are
-- fixed, etc.). Better is then to wait till something gets fixed. If a spec doesn't
-- tell me how to deal with it ... I'll happily wait till it does. After all we're
-- not in a hurry as these fonts are mostly meant for the web or special purposes
-- with manual tweaking in desk top publishing applications. Keep in mind that Emoji
-- can have funny dimensions (e.g. to be consistent within a font, so no tight ones).

-- When we have moved to lmtx I will document a bit more. Till then it's experimental
-- and subjected to change.
