@typographica Add “New York” also to the list. There's no public information on who designed the new “New York”, other than ‘Apple team’.

@khaled Ok, thanks.

Hi @khaled !

Is it correct that LuaTeX (with `Renderer=HarfBuzz`) doesn't yet work with COLRv1 fonts?

I've tested with LuaHBTeX 1.18.0 (TeXLive 2024) and it does show colours on COLRv0 fonts, but not on COLRv1.

@letterror @volkskrant that typeface looks very Gerrard Unger-ish... is it one?

@typographiesfr Thank you, I was deceived by the screenshots.

Now that I actually downloaded and checked the fonts; it indeed _has_ comprehensive set of symbols. Also very glad to see the fontspec and LaTeX style files; that makes using the fonts a breeze!

@typographiesfr Very nice typeface, and thank you for licensing it in OFL!

An observation: generally, Greek alphabets in math are italic; but in this font those are upright. Was it a specific design decision?

@bbbourq @hdonker And their tiny card scanning machines run on Linux. I saw the Tux once when the machine was just booting 🐧

@simoncozens Thanks Simon.

So, in the reference example, ‘Format 10’ means ‘Paint Glyph’ and ‘Format 2’ means ‘Paint Solid color’, I reckon.

Anyone knows whether `fonttools`/`ufo2ft` support generating COLRv1? Any documentation available how the `lib.plist` should look like?

Is this the only available example? https://github.com/googlefonts/ufo2ft/blob/main/tests/data/COLRv1Test.ufo/lib.plist

The 46th International TeX Users Group conference (#TUG2025) will be held in Kerala, India during July 18–20; enjoying varied talks and a bit of Monsoon 🙂

Registrations are still open, conference talks can still be submitted, and the hotel booking closes May 31st. Register now!

@ri Very detailed, excellent documentation.

I shall point out a minor mistake: Fig. 7 uses 0D30 RA; but the explanation above it uses 0D31 RRA. It would be correct to use 0D30 in both cases.

Grammatically; both RA and RRA conjoins with the base character to form its reph form (ref. Kēraḷapāṇinīyam), but Unicode & OpenType consider only 0D30 RA for the conjoining form.
