Incomplete notes from the Typography + GTK+ session: | |
==================================================== | |
New default fallback font: Noto | |
------------------------------- | |
* Noto as the default fallback instead of Deja Vu | |
* Mangle names to map to just "Noto" to avoid polluting the font namespace | |
* Noto as fallback for Cantarell | |
- fontconfig file to do so | |
* New fontconfig metaconfig for things like headings (document hierarchy) | |
* System-wide monospace setting? Do people use that? Disable it? | |
* Fix Cantarell metrics to match Noto | |
Emoji | |
----- | |
* For Emoji; use Noto Emoji | |
- Metrics need to match Cantarell | |
* Emoji input support | |
- (Ctrl+Shift-U / Gtk+ Compose) | |
- gcharmap | |
- Shell search provider | |
- GtkEntry pop-up | |
* Emoji infrastructure | |
- Implemented as a bitmap | |
- Colour is interesting | |
- Everything else works | |
OpenType features | |
----------------- | |
* Putting into documents that people create | |
* Punctuation that adjusts itself according to surrounding text (small caps, numerals, etc) | |
- Pango is responsible for this | |
* Optical sizing | |
Misc | |
---- | |
* "Get more fonts" in the font chooser | |
- Fetches from a free font provider (like Google Fonts) | |
- Figure out if Google Fonts degrades the fonts in some way (ask Dave) | |
- GNOME Software is a "shitty experience" for browsing fonts, and requires the distro to bundle it | |
- Curated list of high quality fonts? | |
* AI for creating websites ("The Grid") | |
