Font designers: I wrote a #fonttools tool to generate optimal `avar` weight axis mapping for a variable font. Take it for a spin:

Hey Twitter,
Recently, I decided to continue the work of Andre Fuchs on The Ultimate List of Kerning Pairs.
He did some very interesting and smart research/analysis for Latin script, but only for Latin.

I have written a small Python script using fonttools to remove all outlines from a font file but keep all other data. This way, you can safely send me your fonts if you wish to collaborate.
DM if your are interested :)

Therefore, I'm writing this post to ask Cyrillic/Greek type designers/foundries if they would like to collaborate with me to improve the input data. I'm looking for fonts that support the standard (extended is better) glyph sets for each script.

I'm thinking about learning to design Cyrillic Script.
I coded a DrawBot script to compare Latin and Cyrillic Forms and show outlines and widths diffs.
Do you think an approach like this could be useful ?
