On today's Office Hours call—

@MattRBlanchard updated on MFEKufo and MFEKstroke.
@yubitokaiden and @fr_brennan tried to fix the @interserver situation, which resulted in yet another nastygram:

Thanks to all attendees; see you Wednesdays @ 3pm.

@MFEKglif @maaudaan_tg @googlefonts i dare @davelab6 to RT this from @googlefonts

[Modular Font Editor K (MFEK) 🔣 @MFEKglif]

@koobs @_msw_ @fr_brennan Nevertheless, @fr_brennan quite enjoys writing silly LᴬTᴇX documents, and so, perhaps that was mostly the end goal.

Here's one you may find more amusing (although @googlefonts will not).

Authors of AGPLv3 published software are invited to participate in discussion of the MFEK Worldwide AGPL Exception for Flood Control, Security, and CAPTCHA Software Integration.

[Modular Font Editor K (MFEK) 🔣 @MFEKglif]

@koobs @_msw_ @fr_brennan @fr_brennan originally intended that a certain software would adopt the exception, but author said no. So, it has no more end goal, but remains broadly useful for software meant to be used on attack prone web servers where revealing how you detect spam defeats much of the point.

.@MattRBlanchard has made excellent progress on MFEKufo. It'll be demoed at 3PM during Office Hours call (https://t.co/weVnA8OFUK at the time).

Also Office Hours is moved to Wednesdays @ 3PM EST until further notice.

Congratulations! :-)

@MFEKglif @MattRBlanchard Yes! I missed office hours due to my wife having a baby but I'll try to be back next week.

More bounties coming soon. 👀

Answering an anonymous question about the MFEKglif roadmap.

The question is particularly good as it shows how the four main planned modules of MFEK—MFEKufo, MFEKglif, MFEKdesignspace, and MFEKmetrics, do and will interoperate.

Some of what was mentioned is done, most not.

[Modular Font Editor K (MFEK) 🔣 @MFEKglif]

Fortunately, font editors are used mostly by designers, so @fr_brennan's lack of design conscientiousness is rapidly pointed out, for him (or someone else) to address in time.

[Fredrick Brennan (@[email protected]) 🦝🔣📗 @fr_brennan]

for once in my life i made @MFEKglif's ui better instead of worse

mostly just because i wanted to add MFEKpathops NUDGE […] -i … -o …

[Modular Font Editor K (MFEK) 🔣 @MFEKglif]

@anshumanpandey some reason you can't use METAPOST?

[Modular Font Editor K (MFEK) 🔣 @MFEKglif]

In re: METAFONT:

No, and we likely never will, at least no time soon.

In re: remapping:

We will support this soon in MFEKufo. It's slated for release on 3/31 but may get pushed to 4/31 depending on @MattRBlanchard's timeline.

[Anshuman Pandey @anshumanpandey_]

@MFEKglif I use fontforge primarily as a way to convert metafont pk output to ttf, and for remapping glyphs to Unicode code points. Do you provide such capability, ideally with python support?

[Modular Font Editor K (MFEK) 🔣 @MFEKglif]

As far as tracing fonts in general goes, support for that is more near-term, but METAFONT's old formats are very unlikely to ever be supported unless @fr_brennan decides they matter a lot.

[Modular Font Editor K (MFEK) 🔣 @MFEKglif]

I don't want to name any of them, well, firstly, so as not to advertise nonfree software, but more importantly, to avoid lawsuits ("he is using our trademark on a font software w/o our permission, get him").

It'd set keybinding/themes/perhaps other stuff.

[Modular Font Editor K (MFEK) 🔣 @MFEKglif]

I'm opening this up to wider feedback.

What could I mention that would make you think of the names of the proprietary products made by e.g. @glyphsapp, @fontlab, @roboFontEditor, etc., without naming the product?

[Modular Font Editor K (MFEK) 🔣 @MFEKglif]

While we do have an IRC channel, it's pretty dead.

You may join our Discord at your option (free software can also connect e.g. DiscordQt): https://t.co/gOBjQZHbnF

Thank you for joining us at the @fsf's yearly convention https://t.co/RMeaCYQjnR 2023, @anontanuki and @/mic!

Very confident in the future of free software after seeing how big the movement is.
