We've released v0.11 of vfbLib!
What began as a reverse engineering project in 2022 now has had a kind of official blessing from Yuri Yarmola of FontLab, who generously let me have a look at his original VFB code.
I am very grateful, for this has shed light on some intricacies of the format I would probably never have figured out on my own.

I've been trying to figure out what #FontLab 5 does under the title of “Matrix Multiplication”. The #Python docs tell us “Matrix - class to represent planar transformations” and then just say “Matrix(a, b, c, d, e, f) - creates a Matrix and assigns coordinates from float numbers” …
Now those matrices are supposed to represent transformations somehow. My knowledge from #FontTools says that a “Transform” with six values is xx, xy, yx, yy, dx, dy, with the identity transform being 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0.

Anyone build a #bionicreading plugin for scans/PDFs yet? Or program a font? THAT would be awesome. I have Reeder for RSS feeds and it’s great. Jiffy Reader browser extension pretty good for what could be expected, but can’t keep it on as default, too many glitches with certain site functions. #FontLab #webdev

Pour mettre ça en pratique, des tutos-screencasts #peertube pour qunifier des fontes avec #FontForge, #Glyphs et bientôt #FontLab.
