Glyphs workshop no. 2

Introduction to how variable fonts work: we will build a simple 1-glyph variable font, and export it, peek inside the compiled OTVAR, and properly produce and test a variable font.

You will learn about:
• reading the OpenType spec
• avar, gvar, STAT and fvar tables
• custom parameters and settings in the latest version of Glyphs
• find and avoid interpolation issues
• useful Glyphs extensions for variable font production
• third-party software and websites for testing

Requirements:
Some experience recommendable.
