topics/scripts/examples: Show sans example

[davelab6]

Please could you whip up an extra illustration showing Roboto Extremo (or Delta, doesn't matter for this purpose) next to Noto Sans CJK, showing how the parametric axes allow Roboto to better match that sans CJK, just the same as the illustration here with Amstelvar?

@dberlow Is this something you want to pick the values for and then I'll just drop it in?

[dberlow]

Yes. I’ll get on it right away.

This is the beginning of the second example of script matching.

The First image will show Roboto-Regular [default opsz], being adjusted to match NotoSansCJK-Regular, looking something like this ;

Text to follow.

Second image will be showing a -Bold projected to match NotoSansCJK-Bold, like this;

Text to follow.

Development notes: it’s not possible to add adjustable Chinese axes to NotoSans in this timeframe so a stylistic match that’s possible is shown.

The specimens are composed in chrome, and typetools, at 36 point with the optical size set to the default, 14 pt.

Non-verbose Parameters are shown in blue.

Should we include a link to Laurence Penney and Irene Vlachou's Faux Foundry who are doing clever things with generating a custom variable fonts to improve the style matching of fallback fonts in CSS?

I am doing so in the main text.

Chinese 4 Chinese lines in each frame, should be identical at each weight, there seem to be differences?

Oh, it's because it's fitting the font size to the available width. I'll fiddle the size to be consistent but hopefully not wrap at different widths.

[dberlow]

Chris, There perhaps isn't enough clear difference between the showings. I'm wondering if you can start out the illustrations with either: an overlay of lines 1 and 4? line 1 in the background 75% grey, line 4 foreground and 100% or another color or what looks good to you. or, animate it with alignment lines of caps/ascender, l.c. and descenders to show the stretching? let em know. thanks.

Here are some paragraph views of the same thing.

[dberlow]

I’ve created a broader set of examples here : https://www.icloud.com/keynote/00bkq50SkHXs06Hx-_oqFGF_Q#Roboto_&_(non-Latin)
Slide one is mixed scripts in a paragraph. Slide two shows each adjusted Roboto style vs the default Roboto.

I think this should go here: https://variablefonts.typenetwork.com/topics/scripts/variations, as additional illustrations to the poi t being made there, skip the newly made Roboto-Chinese exercise and leave the Amstelvar-Chinese demo in place.

Will do. Can you please send me those four texts?

[dberlow]

I rest now. But I will start this afternoon and collect everything together for you. Thanks for holding. db On Sep 18, 2019, at 11:21 AM, Chris Lewis <[email protected]> wrote: Will do.

Hey Chris,

Here is the text:
The more things change the more different they look. Rememberance, The important thing is to keep your eyes open. — James Madison 1806

थे मोरे थिंग्स चेंज थे मोरे डिफरेंट Rememberance थे लुक. थे इम्पोर्टेन्ट थिंग इस तो कीप योर आईज ओपन.— James Madison 1806

რაც უფრო მეტი რამ Rememberance იცვლება, უფრო განსხვავდება ისინი. მთავარია, თვალები გახსნათ.— James Madison 1806

كلما تغيرت الأشياء كلما بدا شكلها Rememberance مختلفًا. الشيء المهم هو أن تبقي عينيك مفتوحة.— James Madison 1806

ככל שהדברים משתנים כך Rememberance הם נראים שונים יותר. הדבר החשוב הוא לפקוח את העיניים.— James Madison 1806

物事が変化すればするほど、Rememberance 見た目も変わります。重要なことは、目を開けておくことです。— James Madison 1806

This is in, but I can't for the life of me to get the word order right in the mixed RTL and LTR lines. I'm not experienced in mixed-direction rendering.

If anyone wants to try and fix the Hebrew/Arabic word order, the file is here and the correct sentences, as far as I know, are:

.ככל שהדברים משתנים כך הם נראים שונים יותר. הדבר החשוב הוא לפקוח את העיניים

.كلما تغيرت الأشياء كلما بدا شكلها مختلفًا. الشيء المهم هو أن تبقي عينيك مفتوحة

Looks okay on site?
