[1.1.6] - 2020-03-16

  • Updated uharfbuzz to latest version, which fixes a bug retrieving feature tags. Issue 63

[1.1.5] - 2020-03-15

  • Rewrote Bi-directional text support (issue 35, PR 60). This also implements script segmentation.
  • As an indirect consequence of the previous item, the "BiDi" checkbox above the character list has been removed.
  • Fixed regression: dragging fonts between FontGoggles windows works again.

[1.1.4] - 2020-03-07

  • Added "Reload font" and "Clear error" contextual menus to font item.
  • If an error occurs while preparing a VF from a .designspace file, check whether it was caused within GSUB or GPOS, and try again without that table. This allows us to at least see a partially working font.

[1.1.3] - 2020-03-06

  • [designspace] fixed layer composite regression introduced in 1.1.2 with the fix for issue 53.
  • Fixed automatic reloading snag. Issue 48

[1.1.2] - 2020-03-05

  • [designspace] Fixed issue with composite glyphs not rendering correctly if a base glyph uses a support layer. Issue 53

[1.1.1] - 2020-03-03

  • Fixed minor UI glitch: update available language tags after reload.
  • Update the used Unicode database to 12.1.0
  • Work around related Unicode bidi problem. Issue #49

[1.1] - 2020-03-02

  • Added View -> Show/hide Font File name menu. Issue #39
  • Sort fonts that are dropped onto a window the same way as when they are dropped onto the application. Issue #46
  • Small layout improvements. PR #45
  • GSUB feature tags now have a contextual menu (control-click or right-click) that allows the "alternate number" to be specified. This is useful for features that expose multiple alternates. Issue #42
  • Fixed Script override for script codes that are different between OpenType and ISO-15924. For example, when a font has mym2 as a Script, it would render incorrectly if the user actually selected mym2 as a Script override. Thanks to Ben Mitchell for reporting this.

[1.0] - 2020-02-29

  • One! Oh! Let's go!
  • Sort axis sliders more logically: sort registered axes first, then by name.
  • The Unicode Picker can now show more than 500 search results.

[0.9.8] - 2020-02-28

  • Added “Reset all axes” button to Variations panel.
  • Deal better with different default axis values when multiple fonts are being viewed.
  • Improved shift-click behavior in the font list

[0.9.7] - 2020-02-28

  • Be smarter about multi-font glyph selection if fonts behave the same and use the same glyph names, as is usual within a family.
  • Show stylistic set names when possible. If multiple fonts are loaded and they don't have matching names for a stylistic set, a generic "<multiple names>" is shown.

[0.9.6] - 2020-02-27

  • Fixed issue with glyph selection/hover, when adjacent glyphs overlap
  • Fixed pinch zoom issue which messed up window resize + scroll behavior
  • Fixed issue with clicking in font list but beyond of items
  • Made Copy menu (⌘-C) work in UnicodePicker
  • Added support for vertical text layout for .designspace files

[0.9.5] - 2020-02-25

  • Added support for COLR/CPAL color fonts
  • Added support for UFO color layer fonts, as experimentally supported by fontmake. See this new feature in ufo2ft.

[0.9.4] - 2020-02-24

  • Implement File -> Revert
  • Discovered a bug in the BiDi algorithm we use, which triggered an assert. Disabled the assert so we can at least see the result of the bug. Workaround: disable BiDi processing. See #35.
  • Hide the compile output panel by default, but show visual feedback in the font list when a compile warning or error was issued, and show the compile output pane automatically when a font item is selected that has a warning or error.
  • Fixed issue with dragging multiple fonts: the selection was reset to a single item, making it impossible to drag multiple fonts.
  • Fixed issue where you couldn't select glyphs by clicking outside the glyphs.
  • Make app icon work better at small sizes.

[0.9.3] - 2020-02-21

  • Save all text settings and many UI settings to the project file.
  • When performing undo/redo in the font list, also take the selection into account.

[0.9.2] - 2020-02-19

  • Fixed drag and drop bug on macOS 10.10

[0.9.1] - 2020-02-19

  • Reordering of fonts in the font list is now possible through drag and drop. One can also drag fonts to other FontGoggles windows, and to other applications.
  • Implement copying selected data from the character list and the glyph list to the clipboard. Selecting a whole column is also implemented. The result is tab-separated text, so it can be pasted straight into a spreadsheet.
  • Renamed “Size” slider to “Relative Size”, to make it clearer this is about the size relative to the font list item. Normal zooming is done with pinch gestures, command minus and plus, and option scroll.
  • Misc copyright updates.

[0.9.0] - 2020-02-17

First public release.
