Nice info about COLRv1. I love they've picked up on this:
ALT Shadow of a letter that fades off using a gradient mask in COLR v1.

#variablefonts and #colrv1 are a great combination

I am happy to introduce Nupuram, a new Malayalam typeface that I have been designing and developing for several months.
Nupuram is a superfamily of 6 related typefaces including a variable font and two Color fonts.
And Nupuram is designed using MetaPost. 🧵👇

Lots of possibilities in one font!

Instead of letting moiré effects causing you a headache, embrace the interference patterns as a design concept (and shift the headache elsewhere! 😎). Play with the Plakato Moiré font yourself: underware.nl/fonts/plakato/f…

Really kinda fun to play around with the design space of this font.

There are still some issues with sweep gradients, but yes, by and large FontGoggles now supports variable COLRv1. github.com/justvanrossum/fon…

Nice article from @Litherum & @djrrb.
"Color palettes work great in WebKit with the COLRv0 font file format, and we are investigating other formats like SVG."
Or how about COLR v1? Rich graphics, CSS palettes, and font variations!

Did you know fonts on the web can be in color? They can have several color palettes defined inside, and you can choose which palette is used with `font-palette`. Or define a custom palette with `@font-palette-values`.
Learn how from @Litherum & @djrrb

Btw, @djrrb has a COLR v1 version of the Bradley Initials font that's highlighted in the article.

I finally managed to watch @FreyaHolmer’s video about (the math behind) Bézier curves. It is truly fantastic, with great explanations and visualisations. Its 1M (!) views are well deserved.

Should have posted yesterday: April 6 was 30th anniversary of release of Windows 3.1. @g_r_e_g_h has written a great article about introduction of TrueType and the first TrueType Font Pack for Windows.

This week my experience using Macbook feels a bit like Win 95: I should start counting how many times it has crashed this week.

A step forward: Microsoft Edge has updated with Chromium 98, and now supports COLR v1.

Chrome 98 is out, and #COLRv1 is now mainstream. Thanks to @abrax5 for making that happen.

The biggest change is the introduction of a second version of the COLR table. Support is already enabled in Chrome Canary builds, and I've seen some font developers already building fonts using the new capabilities.

Other significant changes include clarification of a number of details. Notable are clarifications for the 'glyf' table and various aspects of the TrueType instruction language.
