[config] Add OPTIMIZE_FONT_SPEED #3784
Conversation
Use it for compiling faster-to-load glyf/gvar/VARC.
|
out of curiosity, I tried to compile a glyf+gvar heavy font like Google Sans Flex with OPTIMIZE_FONT_SPEED=True, and the resulting ttf is 1,065,644 bytes bigger (4,823,984 vs 3,758,340) as expected, but interestingly when compressing both fonts with WOFF2, the speed-optimized font is actually 41,932 bytes smaller than the normal font which is supposed to be the size-optimized one. |

how is VARC compilation specifically affected by this? I see |
instead of using a string. DRY and prevents typos. Also has side-effect of importing fontTools.config module where options get registered globally directly from fontTools.ttLib so it is available throughout the package
Good catch. |
Mostly by change in TupleValues compilation. But I fixed the one you pointed out either. |
