This is a candidate release of 3.000. It updates the generated fonts (all made with fontmake) and also the README. There's a bit of unfinished work, in particular the Ligconsolata variants are not generated yet. I also want to do a subset excluding Vietnamese, for use in terminals (see #35). Closes #32, though there will be some followon work.
This updates the metadata for instances of the normal width. I'm not sure how to update metadata for the additional widths, but that seems likely to be future work.
Ran Google Fonts QA script, it came up with a few things it didn't like: * ymax exceeded the usWinAscent value. This was mostly due to extrapolation of the black weight, and was fixed by reining in the very tallest characters. Also clipped the darkshade character. * weightClass of ExtraLight should be 275 to work around GDI failures. It still complains about the names of the non-regular width fonts, but there is no guidance about how to handle that in a variable font. I think traditionally there's just a different family name for each width.

I ran the QA script, and fixed all the failures but one: it doesn't like names such as "Condensed SemiBold". It seems unequipped to handle variable fonts with a width and weight axis. I'm very open to guidance on how to handle this. |
Note that this commit also deletes the old Inconsolata.glyphs source file, as the new version now covers all of its functionality.

This is a candidate release of 3.000. It updates the generated fonts (all made with fontmake) and also the README, along with scripts to aid the release. There's a bit of tidying up, including making the names of the instances consistent ("Narrow" is now "Ultra Condensed" and "Wide" is now "Ultra Expanded").
