Beyond composing ligatures, AAT finite-state transducers can also
execute insertion actions without rewriting existing glyphs. The
corresponding actions have almost the same structure as ligature
actions, so we can share a lot of the plumbing within fonttools.
This renaming is in preparation of a larger change to support `morx`
ables with insertions.
Before this change, we were emitting XML with numeric values for `morx`
coverage flags. Now, we emit XML that makes more sense to human readers.
XML files from previous versions of fonttools can still be parsed.
Before this change, the following glyph class:
@Vowels = [@Vowels.lc @Vowels.uc y Y];
Would be written back as:
@Vowels = [@Vowels.lc = [a e i o u]; @Vowels.uc = [A E I O U]; y Y];
Which is clearly invalid. It seems for GlyphClass.asFea() to work
correctly here we should be using GlyphClassName not GlyphClass
for the nested classes (similar to the code at the beginning of
parse_glyphclass_()).
Since the AAT ligature subtable does not encode the number of ligature
glyphs, we need to infer this from the total structure length. We pass
this around by creating a custom sub-reader that only has the substruct
as its data. There might have been easier ways to accomplish this, but
we should anyway change the XML output for MorxSubtables to use custom
flag names, similar to what we're already doing for flags of morph actions.
Having a custom converter for MorxSubtables is in preparation for that
later XML format change.
Previously, for closed paths, we were always dropping a lineTo segment
that followed moveTo, because after reversing the contour this lineTo
would become the last segment, and in the Pen protocol a closePath
always implies a line to the fist point.
This is OK when the move point and the following lineTo oncurve point
(which becomes last after reversal) don't overlap.
However, if they do, we ended up dropping the duplicate point.
This cu2qu issue exemplify the problem (cu2qu actually uses the
ReverseContourPointPen wrapped by ufoLib's converter pens, but
fontTools' ReverseContourPen does exactly the same):
https://github.com/googlei18n/cu2qu/issues/51
With this patch, the ReverseContourPen now emits the last lineTo
when it is the same as moveTo.
We don't need to cast to int when using the round function from py23,
as this is a backport of python3's built-in round and thus it returns
an int when called with a single argument.
Cleans up GDEF varstore as well.
What's left:
- In none of the varLib.merger Mergers we handle the CaretValueFormat3. That should be done,
even though no one uses this,
- GPOS/GSUB FeatureVariations are not applied. Shouldn't be hard.
- 'rvrn' should be folded into 'ccmp' or some other default feature.
Before Python version 2.7.7, the struct.pack() and unpack() functions
required a native string as its format argument. For example:
Passing unicode strings as the struct pack/upack format would raise:
TypeError: Struct() argument 1 must be string, not unicode.
This error occurs when we use `from __future__ import unicode_literals`.
This problem was fixed in Python 2.7.7. Since then, struct now also
accepts unicode format strings.
Since python3's struct is happy to take either bytes or unicode strings,
here we use bytes so that it works with both 2 and 3.

The new instantiateVariableFont function takes a variable TTFont and a
dictionary of axes locations and returns a static TTFont instance.
The current code modifies the varfont in-place. To adapt it for
generating multiple instances from the same varfont, for now I simply
resorted to making a copy (can be optionally disabled by setting
inplace=True).
Also, replaced print() with log.info().
