Research direction
Review fontkit's documented capabilities and public APIs for loading fonts and creating subsets, then compare them with the requested ability to write complete fonts. The issue is complete when the current support is established and any work needed for font creation has a defined scope.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Hi, I found fontkit after running into variable font limitations with opentype.js. However, it seems that fontkit currently supports only loading fonts, not writing it (besides font subsets) – is that correct?
