> We use the glyph bounding box because it is typically simple to get hold of in whatever API you might be using to gather information about the glyph. Not all APIs seem to provide more detailed access to glyph metrics, whereas the bounding box appears to be pretty universally available. I see, but wouldn’t the glyph origin be even simpler to ”get hold of”, always being [0, 0]? :) Not that it is a big issue, but it just seems a bit curios to me: a lot of work has obviously been put into the SMuFL specification and it is generally very consistent in glyph registration and how glyphs relate to the font baseline and horizontal origin. Thus it is a bit surprising that the cut-outs don’t follow the same logic. Erik
