I'm a bit late to this discussion, so please forgive me if this ground has already been covered... Would there be a way in (a) to allow a user of a font to modify the colors defined int the glyphs/font? For example, say Erik van Blokland makes an SVG OT version of his Federal family[1] for licensing to customers. In this font, he would have the fills of the layers defined as: shadow = gray bevel = black fill = white inline = green A user licenses this for use on a website that has a black background. Could the user change the background layer color to orange via CSS or something else? From my perspective as a typeface designer, this is a pretty important detail in all of this.
