New SVG-in-OpenType font + browser feature test

Hi folks!

I've been working on some SVG-in-OpenType stuff I hope you find
interesting. Typographer Novo Typo from Amsterdam designed a
multicolor font called Bixa Color that I helped create an
SVG-in-OpenType font for. The font can be found here:

https://bixacolor.com

And the tech write-up, with more details about how the font was created is here:

During the development of this font I figured front-end developers
would like a feature test to see which (if any) color font formats
were supported by their visitor's browsers. I created a simple test
called ChromaCheck:

https://github.com/RoelN/ChromaCheck

It checks for support for SVG-in-OpenType, SBIX, COLR/CPAL and
CBDT/CBLC. On the todo-list is checking for CPAL support. Maybe this
is of use for anyone experimenting with color fonts.

Best regards,
-Roel
