Hello WG, We will have our regular WebEx call today (see time and connection info below). I only have one item to discuss - the 'hmtx' transform and how to make the most out of it. The background info on the subject can be seen in my earlier email to the list [1], the bottom line is that if we take "all or nothing" approach we may miss some of the lucrative optimization opportunities where a font that has a small run of proportional glyphs and a much larger run of monospaced glyphs (thinking of Chinese fonts with proportional Latin glyphs and monospaced Kanji) may miss the optimization step if lsb values for Latin characters are not equal xmin values but Kanji characters are well behaved. "All or nothing" approach is easy to implement by simply using a <transformLength> field as an indication that the 'hmtx' table was pre-processed, but treating two different arrays of lsb values separately would require an additional signaling mechanism. The answer may still be "all or nothing" but I didn't want to give up without discussing this with the WG. If you have anything else you would like to discuss, don't hesitate to send your agenda+ requests to the list.
