Hi folks, I just committed a first draft of the Evaluation Report. I mainly concentrated on easy to understand introductory material, explaining the problem to be solved and why it is important. Bearing in mind that the primary audience are not necessarily familiar with fonts in general. Also, as a group we do not have a final analysis or any conclusions decided, so those sections are simply blank. But it gives an outline of how the report could look, so we can discuss the overall structure and approach at least. https://w3c.github.io/PFE-analysis/report/evaluation-report.html Reading over it just before the call, I think it actually needs a whole new section that explains what OpenType is, sfnt table structure, and how rendering a single glyph can depend on data scattered over several tables. But I wanted to discuss that on the call before starting to add it. I'm thinking again of an introductory and probably diagram-heavy exposition. And this will explain in turn why the byterange approach has to concentrate on a single table rather than lots of little tables. -- Chris Lilley @svgeesus Technical Director @ W3C W3C Strategy Team, Core Web Design W3C Architecture & Technology Team, Core Web & Media
