I made something. It sounds boring: it's an application to look at fonts. But it can do a lot! Most of which I described on a little web page, where you'll also find a download link: fontgoggles.org

You are invited to our third live demo Fontra happening on the 1st of March 2024! @justvanrossum and @gaetanbaehr will be presenting and answering questions at the end!

@PixelAmbacht @blackfoundry @ATypI How do we tell if this is Twitter bullying or of this pdf hosting site (which we haven't used before) is indeed dodgy?

If you're at #ATypI: we will be talking about our browser-based font editor #Fontra on Friday, from 12:00 until 12:30 in Salle 108. Perhaps there will be some stickers left!

@OhBendy Can you open an issue? github.com/justvanrossum/… If I can (privately?) try the font that would be fantastic. Or if you could make a fake a font to show the behavior.

@very_robin This video supports that notion youtu.be/0V-n2nPsVG0

@justvanrossum Is possible to change the case with FontGoggles?

@calderon_type No it currently isn't. You could file a feature request on github.com/justvanrossum/… – I wonder if more people would find that useful.
