Hi,

This is a request for WebKit's position on COLR v1 vector color fonts.

Spec:

https://github.com/googlefonts/colr-gradients-spec/blob/main/OFF_AMD2_WD.md
*Proposed changes to ISO/IEC 14496-22 (Amendment 2)*

Chromium Bug:
https://crbug.com/1170733

Summary:

COLR v1 fonts are a new vector color font format that provides gradients,
transforms and compositions for font glyph drawing enabling an expressive,
very compact glyph definition format for OFF/OpenType fonts. This format
provides size and rendering fidelity (scaling) advantages over bitmap fonts
such as SBIX, CBDT/CBLC fonts for glyph designs that lend themselves well
to being encoded as vector art.

Thank you in advance for your position statement on this topic,

Dominik
