More notes from my research into becoming the Industry Leading Font Management Platform:

–the vast majority of the time to generate 41,000 fonts via fontmake was writing UFOs: ~9hrs. After that it only took ~42 min to build all 41,000 (single glyph) OTFs, 60MB total

–if I generated a single variable font & used varLib to make static instances, would go much faster?

–even w/ joke projects like this I improved skills like writing scripts for building designspace files💪
