An error occurred while saving the comment Thomas Phinney commentedAlthough at first it seemed like the OpenType SVG format might win the color font format wars, it has been apparent for a couple of years now that the COLR/CPAL approach is the victor. It is supported by all major browsers now, among other things.
Adobe needs to see the light and support it.

An error occurred while saving the comment Thomas Phinney commentedCompiling fonts with Glyphs uses 'rlig' which works in InDesign.
However FontTools which is used in many open source based production workflows, uses 'rclt' and this is unsupported by InDesign, despite being a “mandatory” OpenType feature.Some high-profile fonts make use of this, including Google’s Material Symbols UI icon font. In the currently shipping version, this is mostly only causing problems with 100% Fill, when combined with multiple other axes being at a setting other than the default.
However I can attest that a planned enhancement entirely relies on this working. So that is going to be a problem.

Problem in other Adobe apps as well.
Making weird hacked fonts to try to work around Adobe bugs is irritating, seeing as the build chain doesn’t natively support the wacky feature duplication required.Thomas Phinney supported this idea ·
