Hopefully font technology will develop so as to have chromatic fonts.
One idea is my suggested eutofont format.
Some time ago I devised a font format which I call the eutofont font format.
There are some documents available linked from the following web page.
I am hoping that one day it will be possible to save a font using “Save to eutofont format” directly from Font Creator Program and also to read in a font directly into Font Creator Program using “Read from eutofont format” .
The eutofont system is still experimental. In order for the eutofont font format to become successful there need to be app…
I have not done any more with the eutofont format since, yet I am hoping that it may get taken up some day.
