Some readers may remember the following thread, entitled “A possible chromatic font technology breakthrough”.
I have now produced a version of the Holly font with cencontours as mentioned in that thread.

I have been unable to test whether the font works as I do not have a wordprocessor which has chromatic font handling capability. As far as I know, such a wordprocessor is not available.
However, hopefully some readers will find the font worthy of study using FontCreator.
I feel that what is interesting is that chromatic fonts can now be implemented using cencontours without needing any changes to the TrueType or OpenType specifications, so it is now a matter of whether a software package capable of handling chromatic fonts can be produced.
