Summarizing various discussions about how to handle Edu Australia Hand fonts:

  • We need to ensure path directions are corrected
  • We need to make cursive forms correctly handle basic Latin accents
  • Outline, dots and "starter" variants, exceptionally, will be subsetted purely to a-zA-Z0-9
  • We will do this family (VIC WA NT) first and ensure we are happy with it before dealing with the others.

  • We agreed on the name standardization across handwriting families to keep library-wide consistency. So the Edu families will include:
    • The AU two letters abbreviation for Australia in the font and file names
    • Australia in the display_name of these fonts (for how they will be presented in the Specimen)
