duplicate scripts?

Open devosb opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Two scripts seem to be almost duplicates of each other. Both fix-family and fix-font has the same options for changing fonts

  • --include-source-fixes
  • --rename-family
  • --fvar-instance-axis-dflts

But the file handling is different, fix-family but not fix-font, supports

  • --inplace
  • multiple input fonts
  • the --out option is for a directory, rather than (I think) a path to the output font file

These are very similar, but they're different and I think they should stay. fix-family is intended for fixing multiple fonts in the same family -which is why it outputs multiple fonts to a directory not to a single output file it considers the family as a whole i.e. ensuring the names are consistent across the family.
