string2path (development version)

  • Partially support COLRv1 emoji fonts.

    • COLRv1 emoji font is a color emoji, but not all color emoji is COLRv1 format. For example, Noto Color Emoji has several variants, and it seems the primary one is CBDT/CBLC format.
    • Additional information are currently just discarded.
      • The clip and layer composition information are just discarded. While this can be useful, it’s not very easy to use these information in R.

  • Fix string2fill() and string2stroke(); when the second argument is a path to a file, these unintentionally worked as string2path().

  • string2path() now generates the same outline as string2fill() and string2stroke() (#69).

  • path_id and glyph_id are now 1-origin.

  • The result of string2fill() and string2stroke() now don’t contain a path_id column. I found the calculation of path_id had never been correct, and it’s probably better to remove it to avoid confusion.

CRAN release: 2022-07-17

Breaking changes

  • Drop support for R < 4.1.

  • Now all functions accept font family name. This is to support TTC file properly, which contains more than one fonts.

They also accept a file path, so the existing code should work, except when specifying tolerance without the named argument.
