RE: Set canvas size by inches?
1 inch is 72 points...
this should do it!
widthInInches = 3 heightInInches = 5 newPage(widthInInches * 72, heightInInches * 72)

RE: Type Wave Animation
looks already cool!
The big difference between yours and the example you refer to is that the letters wait until all the following shaded letters arrive to the left and the right.

RE: Possible fix for kerning with two different fontvariations(wght) for neighbouring letters??
FYI: kerning over several variable settings does not work in Illustrator

or at least its working for me...

RE: Possible fix for kerning with two different fontvariations(wght) for neighbouring letters??
cool!
still, I don't get what the kerning value would be?
Imagine an axis with a super black with almost no kerning and a tiny light with lots of kerning: the pair AV where A is somewhere in the super black part and V in the tiny light part. Optical kerning is not an option here

you could also disable the
kern
feature, adding a small number to every letter seems like an easy cheat -
RE: Possible fix for kerning with two different fontvariations(wght) for neighbouring letters??
mmm, this is not possible: see it as different styles. There is no kerning between a bold T and a light T of the same family. (This is also not possible in Indesign)
But you could write something to typeset an apply whatever kern value. What would that value be? is it the interpolated kerning of both instances divided by two? this could go wrong

RE: How can I loop through all glyphs of a TTF or OTF font?
mmm, you need to use all the powers of drawBot!!
pageSize = "A4" path = 'AdobeVFPrototype.ttf' border = 20 txt = FormattedString( font=path, fontSize=20 ) txt.appendGlyph(*txt.listFontGlyphNames()) while txt: newPage(pageSize) txt = textBox(txt, (border, border, width() - border*2, height() - border*2))
