Kerning Adjustment interface for variable EFO. The interface is served through NodeJS, alongside a Flask server. The Flask server is communicating over Socket.io with the NodeJS interface.
- Colaborative, Flask is multi-threaded so you can work on multiple EFOs at the same time.
- Interface Font rendering is done though fragments for faster result.
- Each Master can have it's own set of kerning adjustments.
- Your kerning gets stored in LocalStorage.
- Class Kerning, so you can kern all letters of a class.
- Snap Kerning, take screens of your kerning so you can verify it passing after saving and compiling.
On save, the data is transfered to efo/kerning/adjustments.json
And on kerning_compress_flat.py on that EFO, you get new PLIST and FEA files.
Runing efo_to_var.py - to compile with fontmake, clearing the browser cache data and reload - the interface mirrors the changes.
Working on integrating those last steps and making it easier.

Once the Node server is running, you can visit: http://localhost:8008/
NodeJS is also starting the Flask server, which logs all the threads visit: http://localhost:5000/
