 Introduction

-I use Glyphs App to work on Work Sans. As stated in README.md I am not offering UFOs since the UFOs generated from Glyphs 2 will not interpolate properly due to using Glyphs 2 only features. If there is demand, in the future I may upload a compatible UFO set for interpolation.

-There are three sets of instances in the .glyphs file, two that are named with font weights, the third named using its stem weights. The first set (10 weights from Hairline to Black) are for generating OTFs and follow Microsoft's recommendations for setting vertical metrics[1]. The second set are for generating TTFs for webfonts and follows Google Font's webfont recommendations[2]. When exporting fonts, export at the 'OTF' tab and check 'Remove Overlap' (hinting and format settings are already set in the Instances panel for each instance).

 [3] Setting the ROUND_XY_TO_GRID bit in composite glyphs causes components to be shifted by an integer pixel amount which preserves the hinted shape. This reduces file size so that ttfautohint does not need to rehint composite glyphs to create consistent rendering – especially important for glyphs such as super-/sub-script numerals and fractions which use components that are shifted.
 
+[4] These IDs are needed for Mac OS 9 and are considered wasted space.

 Converting to woff and woff2
 ----------------------------
 sfnt2woff and woff2_compress are used to generate woff and woff2 fonts. Follow the resepective programs' instructions to do so.
