Very small change of the file structure

[schriftgestalt]

I’m right now working to improve the font master UI. (to make it easier to set up variable fonts). That lead to a small simplification of the master properties. There are two new properties name and iconName the later can be ignored but the name will supersede the weight, width and custom entries. Those will still be there (for now) to not break compatibility with older versions. But if you find a fontMaster.name, you should use its value instead of the other three.

thanks for the heads up! Has this change of yours already been pushed out to the beta update channel?

This should be in 1082.

@belluzj can we close this or are there still things left to do from the things Georg mentioned above?

I'm not sure about the last part:

the name will supersede the weight, width and custom entries. Those will still be there (for now) to not break compatibility with older versions. But if you find a fontMaster.name, you should use its value instead of the other three.

I will check that the generated UFOs are named with the master's names when relevant.
