Any suggestions? 14:08:00 Chris: Looks good 14:08:32 Christopher: new to this and mainly listening right now 14:09:12 Vlad: so first item was to Discuss and finalize the WOFF specification 14:09:38 ... run through the text, review text for areas of improvement eg more future proof 14:09:54 ... whether the metasdata definition is sufficient 14:10:11 ... for the end users and exposable by the user agents 14:10:27 +[IPcaller] 14:10:53 Chris: also good to identify all the conformance statements 14:11:15 zakim, ip is Howcome 14:11:15 sorry, ChrisL, I do not recognize a party named 'ip' 14:11:38 zakim, [IPcaller] is Howcome 14:11:38 +Howcome; got it 14:12:42 -Sergey 14:13:22 +Sergey 14:13:44 Zakim, mute Sergey 14:13:44 Sergey should now be muted 14:13:45 zakim, mute Sergey 14:13:45 Sergey was already muted, ChrisL 14:14:35 Christopher: Is WOFF web only? Meaning of embedding bits. Keeping metadata in sync 14:15:09 Vlad: Not up to our group to make WOFF web only. No significant power to control how it is used 14:15:55 EPUB 14:16:16 ePub developed by IDPF 14:16:18 Vlad: EPUB uses HTML and CSS it could use WOFF as well 14:17:20 Vlad: main focus is to make it suitable for the Web use. If its used elsewhere that is out of scope 14:17:50 Jonathan: EPUB has no benefit to use WOFF. Its a zip file so just add a OT file to the zip 14:18:08 Christopher: Informational metadata could be useful though 14:18:26 Joanathan: guess that is true but could go in ePUB metadata as well 14:19:13 Chris: license agreement may be different for OT and WOFF 14:19:25 Jonathan: ePub is neither print nor Web really 14:19:47 Vlad: Its an exampl eof Web tech being used in non-Web contexts. Just an example 14:20:05 Sylvain: does ePub require all resources to be local? 14:20:35 Vlad: reasonable to assume any connected device will get online resources 14:21:28 Vlad: bottom line, we make WOFF to be used on the Web and if it gets used elsewhere we can't really control that 14:22:23 Chris: what was the point about metadata in sync? 14:23:08 Christopher: OT has tables and information, some people were talking about duplicating some of that in the metadata. Wasn't sure if that should be required to sync with OT table data 14:23:40 Tal: Talked about this a lot when writing spec and came up with use cases where the dayta would not be in sync 14:23:56 ... eg a type service that adds a different license 14:25:00 Vlad: fonts contributed by individual typographers and the license reflects the EULA under which it was sold, so the vendor info goes to the foundry selling it not the designer 14:25:34 Christopher: agree that there are cases where they would not be in sync 14:26:39 Vlad: extended metadata, no real control on what goes in there so its hard to mandate as its extensible by design 14:27:20 Vlad: embedding bits are a bone of contention, no good understanding on how they apply to different scenarios 14:27:58 JohnH: Issue with embedding bits in OS/2 table wrt webfonts came out of EOT which made an explicit association 14:28:12 ... and the tools looked at the embedding bits for permission to make EOT 14:28:48 ... in the 10 year period between EOT and now, the use of embedding bits has become much more focussed on PDF. Foundries see them in that way 14:29:04 ... which does not reflect licensing for web use 14:29:35 ... so use of embedding bits gives the wrong impression to customers. Can be helped by better metadata and clearer licenses 14:29:56 ... should we make explicit that embedding bits are not relevant to WOFF 14:30:14 ... most borowsers than link to raw OT ignore embedding bits 14:30:30 .. got impression from Si Daniels that Microsoft not so keen on that 14:31:09 Vlad: Two major points, one that embeddingbits should have no impact on usrr agents, assume the content creator read the license. 14:31:22 ... no need for UA to doubt user intention 14:32:08 ... seconfd point is that embedding is an indication of what is setby the license, so its up tothe author to check the license 14:32:37 ... differnet for static content or for user editable content 14:33:01 ... should be informative not normative 14:33:42 ... its toolate to look at the embedding bits once the font has been served 14:34:07 JohnH; Agreed, its mainly to clarify the situation and direct people at EULA not the embedding bits 14:34:30 ... should tools for creating WOGFF look at these, i wou;d argue not 14:34:48 ... also the reference to document embedding is not clear in the OT spec 14:34:59 zakim, who is noisy? 14:35:03 zakim, unmute sergey 14:35:03 Sergey should no longer be muted 14:35:09 tabatkins, listening for 10 seconds I heard sound from the following: Vlad (50%) 14:35:34 Christopher: main concern is tool s that generate woff 14:35:37 -Vlad 14:35:39 zakim, mute vlad 14:35:39 sorry, ChrisL, I do not know which phone connection belongs to vlad 14:36:14 Christopher: sounds like we all agree that user agents ignore embedding bits, so should we put it in the WOFF spec 14:36:26 Jonathan: (scribe missed) 14:36:40 +Vlad 14:36:45 JohnH: Si does not believe the OT spec needs to be changed here 14:37:05 .. believes embedding does not count document serving. 14:37:26 Chris: Is the ISO OFF spec clearer? 14:37:57 (apparently its is identical) 14:38:26 Vlad: getting back to the workplan at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webfonts-wg/2010Apr/0019.html 14:38:58 ... we can of course discuss the technical details, but later 14:39:30 ... including conformance and how it impacts same-origin 14:39:52 ... active discussion on that point on the mailing list 14:40:05 JohnH: Is any draft outline of the conformance spec yet? 14:40:12 Vlad: Its ahead of us 14:40:34 ... some items in the WOFF spec that indicate conformance 14:41:00 JohnH: Agree with Chris to identify conformance in whats expected of user agents 14:42:07 Vlad: agreed, and also suggest we look at any optional components to be sure we are not missing anything by making it optional which creates uncertainty . Prefer to avoid optional components as much as possible 14:43:37 Chris: comments from mozilla on direction of referencing 14:43:54 Vlad; also we will find spec changes by making tests 14:44:36 JohnH: What are the factors that affect this? 14:44:40 zakim, who is noisy? 14:44:54 tabatkins: that'll be jdaggett's baby, i think! 14:44:57 tabatkins, listening for 10 seconds I could not identify any sounds 14:45:07 jdaggett: Not clear exactly what the issues are and how long CSS3 webfonts will take 14:45:07 zakim, mute jdaggett 14:45:07 jdaggett should now be muted 14:45:15 Sorry! 14:45:24 zakim, unmute jdaggett 14:45:24 jdaggett should no longer be muted 14:46:47 Chris: can we help move CSS3 fonts forward? 14:47:05 jdagget:a common web format that is cross browser clearly helps 14:47:57 Vlad: one dependency, it would be good to see CSS3 Font mandate WOFF for example 14:48:11 .. other than this any other dependencies? 14:48:50 jdaggett: no, some of these are undecided. No dependency as such. But if WOFF is to be supported by all user agents 14:49:45 Chris: dependency from the @font-face syntax 14:50:16 jdaggett: some stuff in CSS2 @font-face is dropped 14:50:49 vlad: WOFF tests should not test application of opentype layout features, outside scope 14:52:11 Chris: (example of woff tools that drop important tables) 14:52:36 jdaggett: think that is a transient bug in chrome, as the tables are difficult to validate 14:53:17 vlad; agree, we are making the delivery format and the user agent will extract it and do something with it but at that point we are outside our scope 14:53:44 -Sergey 14:53:53 JohnH: Having WOFF specified will lead to making solid test cases for CSS3. not sure how it relates to the conformance spec 14:54:35 ... difficult to test fonts to look for cross browser compat as the services are doing PS to TT for example to serve as EOT so getting WOFF out there will be very helpful 14:54:43 +Sergey 14:54:59 ... likely WOFF gets specced before CSS3 is done 14:55:33 Vlad: getting to the top of the hour. 14:55:45 action; vlad draft something about embedding bits 14:56:09 action: vlad to draft something about embedding bits 14:56:09 Sorry, couldn't find user - vlad 14:56:23 trackbot, status? 14:56:32 action: vladimir to draft something about embedding bits 14:56:33 Created ACTION-1 - Draft something about embedding bits [on Vladimir Levantovsky - due 2010-05-12]. 14:56:47 action-1? 14:56:47 ACTION-1 -- Vladimir Levantovsky to draft something about embedding bits -- due 2010-05-12 -- OPEN 14:56:47 http://www.w3.org/Fonts/WG/track/actions/1 14:57:23 Chris: (demonstrates treackbot etc) 14:58:40 zakim, who is noisy? 14:58:53 jdaggett, listening for 10 seconds I heard sound from the following: Vlad (41%), Sergey (95%), ChrisL (5%), TabAtkins (12%) 14:59:01 zakim, mute sergey 14:59:01 Sergey should now be muted 15:00:01 Chris: Have made a pubrules-compliant wrapper so first public working draft should be easy 15:00:11 vlad: other action items? 15:00:40 action: chris to put the action plan on the wiki 15:00:40 Created ACTION-2 - Put the action plan on the wiki [on Chris Lilley - due 2010-05-12]. 15:01:14 Erik: My first w3 call - cellphones ok? 15:01:45 Chris: yes if there is a quiet environment 15:02:05 Vlad; Thanks for joining, see you next week, and on email 15:02:11 adjourned 15:02:18 -jdaggett 15:02:19 zakim, list attendees 15:02:20 -jdaggett.a 15:02:20 -Christopher 15:02:21 As of this point the attendees have been +31.70.360.aaaa, ChrisL, +1.443.895.aabb, Erik, Tal, sylvaing, jdaggett, +1.978.790.aacc, Vlad, TabAtkins, +0845397aadd, +1.250.668.aaee, 15:02:23 ... +1.510.816.aaff, Jonathan, Christopher, +1.425.213.aagg, JohnH, Sergey, Howcome 15:02:24 -sylvaing 15:02:24 -TabAtkins 15:02:24 -Jonathan 15:02:26 -Erik 15:02:28 -Tal 15:02:30 cslye has left #webfonts 15:02:33 rrsagent, make minutes 15:02:33 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2010/05/05-webfonts-minutes.html ChrisL 15:02:34 -Vlad 15:02:35 tabatkins has left #webfonts 15:02:36 -ChrisL 15:02:38 -Sergey 15:02:40 -Howcome 15:02:42 IA_Fonts()10:00AM has ended 15:02:44 Attendees were +31.70.360.aaaa, ChrisL, +1.443.895.aabb, Erik, Tal, sylvaing, jdaggett, +1.978.790.aacc, Vlad, TabAtkins, +0845397aadd, +1.250.668.aaee, +1.510.816.aaff, Jonathan, 15:02:47 ...
