15:06:06 [cslye]: Vlad: EPUB list conversation took place that WOFF is redundant for EPUB.
15:06:28 [ChrisL]: scribenick: cslye
15:07:19 [cslye]: Vlad: Font solutions are fragmented; thinks WOFF is best solution.
15:07:37 [cslye]: Vlad: Many list members are undecided.
15:08:01 [cslye]: What is the list?
15:08:35 [ChrisL]: http://openebook.org/
15:08:41 [cslye]: Vlad: List is: epub@openebook.org
15:09:31 [cslye]: I will talk to the Adobe person about it.
15:10:11 [cslye]: jdaggett: EPUB font is embedded, not linked.
15:10:31 [John_Hudson]: John_Hudson has joined #webfonts
15:10:44 [ChrisL]: We would like woff to be ubiquitous though, and we would like epub to deviate from Web standarfds as little as possible
15:10:52 [cslye]: Vlad: If the font data is packaged inside the file, it's embedded, and linking is not embedded.
15:11:09 [ChrisL]: its not embedded in the sense of being part of the same document file
15:12:13 [cslye]: ChrisL: Saving web pages: Don't want EPUB to deviate too much from that.
15:13:04 [cslye]: jdaggett: I don't see where we need to say explicitly that any particular font should be used in EPUB. Can recommend WOFF, though.

15:14:39 [Zakim]: sorry, jdaggett, I do not know which phone connection belongs to 1.250.247.aadd

15:15:30 [John]: [Sorry. There seems to besomething wrong with my phone.]
15:15:30 [howcome]: zakim, aaff is howcome
15:15:30 [Zakim]: +howcome; got it
15:15:53 [cslye]: Vlad: EPUB has a "mangled font" algorithm that was optional.
15:16:23 [cslye]: Vlad: WOFF is a better solution since it has more support and has metadata.
15:16:42 [cslye]: jdaggett: That's a dumb requirement.
15:18:08 [cslye]: sergeym: The spec wants to avoid moving a font from one EPUB to aother.
15:18:43 [Zakim]: + +1.250.668.aagg
15:18:55 [cslye]: Vlad: I'm not concerned about users with proper license.
15:19:11 [cslye]: sergeym: Just clarifying what the spec actually says.
15:19:26 [cslye]: sergeym: (The EPUB spec.)
15:19:55 [cslye]: Vlad: WOFF informs the user.
15:20:03 [sergeym]: sergeym has joined #webfonts
15:20:12 [cslye]: Vlad: Keep honest people honest.
15:20:28 [cslye]: Vlad: Moving on...
15:20:52 [cslye]: First agenda item: Review open action items.
15:20:59 [John]: zakim, aagg is John

15:27:08 [ChrisL]: http://www.w3.org/Fonts/WG/wiki/TestPlan-General#Test_Plan_-_General
15:27:53 [cslye]: ChrisL: Leave untestable things as lowercase 'must'?
15:28:51 [cslye]: ChrisL: Take untestable things out of conformance spec.
15:29:03 [cslye]: ChrisL: Just recommend testing them.
15:29:43 [cslye]: jdaggett: Just mark what's not testable.
15:29:53 [cslye]: ChrisL: I agree, but...
15:30:25 [jfkthame_afk]: jfkthame_afk has joined #webfonts
15:31:09 [cslye]: ChrisL: Following CSS3 font spec is hard to test.
15:31:33 [cslye]: jdaggett: Benefit to leaving CSS3 requirement is useful, though.
15:31:37 [Zakim]: +jfkthame
15:32:35 [cslye]: Vlad: Better to keep these things in the spec, even if they're difficult/impossible to test.
15:33:25 [cslye]: Vlad: Let's review the test plans along with looking at Tal's stuff.
15:33:43 [cslye]: Tal: Python script generates valid and invalid WOFF.
15:33:56 [cslye]: Tal: Link them to testable assertions.
15:34:42 [cslye]: Tal: Should I eliminate tests that aren't tied specifically to testable assertions?
15:34:50 [cslye]: ChrisL: NO NO NO!
15:35:12 [cslye]: Tal: Tricky to make a font that has only one thing wrong.
15:35:43 [cslye]: Tal: I have a dump of test cases I have now.
15:37:02 [ChrisL]: ref as in reference
15:37:12 [cslye]: jdaggett: Ref test compares two documents; can be automated.
15:38:05 [cslye]: jdaggett: Alternate test shows PASS/FAIL, when a reference is not available.
15:38:30 [cslye]: jdaggett: Let's have both kinds of tests.
15:38:55 [cslye]: Tal: Keep the sfnt as simple as possible; with single character?
15:39:27 [cslye]: sergeym: Existing test fonts work fine; we don't need something new.
15:39:39 [tal]: http://wofftesttemp.typesupply.com/UA-Tests/useragenttestindex.html
15:41:09 [cslye]: Tal: Ref tests use a raw font for comparison.
15:41:35 [cslye]: Better to use an installed font, instead of linked?
15:43:01 [cslye]: jdaggett: Have an installed fallback font to use as a flag, to indicate that fonts are loading properly.
15:45:08 [cslye]: Vlad: Create a font with mis-mapped characters, so that "PASS" = "FAIL"
15:45:16 [jdaggett]: http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20101027/xhtml1/font-family-name-003.xht
15:45:20 [ChrisL]: Text fotr a 'must load' test is 'FAIL" and the font has P glyph for F etc so it looks like'PASS' when loaded
15:45:24 [jdaggett]: http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20101027/xhtml1/font-family-name-ref.xht
15:45:49 [jdaggett]: those are examples of a reftest that uses
15:46:00 [jdaggett]: the sort of thing we're talking about
15:46:32 [cslye]: sergeym: We need to show when fonts don't load at all. Need separate font for that?
15:46:56 [cslye]: jdaggett: We have all this already.
15:47:14 [ChrisL]: Text for a 'must not load' test is 'PASS" and the font has F glyph for P etc so it looks like 'FAIL' when erroneously loaded
15:49:11 [cslye]: tal: Some testable assertions test file format. Should a UA test pass even if file format is invalid?
15:49:45 [cslye]: tal: Checksums - validator will fail bad checksums, but UA should pass.
15:50:26 [cslye]: tal: Need test case for UA where checksums are bad, but UA will pass it.
15:50:42 [cslye]: Vlad: Don't see why we need this test.
15:51:07 [cslye]: jdaggett: We don't want UAs to be required to fail it, but they can if they want.
15:52:58 [cslye]: Vlad: Do we have tests for UA with bad metadata?
15:53:36 [cslye]: tal: I will add some of these edge cases that aren't there.
15:55:00 [ChrisL]: action: Tal to create UA test for bad metadata
15:55:00 [trackbot]: Created ACTION-48 - Create UA test for bad metadata [on Tal Leming - due 2010-11-24].
15:55:59 [cslye]: action: Tal to update UA test plan to include new "fringe" tests.
15:55:59 [trackbot]: Created ACTION-49 - Update UA test plan to include new "fringe" tests. [on Tal Leming - due 2010-11-24].
15:57:12 [cslye]: tal: What if padding is done with something other than null bytes?
15:58:32 [cslye]: action: Tal to update font format test plan to include new "fringe" tests.
15:58:32 [trackbot]: Created ACTION-50 - Update font format test plan to include new "fringe" tests. [on Tal Leming - due 2010-11-24].
15:58:52 [cslye]: tal: Please give me comments and suggestions on test plan.
