@jectives@typo.social Now this is something I've missed, and a big plus for color fonts!
Great to see palette support and COLRv1 support in Affinity. I know Adobe has been working on adjustable colours somewhere in '20-'21, but once again, Affinity takes the crown.
Thanks for being an Color Fonts ambassador, and your descriptions were on-point! And seems I have to update my tiny explainer page ;).
About the shadow: It's not in the font, but more as an explainer on what's possible with alpha/transparency layers.
And about giving colours specific names: This is possible, but currently missing in Nabla, would be a good test to see if Affinity can pick them up.

@typearture@typo.social I will add a correction about the shadow. I did question myself after the words came out of my mouth! haha I'm definitely interested in learning more about color fonts. I kind of stumbled my way through this one, which I think worked fine for the context of showing how confusing it might be for the average user (and how cool it is when they do work), but it would be nice to be educated the next time around. Any resources you can recommend for color and/or variable fonts?
