Hi folks,
We could do with a python 3.12 brotli re-release obsoleting
python3{7,8,9}-brotli, pretty please with sugar and honey on it! ;^>
There are a bunch of Graphite2 font tests that currently fail without
python-fonttools: I have installed fonttools[lxml,ufo,unicode,woff] with pip3.12
locally for testing and it now passes:
$ cygport graphite2 check
>>> Testing graphite2-1.3.15-1.x86_64
Test project /usr/src/graphite2/graphite2-1.3.15-1.x86_64/build
...
100% tests passed out of 91
Total Test time (real) = 17.33 sec
Python package fonttools base requires only core system support in python, but
feature options lxml, ufo, unicode, woff require brotli, zopfli, and unicodedata2.
I can try to package zopfli, unicodedata2, then fonttools locally, but stuck
without a brotli re-release.
Anyone advise how to python package with those lxml, ufo, unicode, woff feature
options, which appear desirable?
