About optical fonts. There are some fonts that present more series of glyphs, divided by optical ranges ranges (generally three or four). For example:
Caption = {-8.9}
Text = {8.9-14.9}
Subhead = {15.0-22.9}
Display = {23.0-}.
Is the generation of these families somehow automatic?
Given that obviously it must take into account the intrinsic characteristics of the "starting" font (Text), which features should it possess?
Does the design of the gyphs fit in without altering the x-Height and C-height metrics, etc.?
