Converting text to outlines is giving a strange result. The resulting shapes look too complicated with strange overlaps. Over the years, I haven’t seen this behavior until now. What’s happening?
Thank you. This is helpful info. Not super related, but I will add that back in 2017, Monserrat was subtly redrawn with different weights. https://github.com/JulietaUla/Montserrat/releases/tag/v7.200

Where can I find and download this font ? Please help!
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to locate that exact font file in my search. However, I do remember that variation of Montserrat existing at some point. Here is the original GitHub source, and you may be able to ask the creators there: https://github.com/JulietaUla/Montserrat

The new Google Fonts: find what you’re looking for
The tool parent and sibling comment listed allows you to do basic subsetting [1], and generates the formats you need. If you do this more often, it is of course useful to learn how to do this yourself. A commonly used tool is pyftsubset, part of fonttools [2]

How to properly rescale SVG files for using in OTF-SVG files?
I know fontforge doesn't support OTF-SVG, but I'm actually using it for creating OTF-SVG from scratch. Is anyone willing to help me with this issue? https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools/discussions/3229

Retro Pixel Font - A new font and the intro of how to make it
In short, I draw glyphs in png and use python to build fonts (by https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools ). I agreed on some rules and then everything became simple. No required professional font editer.

Is there a font manager that lets you display/search for fonts that use OpenType features (smcp, etc.)?
If you have FontTools successfully installed, there is also a bundled script that's similar to what justinpenner's code does, without the built-in directories; you can find it at https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools/blob/main/Snippets/layout-features.py
- I created a language for font design using FontForge

Self-Hosting Fonts - No more excuses
What I like the most is that you can also download google-fonts and convert them automatically. Webfont-Kit-Generator uses fonttools (written in Python), that's pretty cool too.

How much do custom fonts affect an app size?
A drawback to icon fonts is that by default, you are carrying all of the glyphs in an icon font along for the ride. You can mitigate that by using a tool like fonttools to strip out the unused font glyphs.

Variable TTF Fonts with Three Axes in one file - Wght, wdth, and ital
If you're interested in learning more about how variable fonts work, I can point you to all sorts of tools and other resources. For example, fontTools includes a command line tool called ttx that converts any standard font format (ttf/otf/ttc/otc/woff/woff2) to a human-readable XML text file. You can also inspect variable and static fonts easily with online tools like Wakamai Fondue and Samsa.

Montserrat cyrillic issues?
If you want to look inside a font file, you can use the ttx command line tool (included with fontTools) to convert binary fonts to human-readable XML format. You can also open them in a font editor like FontForge or Glyphs if you want a GUI, but font editors may not show you everything that's inside the file.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Montserrat and fonttools you can also consider the following projects:
fonttools-opentype-feature-freezer - OTFeatureFreezer GUI app and pyftfeatfreeze commandline tool in Python to permanently "apply" OpenType features to fonts, by remapping their Unicode assignments
