In setting up a VF, it is often the case that a spreadsheet is used to keep track of correspondences between a designer’s values (often measured in stem widths) and intended OpenType values, with arbitrary methods used to calculate or judge the correspondences.

Fencer would benefit from a textbox accepting input copied from a spreadsheet, accepting either 2-column (1-axis mappings) or 4-column (2-axis mappings). If 2 columns are received, then Fencer’s current X axis is used; if 4 columns are used, then Fencer’s current X and Y axes is used.

In this example, we have selected Weight on Fencer’s X axis, Width on Fencer’s Y axis, then wish to map various input values of Weight and Width to output values of Weight and Width.

Input X Input Y Output X Output Y
200 75 210 71
300 75 340 71
400 75 400 71
500 75 550 72
600 75 640 75
700 75 730 80
800 75 810 84
900 75 900 86

Copying directly from a spreadsheet, and Fencer handling the tab delimited data, is more convenient than editing XML by hand.
