Description
In addition to VTT, Microsoft also has a font development tool called VOLT (Visual OpenType Layout Tool). Its last release was in 2015, and for whatever reason it doesn't work on Linux+Wine after installation (the app starts, but fails to open fonts). Please consider open-sourcing VOLT as well.
I know this is not the right place to ask, but I couldn't find a more suitable place. Sorry.
