Bump fonttools from 4.59.0 to 4.60.0

[dependabot]

Bumps fonttools from 4.59.0 to 4.60.0.

Release notes

Sourced from fonttools's releases.

4.60.0

• [pointPen] Allow reverseFlipped parameter of DecomposingPointPen to take a ReverseFlipped enum value to control whether/how to reverse contour direction of flipped components, in addition to the existing True/False. This allows to set ReverseFlipped.ON_CURVE_FIRST to ensure that the decomposed outline starts with an on-curve point before being reversed, for better consistency with other segment-oriented contour transformations. The change is backward compatible, and the default behavior hasn't changed (#3934).

• [filterPen] Added ContourFilterPointPen, base pen for buffered contour operations, and OnCurveStartPointPen filter to ensure contours start with an on-curve point (#3934).

• [cu2qu] Fixed difference in cython vs pure-python complex division by real number (#3930).

• [varLib.avar] Refactored and added some new sub-modules and scripts (#3926).

  • varLib.avar.build module to build avar (and a missing fvar) binaries into a possibly empty TTFont,
  • varLib.avar.unbuild module to print a .designspace snippet that would generate the same avar binary,
  • varLib.avar.map module to take TTFont and do the mapping, in user/normalized space,
  • varLib.avar.plan module moved from varLib.avarPlanner.

  The bare fonttools varLib.avar script is deprecated, in favour of fonttools varLib.avar.build (or unbuild).

• [interpolatable] Clarify linear_sum_assignment backend options and minimal dependency usage (#3927).

• [post] Speed up build_psNameMapping (#3923).

• [ufoLib] Added typing annotations to fontTools.ufoLib (#3875).

4.59.2

• [varLib] Clear USE_MY_METRICS component flags when inconsistent across masters (#3912).
• [varLib.instancer] Avoid negative advance width/height values when instatiating HVAR/VVAR, (unlikely in well-behaved fonts) (#3918).
• [subset] Fix shaping behaviour when pruning empty mark sets (#3915, harfbuzz/harfbuzz#5499).
• [cu2qu] Fixed dot() product of perpendicular vectors not always returning exactly 0.0 in all Python implementations (#3911)
• [varLib.instancer] Implemented fully-instantiating avar2 fonts (#3909).
• [feaLib] Allow float values in VariableScalar's axis locations (#3906, #3907).
• [cu2qu] Handle special case in calc_intersect for degenerate cubic curves where 3 to 4 control points are equal (#3904).

4.59.1

• [featureVars] Update OS/2.usMaxContext if possible after addFeatureVariationsRaw (#3894).
• [vhmtx] raise TTLibError('not enough data...') when hmtx/vmtx are truncated (#3843, #3901).
• [feaLib] Combine duplicate features that have the same set of lookups regardless of the order in which those lookups are added to the feature (#3895).
• [varLib] Deprecate varLib.mutator in favor of varLib.instancer. The latter provides equivalent full (static font) instancing in addition to partial VF instancing.
  CLI users should replace fonttools varLib.mutator with fonttools varLib.instancer. API users should migrate to fontTools.varLib.instancer.instantiateVariableFont (#2680).
