ttx: is creating empty XML files necessary?
See original GitHub issueI often (sometimes) run into the following scenario:
$ ttx -t os/2 font.otf
Dumping "font.otf" to "font.ttx"...
No 'os/2' table found.
$ ttx -t os_2 font.otf
Dumping "font.otf" to "font#1.ttx"...
No 'os_2' table found.
$ ttx -t OS/2 font.otf
Dumping "font.otf" to "font#2.ttx"...
Dumping 'OS/2' table...
In total, three files are created, two of them empty. This is of course a result of user error – but I wonder if it would make sense to just not create a ttx file in scenarios 1 & 2?
