FontBureau profile for checks on proposed new variation axes
See original GitHub issueI have just had a nice videocall with Mirko (@bghryct) in which he told me he’s interested in implementing FontBakery checks for the new variation axes proposed here: https://variationsguide.typenetwork.com/
I believe that we can use the same strategy that we’re using for the gf-axis-registry checks by employing textproto files for those axes. But I would place these new axes on a separate profile (Mirko suggested to call it the fontbureau
profile). If these axes are added to the GFAxisRegistry in the future, it would then be super easy to migrate the textproto files into the googlefonts
profile.

. There are already some other textprotos in there.@bghryct, please post here the contents of a textproto file for at least one of the newly proposed axes. The structure of such textproto files can be seen here: https://github.com/google/fonts/tree/fa38f09d14b5c976a5b0c140cdfbc562023fc38e/axisregistry
