ReMapping — production log

ReMapping manuals · Production log ← Implementation requests Rendering guide →

The running notebook for ReMapping productions: the commands used to start one, the questions still open, the music references collected for the soundtrack, and the issue list — open issues above, fixed issues below, each with the date it changed state. Tick boxes here are live; ticking one in the browser rewrites this file.

In one line. Two open cases (outline on text, tracking on math), two fixed issues (framing outline, Camera3D quality), and the setup commands that start every new production.

Production setup

The manual for this folder

The folder manual has to exist in two languages, and both need writing:

Tracking value

For the intended use case, the tracking setting is:

tracking=-0.05

Why negative. A small negative tracking pulls the glyphs slightly together, which is what the typeface wants at display sizes. Whether it behaves the same way over mathematical content is exactly the open question in §2.2.

Creating a new production

cd ~/Documents/Remapping
source .venv/bin/activate
uv run remapping production new productions/my-film --id my-film

Then run the cheap checks before rendering anything — production validate, film inspect, then a single still. The full sequence is in the rendering guide.


Open cases

These are questions, not tasks: something needs to be looked at before it is clear whether there is any work to do.

Outline on text

to check

The framing outline itself was fixed (§5.1) — this is about whether that fix also holds when the framed object is a text object rather than a shape.

Tracking on math

to check

tracking=-0.05 (§1.2) is tuned for prose. Mathematical layout sets its own inter-glyph spacing, so applying prose tracking on top of it may be wrong, harmless, or actively damaging — it has not been tested.

Open issues

Unresolved technical issues go here. Give each one a date, a status badge, and enough description that it can be picked up cold.

Issues fixed

Framing outline

fixed   16 Aug 2026, 11:42 CET

The framing outline issue has been fixed. Whether it also behaves on text objects is still open — see §2.1.
