@w__h_ my hunch was that it comes from typewriters, and indeed I found these examples in manufacturers (Ransmayer & Rodrian) catalogs from 1928 and 1940. There is no description for the different kinds of fractions, unfortunately.

We've released v0.11 of vfbLib!
What began as a reverse engineering project in 2022 now has had a kind of official blessing from Yuri Yarmola of FontLab, who generously let me have a look at his original VFB code.
I am very grateful, for this has shed light on some intricacies of the format I would probably never have figured out on my own.

Is there a best practice around setting up a modern Python module repo with pyproject.toml, uv, linting, tox, pytest, coverage, GitHub actions ...? There are so many different approaches, I'm struggling to bring it all together. #Python #GitHub #astral_uv #tox
