Thanks a lot for the supportive and kind words, Martin! I'll surely give it a second chance soon. I gotta say that I'm pretty psyched about the new OpenType Variable Fonts technology, so I'd love to help make it happen on Inkscape at some point.
happy hacking, Felipe Sanches

Hi Felipe,
Don't worry about getting stressed out with the Inkscape code base. It's really big, and parts of it like text are the most intricate. Some of that is there because it deals with a lot of features and/or formatting of svg.
Take a break, have a breather. It might take another deep delve at the coal face when you feel positive about learning a bunch of things and being prepared to move the code towards refactoring if necessary.
Good luck!
Best Regards, Martin Owens

I've hit a roadblock / mental exhaustion from dealing with (banging my head against) the Inkscape codebase, so I think it is very much wiser to switch gears at the moment and do some FontBakery work again for a while. And possibly get back to Inkscape later for a fresh restart. I'll take a look now at what's pending on the issue tracker for FontBakery that may be safe to work on regardless of Lasse's upcoming PR.
