Possibilities for implementing 'wdth' axis

[KrasnayaPloshchad]

Prerequisites

• If you are reporting an issue that affects glyphs for characters for a particular region or regions, did you verify that the characters are within the supported scope of the region or regions? This generally means GB 18030 or Tōngyòng Guīfàn Hànzìbiǎo (通用规范汉字表) for China, Big Five or CNS 11643 Planes 1 & 2 for Taiwan, HKSCS-2016 for Hong Kong, JIS X 0208, JIS X 0212, and JIS X 0213 for Japan, and KS X 1001 and KS X 1002 for Korea.
• Did you thoroughly search the open and closed issues to avoid reporting a duplicate issue?
• Did you go through the official font readme file to better understand the scope of the project, to include the Known Issues section at the very end?

Description

The 'wdth' axis used to make text width wider or narrower. With this axis it's possible to make this font reproduce this effect, and make it possible to make text shorter, or reproduce some artistic look from Adobe software. I’ve already seen some instances for this:

Fig 1. Hangul syllable in different widths.

This can be seen from this source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Foundation_ceremony_of_the_Korean_People's_Army.jpg

Fig 2. Kanji in different widths.

I saw a developer written Tategaki plug-in for GIMP, and he posted various sample to illustrate, in this case you can see the effect with 縦長 and 横長 words. Source: http://reddog.s35.xrea.com/wiki/?GIMP%E3%81%A7%E7%B8%A6%E6%9B%B8%E3%81%8D#w7b8e72b
