I want the Old J and Q back too. Thanks for the issue.

The character Q still remains the same. The curly-tailed Q is accessible via cv feature.

Or maybe default J with stem and without stem as a CV

@nashpatty Yes. I'll add it in one of the next updates.

@nashpatty Yes. I'll add it in one of the next updates.

@philippnurullin upon further thought, I think the new armless J should be the cv. This way the NL version of the font still has the J with the arm. The justification is that after prolonged use with the new J, it optically looks like its leaning to the right, and looks a little hollow. The arm balanced the position of the letter.

@nashpatty Yes. I'll add it in one of the next updates.

Sorry to ask, but it's been nearly one year since this issue was addressed. Is this still in progress? And when can we get the old J back?
