"Y" default kerning

Open dasgutkiddo opened this issue 3 years ago • 6 comments

Certain mostly capital letters have kerning set incorrectly, where the letter will hug one letter in a word. This is most prominent in words like "Your" or in most cases were a capital "Y" is the start of a word and followed by lowercase letters. Examples can be found on this website that is currently using Gantari: https://www.pella.com/shop/windows/casement/?options=Products=Windows|product-type=casement

The Yo does appear to be too tight. This animated GIF shows kerning being toggled On and Off:

for a while you can use the pre-release version of Gantari

confirming this is an issue for me too. It's a great typeface! my client picked it for their brand and now we are having issues in our design and development phase

also confirming that the pre-release has fixed the issue after we used an @font-face embed of the pre-release instead of google fonts.

Any update if this will be fixed for the Google Fonts release? My project can only use fonts available via Google and I would love to use this font, but the capital letter kerning is the only thing holding me back.
