OpenType features do not work (Missing OTF in Google Fonts package)

[keikhcheung]

Take a look at the Space Grotesk website itself and scroll down to the section demonstrating the OpenType features.

It seems that this problem originates from Google Fonts. Only TTF fonts are included in the package hosted there.

Yeah it seems it's a Google Fonts issue. We can fix the presentation site by linking to the static version but this also probably means the stylistic sets are broken for anyone using Google Fonts.

Temporarily fixed as described above, will check later if it's somehow possible to use OT features with GF loaded fonts.

Will that Google Fonts issue be resolved? I would like to use the GFonts instead of static files but need to change the stylistic sets.

I don't know, we can't fix it on our side. But this may be a good place to ask 👉 https://github.com/google/fonts/issues/1335

Oh, thought a wrong version was uploaded :D

Thank you for a quick reply!

Is this still an unresolved issue?

Loading the font from GF gives me the optimisation that I need but it doesn't have a lot of glyphs like →.

While loading it from a static file gives me all the glyphs that I need but at the cost of some layout shift caused by lack of loading optimisation.

To be more clear. I'm using Next.js to build my website and it does a great job at optimising web font loading, but that only works with fonts coming from GF and Typekit. Locally loaded fonts don't get the same treatment.
