Serve lato cyrillic variant for "ru" locale
The version of Lato we serve only has Latin characters, so, if you don't have the complete Lato variant installed locally, here's what you see with the "ru" locale:
We can probably have a variant of the font that we serve only for the ru locale.
This will come in handy for when we have to ship https://www.google.com/get/noto/help/cjk/ ;)
I see there's an extended latin version of lato to download, is that the variant that has the needed characters?
From http://www.latofonts.com/lato-free-fonts/ :
The ZIP contains two subfolders: Lato and LatoLatin. The Lato subfolder contains webfonts with the complete character set (250−700 KB per font) while the LatoLatin subfolder contains smaller versions that only include the most important glyphs for European Latin-based languages (75−200 KB per font). We do not provide support or instructions how to install these fonts on your website!
I would assume "LatoLatin" is what we currently have and "Lato" is the full thing with Cyrillic, Greek, etc.
Seems like Lato font is fixed now, thanks! But, just so you are aware, fonts available for game pages don't work well. Serif, Sans-serif, Pixel fonts have the same problem, see:
Anonymous Pro, Lato, and custom Google fonts (supporting Cyrillic) seem to be fine.
The issue still remains on the game jam page
Indeed, it seems game jam pages miss the --itchio_default_font
CSS variable.
