Colon spacing around r: v: w: x: y:

Open wally-crunk opened this issue 1 year ago β€’ 4 comments

There seems to be plenty of spacing, at word endings, when the letter a: is followed by a colon, but the letters r: v: w: x: y: actually touch the colon. Is this the design intent? This seems to be an error in spacing-- it would be nice if this could be corrected so that these letters have similar spacing around colons, as the letters in the first half of the alphabet have.

coloo

Everything else about the design is so nice! Thank you for the opportunity to leave feedback!

I’ve noticed as well, so +1 to that. Would actually be nice to fix that and publish an update to the Google Fonts version as well. πŸ™

Hello! Thank you very much for the message. It looks like the colon and semicolon were in the wrong kern group. I already corrected the Glyphs files.

@yanone Hi Jan! Would it be possible to update the fonts? πŸ™

Wow, thanks for fixing it so fast! πŸ™Œ

Once everything is completed, can you please also create a new release here on the GitHub repo? πŸ™ That helps our team to keep track of the existing versions (and ideally what’s changed).

@yanone Thanks again for taking care of the Google Fonts merge. I’ve noticed that the linked PR is merged now. πŸ₯³ Do you know how long that will take to show up on the Google Fonts website?

Also, do you mind creating a new version on this repo here, to better document these latest state. That would be highly appreciated! πŸ™

@alexanderkaessner The new version is in the second of the two staging servers for testing, going live is the next step. It should happen this week or next week.

As I'm not a maintainer of this repository, I can't help with releasing a version here. My job is to onboard fonts to Google Fonts. Sorry.

Awesome, thanks for the info!

Alright, I guess I should ping @solmatas for that then? πŸ™
