Some cyrillic fonts don't work
Some fonts (containing Cyrillic characters) do not change Cyrillic characters.
Fonts: Yuji Syuku Rampart One DotGothic16 Train One Stick (maybe others too)
- OS: Windows 10
- Browser: Firefox
Hi, I've just checked and the font controls are working as expected. Trying the fonts you list works fine in my tests:
This looks like a local issue on your system. Can you check to see if something is preventing access to https://fonts.google.com/ on your system? nightTab connects to fonts.google.com to use fonts.
There is no problem with ASCII. The problem with the Cyrillic alphabet.
Screenshot with "Test Проверка" :
The website shows that Cyrillic is supported. Proof:
I've run some tests and I'm not sure why this is happening. I'll investigate and see what I can do.
I've investigated and am finding a lot of inconsistency on font support. This project uses typekit webfontloader to load fonts.
Using Rampart One as an example font. webfontloader loads all of the subsets:
Even so, the browser does not seem to render the appropriate glyphs for a given unicode character. But will for others. See Ж vs 言語:
I've tested this with many cyrillic and japanese fonts. There might be a bug with webfontloader or the font might not be set up in a way to work as expected. I've exhausted all the avenues of investigation and do not know how to remedy this.
This is sad news. It is a sad that no solution has been found. I am glad that at least some fonts work ... for the time being ...
