Description

The typefaces chosen, while "open" in their use of an OFL (Open Font License) are missing several possible glyphs, accents, pairings, etc, that result in visual errors on names that aren't provided in the baseline glyphs many typefaces (and their font implementations) overlook due to their mostly western centric view of language.

Reproduction

  1. Utilize a character in copy, such as
  2. See how the typeface changes to another only for this character.

Expectation

All characters in copy shouldn't need to render in another typeface singularly, the typeface should have that glyph included.

Additional context

This is a known issue with fonts and typefaces, based on their history and passed considerations of "success".

Resolution

  • I would be interested in resolving this bug.
