Missing glyphs in IE9 #10

Closed rutger1140 closed 7 years ago

rutger1140 commented 8 years ago

Some glyphs seem to be missing in the Overpass Bold EOT file.

missing-letters-ie9-win7

So far I've found these: A Y V X

Could you please build that font variant again?

andyfitzsuse commented 8 years ago

This is a weird one. unfortunately I don’t test on IE9. Does this affect Microsoft's rebranded IE ? Edge or whatever it's called? Because if not, I'd rather expire EOT as a deprecated format than support and maintain files we can't test.

@DelveFonts what do you reckon ?

rutger1140 commented 8 years ago

I can confirm it only has issues on IE9. IE10 and above look fine. In the network inspector I see IE9 and IE10 both do use the same .eot files.

IE9 and IE10 side by side

On Stackoverflow I read it could have something todo with a "corruption in the conversion that IE can't handle".

I thought maybe a rebuild could fix this.

Thanks @lekkerduidelijk for bringing this to our attention. @andyfitz Edge does not support EOT. AFAIK, EOT's are only used by IE 8-11 with an estimated collective support globally at < 10%*.

Version 3.0 has been released and while the site still needs to be updated, I think this issue has been resolved.
