Cousine-Regular.ttf does not contain latin glyphs, causing fallback to Cousine-Bold.ttf #232

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install latest Cousine-Regular.ttf 
(https://code.google.com/p/googlefontdirectory/source/browse/apache/cousine/Cous
ine-Regular.ttf) on any (Linux) OS

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Use the font anywhere, you will always get the bold style when asking regular. 
Using "fc-match Cousine:style=regular" also returns the bold style.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Arch Linux x64

Please provide any additional information below.
Upon further inspection, the bold style seems to be selected due to the absence 
of most Latin glyphs from the regular style. The same effect can be noticed on 
the google webfonts preview website, bold and regular look the same and are in 
fact both bold: http://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Cousine

Problem confirmed on Mac OS X as well, although here only the glyphs missing 
from the regular style are bold. (See attached file)

Steps to reproduce: Install Cousine-Regular.ttf and try to use it/open a web 
site that uses it.

Ditto confirmed on Mac OS X.  Downloading the family and installing using the 
Mac Fontbook app, display the Repertoire, the bold, italic, and bold-ital 
versions have each 100s of glyphs, but cousine-regular has only a basic Latin-1 
set. This makes the entire font package basically useless.

Note I have also downloaded the Cousine package from several different "free 
font" websites and all had this same issue: limited glyphs in the regular font.

I correct myself: obtained Cousine from the Ubuntu 14.10 repository into an 
Ubuntu system and in this version, Cousine Regular contains a full set of 
glyphs same as the other variants.
