Barlow font broken? #94

Closed ianalexmac closed 1 month ago

There is this site for testing: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Barlow?preview.text=Alaska%20Center%20for%20Energy%20and%20Power

It doesn't look the same as what is in the PDF. An example: The capitol C is round in ours and has a straight back in the official page. Also the lower case f should be scrunched upward but ours is more symmetric.

Another reference: https://www.uaf.edu/universityrelations/guidelines/design/fonts.php which also has Barlow with a flat-backed C and scrunched up f.

This is Barlow in Font Book on my Mac:

But the PDF my Mac renders locally has the same font as the one rendered and posted in GitHub. So it isn't working in either space.

My guess is it is Latin Modern Sans: https://tug.org/FontCatalogue/latinmodernsans/

So it is reverting to a LaTeX default font? But I could not get the PDF to render without installing the Barlow font so it thinks it is doing one thing but subbing in something else later?

@jikaczmarski can you check my reasoning?
