Digit “3” is not displayed correctly in Libertinus Serif SemiBold

[Ransom77]

Hello,

the digit “3” is not displayed correctly in Libertinus Serif SemiBold: However, this phenomenon occurs in the “Unofficial version of Libertinus Serif” (7.052), not in the official version (7.040).

I like version 7.052 (much) better, because it does not list two extra fonts for the semibold variant in the font menu of a word processor, but only one (“SemiBold”) and the italic variant can be set by clicking the Italic button.

Regards Ransom

I cannot see it with lualatex:

By the way: the font names looks wrong to me:

bash-3.2$ otfinfo -i LibertinusSerif-SemBdIta.otf Family: Libertinus Serif SemiBold Subfamily: Italic Full name: Libertinus Serif SemBd Ita PostScript name: LibertinusSerif-SemBdIta

Should be Libertinus Serif SemiBold Italic LibertinusSerif-SemiboldItalic

Then any font manager like font spec for xe/lualatex Can find the fonts by its family name.

@Herbert

This is what the “3” looks like in LibreOffice Writer [v.7.3.7.2 (x64)].

You are absolutely right about the wrong font name. I have corrected it using FontForge in all layers (“PS Name”, “OS/2”, “TTF Names”) and attached the “correct” font here.

This seem to be a problem with @StefanPeev’s development branch, so this problem should probably be reported in his pull request (https://github.com/alerque/libertinus/pull/520).

@cionx @Ransom77 @hvoss49 I closed pull request #520 and I'll close also all updates on Libertinus Serif. The reason is that I started a project Common Serif which is further development of Libertinus Serif but with a lot of changes. The aim of the project is to create masters (Regular and Bold, Italic and Bold Italic), which to be compatible and by which we to have a chance to generate instances like this (Regular, Medium, SemiBold, Bold; Italic, Medium Italic, SemiBold Italic, Bold Italic). All this means a serious changes in the project, it is why I think we need a new start. If you like the idea, please, give your notices on Common Serif repo.

@cionx @Ransom77 @hvoss49 The problem is solved in v.1.001 of Common Serif.

Closing this since it is (was) not an issue in this repository's sources, but rather in (what is now) Common Serif; and in any case it's been fixed there. Thanks all for the updates!
