cardo: poor rendering on OS X #5

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. load http://dev.l-c-n.com/CSS3_font-face/cardo.html which links to
   http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Cardo
2. look at the underlined strings with green background
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
* the green background should span the whole height of the text (all
browsers), instead, the green background only spans the top part of the string
This indicates to me that something is wrong inside the font.

* in gecko 1.9.2 (Firefox 3.6+) the underline looks more like a
strike-through) (in Gecko, text-decoration depends on font-metrics,
where-as in WebKit, it is generic; that explains the difference).

* selecting (part of) the text in webkit also shows the issue (the
selection is shifted upwards.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
tested on OS X 10.6 and 10.5, various browsers.
Linux browsers (Ubuntu10.4) handle this correctly

Please provide any additional information below.

I first notice the issue here: http://www.xanthir.com/:wih

After reporting the issue above, I went to the authors website:
http://scholarsfonts.net/cardofnt.html
and noticed a newer version: Cardo99s.ttf.

hg pull -uv on my local repo of the googlefonts and then noticed that the font 
has
also been updated. I did need to clear my font-caches locally to see the 
difference,
though.

Issue can be resolved as fixed or workforme.

We haven't pushed the newest version of the font to production yet but plan to 
soon. It does seem like it fixes the 
problem.

This is still an issue that has not been fixed. I can confirm that on Firefox 
12, on Mac OS X, the underline still looks like a strike-through.
