Not working in Firefox

[o-t-w]

I am running Firefox Nightly (the newest version of the browser). Bungee is black and white in Chrome Canary and Safari Technology Preview (as expected). Unexpectedly, in Firefox Nightly Bungee isn't appearing at all, instead I get Times New Roman.

The font is generating some errors in the console:

downloadable font: Layout: DFLT script doesn't satisfy the spec. DefaultLangSys is NULL (font-family: "bungee" style:normal weight:normal stretch:normal src index:0) source: file:///Users/owo3732/rand/animate/BungeeColor-Regular_svg.woff unknown:11:15 downloadable font: Layout: Failed to parse script table 0 (font-family: "bungee" style:normal weight:normal stretch:normal src index:0) source: file:///Users/owo3732/rand/animate/BungeeColor-Regular_svg.woff unknown:11:15 downloadable font: GSUB: Failed to parse script list table (font-family: "bungee" style:normal weight:normal stretch:normal src index:0) source: file:///Users/owo3732/rand/animate/BungeeColor-Regular_svg.woff unknown:11:15 downloadable font: GSUB: Failed to parse table (font-family: "bungee" style:normal weight:normal stretch:normal src index:0) source: file:///Users/owo3732/rand/animate/BungeeColor-Regular_svg.woff unknown:11:15 downloadable font: rejected by sanitizer (font-family: "bungee" style:normal weight:normal stretch:normal src index:0) source: file:///Users/owo3732/rand/animate/BungeeColor-Regular_svg.woff

Love the font btw!

Hi again Oliver! I can duplicate this issue...it seems as if OpenType Sanitiser is not the biggest fan of the most recent version of BungeeColor.

ERROR: Layout: DFLT script doesn't satisfy the spec. DefaultLangSys is NULL

I’m not sure why this used to work and no longer does.

I’ve started a branch with a previous version of Bungee that Firefox seems to think is okay. But Photoshop doesn’t seem to like that one, so I’m not gonna merge it yet. I’ll leave this issue open while I try to sort out the root cause, and in the mean time you can go to the color-font-ots branch and try those files.

It looks like something went wrong while optimising the fonts. I still have to dive deeper into what exactly mangled the GSUB table.

In the mean time I checked out the color-font-ots branch. When selecting Bungee, Photoshop freezes — is that what you're experiencing, @djrrb? The font works in Illustrator and Firefox, though!

Yup. 😭

I was hoping to add some variants to this à la Trajan Color Concepts, so I wonder if it makes sense to try generating a fresh version. I am under a few deadlines this month but will try to give it a shot!

I am pretty sure this issue is obsolete with the recent releases, but it would be great if someone could check.

[RoelN]

Newest version loads without problem in Firefox 127.0.2 on a fresh Mac (BungeeSpice-Regular.ttf and BungeeTint-Regular.ttf). They're black-and-white in Photoshop, but they do load.

What color support does Photoshop claim to have?

• BungeeTint-Regular: good old COLRv0, does not contain an SVG fallback
• BungeeSpice-Regular: COLRv1, does contain an SVG fallback

[RoelN]

As far as I know, they only support Adobe's OT-in-SVG, no COLR at all. So the SVG fallback doesn't seem to be triggered for BungeeTint-Regular in Photoshop!

[justvanrossum]

BungeeTint does not contain an SVG fallback, so I'm afraid that one is expected to not work in Photoshop.

But BungeeSpice does, and you say that's also not working, right?

[RoelN]

Sorry yeah, both are black and white in Photoshop!

[djrrb]

Confirming this is also the case for me in Photoshop and Illustrator 2024

Would love to have working SVG versions in the Release, even if they aren’t part of the Google Fonts distribution

[justvanrossum]

I opened an issue on the nanoemoji repo, of which the "maximum_color" tool is a part, which builds the SVG fallback: https://github.com/googlefonts/nanoemoji/issues/469
