IstokWeb Italic and BoldItalic are identical #193

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Look at IstokWeb Italic and IstokWeb BoldItalic
2. Notice that the fonts are not different.
3. Use FontForge or other software to compare the font files, and see that they 
only differ in font names.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I would expect two separate variants of a font to be visually different. This 
is not the case; the two fonts are identical beyond the font name. Comparing to 
Bold, it would seem that BoldItalic has not been bolded, and thus should be 
either fixed or removed.

This still has not been resolved; see screenshot.

upstream ( https://code.google.com/p/istok/ ) releases ( 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/istok/files/ ) do _not_ appear to have this 
problem; however, since the google font page says "this 'Web' version has 
modified vertical metrics." it's not clear to me how complex the fix will be.

in any case, a response from the GWF team would be nice, so… bump!
