Hi, thanks for reporting this.
I can’t replicate the bug on my machine (Mac OS 10.14.6) whatever the browser I use.
Can you give more details about:
Browser:
Google Chrome - version 85.0.4183.121
OS:
Windows 10 - version 1909 - Build 18363.1082
The screenshot is from the printing preview only. This is a problem I have spotted both in Chrome and Edge. In Firefox and Opera, I do not have this problem.
Unfortunately my printer is not cooperating at the moment, but if I save the document in PDF, I still get the weirdly bold font. See here: Oswald-GoogleFonts(Chrome).pdf Oswald-GoogleFonts(Firefox).pdf
I'd like to also add that if I use the font locally in ttf, I do not seem to have that problem.
Update: the printer cooperated. It does seem to print out the weirdly bold font as well (printed from Chrome).
Thanks. Can you try with another variable font, a recent one, like Piazzolla ?
On macOS 10.15.7, I can't reproduce the problem:
Looks like that's it. It doesn't render correctly either.

Same in Edge. Perhaps this is a Chromium problem?
Same result using Skia/PDF m86, Chrome internal PDF engine: https://github.com/google/fonts/files/5354036/Oswald.-.Google.Fonts.-.Chrome.86.0.4240.75.Skia.m86.pdf
Merci Thomas. No problem on my side on Mojav, same Chrome, skia/PDF 86m. Oswald - Google Fonts.pdf
Edit: OK, my mistake. Chrome 86 = Skia/PF m86.
@Nazrinn, if your main goal is to be able to print from the browser, probably safer for now to use self-hosted static TTF. If you wanted a custom instance you can export it with axis-praxis/samsa, or using fonttools.
@thlinard, no issues with Opera using Skia/PDF m85
Ah. And I thought I could have it easy by just exporting Google Fonts. I haven't heard of the two other tools. I think I'll stick to local fonts for now for the sake of compatibility since I assume a fix won't come out globally any time soon. Thanks for the tips tough @RosaWagner!
@RosaWagner: you're right, I corrected my comments. Definitively a Windows problem, not a Mac one.
Hi! I am currently using Oswald on a website meant to be printed (it's my resume). However, I have noticed Oswald doesn't render the font weight it was assigned to in CSS no matter what. This is a problem I have found on the Google Fonts website as well, as demonstrated here.
Web page view:
When trying to print the page:
Because of this, I am thinking this might be a problem related to the font itself.
Has anybody any idea of why that is and on how to fix it? This seem to be an issue only with Oswald.
Thanks!
