Letter R changing on most browsers

[EdouardDLMT]

I uploaded the font on a Website and realised that it wasn't loading the same glyphs as the one showed in the google font website the " R " for instance has a curve to it ...

This is how it's supposed to look like :

But used on a website or even directly on the Google-Font page it changes (you can see here the first title isn't with the right "R"):

It can change from a browser to another, the screenshot bellow was taken from Google Chrome on Mac and the result is the same with Safari or even Firefox, you can see that it's not the right "R" :

The other screenshot was made on TorBrowser on Mac, the result is the same with Chrome on Windows but you can see that the letter " R " is the right one, exactly the same showed in the glyph presentation...

I tried hard Refresh to see if it was a cache issue or the Css not loading but it didn't change anything ... it seems to be an issue only with the letter "R".

I did not found anything on internet or any complain from anyone, but hope you will have an answer!

Best regards,

I’m pretty sure you have an old copy of Roboto somewhere in your computer; local fonts interfere with web fonts in various ways in different browsers.

@fitojb Perfect! I actually went in the font book and deactivated all the Roboto font and it worked!!

i'm new to Github, do I have to mark the post as resolved ?

Glad I could help! :)

Yep, please close it; this problem has been reported several times with different fonts, so I’m sure this thread can be considered a duplicate :)

(One would hope browser vendors would define a common behavior to implement in these cases, but…)
