I tested that CSS out myself and it's working fine on both firefox and chrome. My guess is that your syntax is off and it's not applying what you've written to your text.

Can you include all of your CSS so we can have some context?

Well i think the problem was that i had google fonts on it. I downloaded the one from here and generated them with fontsquirels font-generator with alternate-options on expert mode and uploaded them with @font-face (is here somewhere maybe a font-web-kit? Would be cool 👍 )

btw will it work somehow with google-font-linking?

oh and maybe there is a possibility to have an alternate "U" too? like on futura? would be amazing too 👍

thx btw for the answer and all the work! great stuff <3<3<3

I have a problem. For example, when I generate the book variant it didn't want to generate it for me at Font-squirel. This is what i did: link On some Styles it works on some not. Iv tried turn off open type futures and open type Flattering or one off one on mixing still wount work. It works without but then the a is normal. How can i fix it?

here I made a test page: https://zumquadrat.org/font-test/ I dont get it :/ I dont really understand the quality of the font too it looks kinda diffrent to me the @font-face one and the one from Google. Its smoother and for text its kinda better hm... strange stuff?

Hi hello,

Thanks for including the test page. This is very helpful to me.

On that test page the versions that aren't displaying the alt "a" correctly don't have the alt "a"s in the font file, which means something is wrong with the font itself.

This either means when you're converting to woff something is going amiss, or something is wrong with the source files.

I have updated the indestructible type website with the latest builds of Jost. I have double checked to make sure the alternative "a" is there and correctly built. Here is a link.

Try building from that and if the problem persists then it's likely something on your end.

Thanks for your help and feedback.
