might be problem: font-feature-settings with Open Sans webfont in Win7 IE 10/11 no text problem #4

Sorry I did not check yet if your "lib" will trigger this problem too but I guess it does.

Original ticket at Microsoft is here: https://connect.microsoft.com/IE/feedback/details/831964/font-feature-settings-with-open-sans-webfont-in-win7-ie-10-11-no-text-problem

It only occured for "Open Sans" for me but there may be other font that trigger this which basically destroys the page completely, somehow in IE10/Win7 only.

So this may not be a problem your code should prevent but maybe a note on the front page to look out for this possible problem would make sense.

I appreciate you bringing this for bringing it to my attention! I ran my tests on IE10 on Win7 and this library seems to work okay, it’s something specific to Open Sans through Google Fonts. I’ve signed up to keep an eye on it. Thanks for opening an issue.

Glad this may help. Funny enough my ticket at Microsoft got commented on just now, or was it you?

Great idea btw, this project 😃

Thanks for your help on this, @cthedot. Yes, it was me—I’m going to make sure to keep an eye on the bug on the MS tracker, and have documented it in the README in the meantime.
