News Cycle font (normal, not bold) is suddenly mashed #127

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
- Just trying to use the font simply as per attached news.html.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- The font has worked beautiful for weeks. Now suddenly the letters vary in 
size and shape and thickness.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
- The 'normal' (not 'bold') version of News Cycle, on Windows 7. 

Additional Information
- It's mashed in all the browsers I've tried (FireFox, IE9, Chrome).

Thanks.

Yes, we have the same problem here on our website, using the news cycle normal. 
The bold version looks fine.

Having the same problem as well. I have a new website, and it was working fine 
until today. I'm viewing on a Mac, through Chrome, Firefox 11, and Safari. Only 
News Cycle affected. See attached.

FWIW, code for News Cycle--shows "normal" rather than "400". Would be great if 
this issue could be reviewed and addressed. Thanks.

Having the same problem (with Firefox, Chrome and Opera, at least).

A freshly FontSquirreled local version of the font works fine.

Sorry about this, a FontForge bug mishandled the latin subset file. I fixed 
this with 
http://code.google.com/p/googlefontdirectory/source/detail?r=90de81f0047a3901d26
0a8e8e5522a98c15b7bb0 and it should go to production servers tomorrow 
2012-04-10 in the morning California time

Thanks. Looks much better, but now the dots on lowercase i's and j's seem to 
have been misplaced.

i'm having exactly the same problem with that font. i managed to make it work 
for a while, after changing the font-url and setting it back again... maybe 
that really helped or google fixed it

I'm having the same problem with the dots on the lowercase i and j, even just 
created a new page from scratch and the problem still persists.

Is there any plan for this to get fixed? I see this issued was closed and 
marked as fixed on April 9 but the problem with the dots on the lower case 
letters is still there, I've regenerated the code from Google and that doesn't 
fix the problem, see http://allegoriesandexperiences.com/ and 
http://gagliostro.com/

i's and j's okay on Chrome, Safari, and Firefox on Mac / iPhone. Took a look at 
your sites and they seem to render fine too. Since I've gone back to using News 
Cycle on my site, curious to know what browser / system you're using and still 
seeing this problem.

I'm seeing almost the opposite of #10.

I just tested an array of browsers locally and on BrowserStack. Every browser I 
tested on Mac (local and remote via BrowserStack) had messed up i's and j's. 
Opera, Chrome, Safari, Firefox.

Every other platform I tested was okay: Windows, iOS, Android, Opera Mobile.

I'm using a Mac (OS X 10.6.8), tested on Chrome 18.0.1025.162, Safari 5.1.5 and 
Firefox 11.0. Have flushed caches and restarted. (And iOS are fine for me as 
well.) One site is a single page, code straight from Google; the other site is 
Drupal and code is generated by a module. I really really like this font after 
spending hours looking at all sans-serifs so I don't want to switch. And 
switching to the FontSquirrel version doesnt' seem an ideal solution.

Hello everyone. I am sorry I made a mistake when updating News Cycle to add a 
bold, somehow FontForge got confused and didn't include half the glyphs in the 
Latin subset, and I didn't catch this in my QA before pushing it. When I fixed 
this I introduced a regression that made the 'i' dots 'fall down' and I have 
finally fixed this. The fix should be fully propagated in 48 hours.
