Tools for reporting bugs

Useful tools for reporting bugs are available at: https://github.com/googlei18n/

Harfbuzz hb-view and hb-shape

These are part of the HarfBuzz distribution and can help isolate if an issue is in the app/OS, shaping engine, or font.

hb-view renders the text with the exact font (for example, to see how ligatured characters shape) using your installed version of HarfBuzz.

For example:

  hb-view --font-file {path to font} --text-file {path to text file} --output-file '{sample}.png'

hb-shape shows glyph selection and positioning

Fontview

Fontview displays the text.

Fontdiff

Fontdiff displays the text using two versions of the font side by side.

@Ldweisser This is a really really old version. The latest version (including more weights) is at https://github.com/googlei18n/noto-fonts-alpha/tree/master/from-pipeline/unhinted

@marekjez86 Any idea when things like this will get updated on the main page at https://www.google.com/get/noto/ ?

marekjez86 commented 6 years ago

@punchcutter, @Ldweisser : https://www.google.com/get/noto/ will get the newest fonts (the ones from https://github.com/googlei18n/noto-fonts-alpha/tree/master/from-pipeline/unhinted ) , hopefully, this week (no later than next).

Unhinted? Shouldn't we run them through ttfautohint, so the text looks readable on Windows?

simoncozens commented 1 year ago

I think this is now fixed.
