Title

https://www.google.com/get/noto/#sans-ital Also pre-installed in macOS Catalina, my current OS, at: /System/Library/Fonts/Supplemental/NotoSansOldItalic-Regular.ttf Date: 2021-06-01 (preferred format)

Font Version

Version 2.000;GOOG;noto-source:20170915:90ef993387c0 The version obtained at Github says "Version 2.002"

OS name and version

Application name and version

Doesn't apply.

Issue

  1. Steps to reproduce Download from here: https://www.google.com/get/noto/#sans-ital
  2. Observed results The installed font coming from the Google official website (or preinstalled in the latest macOS operative systems) displays different characters from those expected.
  3. Expected results Whether you prefer one or another scripts or writing systems, I think this font should be consistent with the Unicode representation, as it is used worldwide to represent different writing systems which are NOT equal, so different people will see different glyphs depending on the installed version of "Noto Sans Old Italic"
  4. Additional information The fonts obtained at Github are OK: https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-fonts/tree/master These aren't mirrored, wrong characters are fixed, etc.

macOS Monterey now ships Old Italic 2.002, and the Noto web site has been updated to the latest versions.
