The update features:

@davelab6 @jimmac I guess you probably know if this is correct and can review this? :)

davelab6 commented 9 years ago

We can't just remove the italic files; nor can we update the romans to add more glyphs without also updating the italics to match.

Since Cantarell is genuinely popular, I'm hoping to arrange for expanding it to resolve these blocking issues. In the mean time, https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Cambay is available with much of the updated design.

davelab6 commented 9 years ago

Oh! This is for the opensourcedesign org, not the google org :) The 'fonts' repo name had me fooled for a moment. Sure, updating this here is good :)

jancborchardt commented 9 years ago

Should we rather replace Cantarell with Cambay then? Also cc @anexasajoop

If the lack of oblique is the only obstruction standing in the way of updating Cantarell on google fonts, I'll see about generating it using FF.

davelab6 commented 9 years ago

It also needs glyph parity :(

anexasajoop commented 9 years ago

I'm busy till the middle of next month, but after than I can look over what needs to be done for glyph parity, in terms adding glyphs from one version to another, or resizing them, if that helps.

davelab6 commented 9 years ago

Thanks Pooja!

Sadly I don't believe the v1.0 approach of obliquing the Roman and tweaking a few glyphs will suffice for Cyrillic.

anexasajoop commented 9 years ago

A proper italic for Cantarell would be so great!

fitojb commented 8 years ago

Since no one cares to follow up and merge…

simonv3 commented 8 years ago

@fitojb looking at the above conversation I don't think no one cared to follow up, maybe life just happened. I wasn't paying attention to this PR so I'm not sure what was originally proposed, but it did look like there was some interest!

davelab6 commented 8 years ago

I agree. Pooja are you interested to do this detailing work?
