Amatic is incorrectly displaying the question mark in the bold version #93

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Choose Amatic font
2. Type a question mark in the "Preview Text" input
3. Select "See all styles"

You're supposed to see a question mark in the bold version, instead I see a (R) 
registered symbol.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Chrome 15.0.874.106 on OS X 10.7
but is the same in Safari.

Please provide any additional information below.
Amatic font is not locally installed.

Not just in the preview, also when using the font in a webpage

It's a problem in the actual font file. The bold face doesn't have a question 
mark, but to (R) symbols.

Any developments on this? We're having the same problem with Google Amatic.

Hi again Guys, Any news about this yet??
I really like the font and wouldn't like to have to find another for the 
website I'm working on.

Also, this is secondary but I thought you'd want to know, Amatic doesn't print 
from firefox.

This issue is over 18 months old! Please fix this now urgently Google.

The website I'm working on is now finished and about to be published.
Should I switch to a different font?
All the head lines mu client wrote are questions, I really would need this 
fixed. PLEASE, I love this font!

I am experiencing the same issue as reported above. Both the question mark and 
the upside-down question mark are mapped to the reserved symbol. Do you accept 
patches? If so, I can probably add these glyphs to the font.

It's a problem in the actual font file. The typography in Bold or regular 
doesn't have a euro mark. I addore Amatic but i need this symbol!!

Would love to see this fixed too.

A very ugly workaround: use jquery to wrap a span round all question marks, 
then apply the regular version of Amatic via css. 

See http://www.chameleoncopywriting.com/index.php/en/services

But really, we shouldn't have to...

Is this likely to be fixed any time soon? It has been over a year since it was 
first reported and seems like it should involve just a quick fix to the font 
file.

No seriously...I don't know if Google is paying attention, but one way to 
get-around is change the question mark to regular/non-bold, and if that's too 
wimpy then try adding a 1px shadow. :)

Thank you for your attention I'm about to look for a different font as my 
website looks pretty bad!

There aro more issues than just the question mark as you can see.

Just keeping this issue on the radar. Any further news on when we can expect a 
fix for this font's question mark bug - makes the font pretty unusable at the 
moment?

Same problem here- I use it on my blog and had to change to the non-bold 
version (which is hard to see in Safari) because of the question mark issue. 
Please fix!

Re: #39 (Label: ask-designer)
This issue has been fixed by the font author, but has not been merged into 
google fonts. You can find the updated font file on the competing service 
font-squirrel.

From google+

urgh. Yes, the issue with Amatic was originally fixed over 6 months ago & 
shipped to google x3. No idea why they have failed to update it again & again. 
It's a pain :-(

For those of you stumbling upon this post look for "Amatic" and NOT "Amatic 
SC", "Amatic SC" has issues, "Amatic" appears to be OK.
