The font 'Lato' renders polish characters incorrectly when using font-weight 300 #326

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Import Lato from Google Web Fonts: <link 
href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:300,400,700' rel='stylesheet' 
type='text/css'>
2. Render some text with font-family set to 'Lato' and font-weigth set to '300'.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: All text should be rendered with the 'Lato'-font and a font-weight of 
300.
Actual: All ASCII characters are rendered correctly but all polish characters 
(such as ą ł & ń) are rendered bold. See attached pictures.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Windows 8.1 with latest Chrome, latest IE and latest Firefox.

Please provide any additional information below.
Downloading the original font files for 'Lato' and loading them locally renders 
all polish text correctly. When loading from Google Web Fonts it does not.

You can also see an example of the problem at 
http://www.latofonts.com/lato-free-fonts/ if you scroll down a bit. That site 
also imports the font from Google Web Fonts as an example for users.

A fix for this is in progress:

Does the 'update' text at the end of this file explain how to resolve the issue 
clearly?

That file is used to generate the www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Lato page.

The 'update' text is clear! Any idea of when this fix will be available?

This bug is also affecting other font weights.
