URI friendly variable font filenames #244

Closed pkra closed 1 year ago

pkra commented 1 year ago

A tiny silliness but I stumbled over it once again so perhaps others have, too.

The filenames for the variable font files currently require URI escaping (due to [ and ]). While this is mostly healed by user agents, it can cause issues.

The variable font filenames are in a format specified by Google Fonts. I’ll direct their attention to this issue. Can you provide more specific details of the problem as it affects particular user agents?

Ah, thanks for clarifying.

No need.

It's not a technical issue as such. If a user references the fonts correctly (i.e., URI escapes), everything is fine. If they don't, it's mostly fine. Most users won't notice there's a problem even if authors forget about it.
