Weird outlined glyphs - J, ) #57

This is a weird one I haven't seen before. But certain glyphs don't render properly at small size and just show their outline. Especially, uppercase Latin "J" and the right parathesis ")".

Zooming in to 175% does rectify the issue.

Thanks for letting me know! It seems there are multiple weird issues with outlines currently (e.g. #54), though I had been unable to reproduce them just yet. Having confirmation that this is happening across multiple setups is great.

I'm planning to look into these issues after setting up a compilation pipeline with fontmake, fontbakery, make, etc., as I think they might be caused by a bug with the export function of the font editor I'm using.

Thank you so much again!

I use the Brave browser with Darwin as the serif font if it helps in recreating the bug. 😀

I think it definitely helps! Thanks for letting me know :)

My bad, the left parathesis is broken instead of the left one.
