Using the css stylesheet:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" 
href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Nobile">

The font always displays as italic:

Hi!

Molengo seems to have problems with some Firefox Versions.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Firefox 3.5.10, Win XP SP3
2. font-size: 14px

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Instead of seeing an "ä" sometimes the dots are missing so you only see an "a"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I'm including the font via "http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Molengo"
On most other systems, even with a similar environment, the "ä" is rendered 
correctly.

Thank you for your great work.

Viewing the family overview page defaults to Cyrillic regardlessly (this is of 
course useful to Russian web designers!) if the family supports Latin, Greek 
and Cyrillic:

  http://code.google.com/webfonts/family?family=Ubuntu (Cy, Gr, La)
  http://code.google.com/webfonts/family?family=Anonymous+Pro (Cy, Gr, La)
  http://code.google.com/webfonts/family?family=Neucha (Cy, La)

It's possibly something to do with alphabetical ordering.  Deciding which to 
default to is a policy issue;  Ideally it could be based on the 
"Accept-Language:" ordering provided by the webserver, although a simpler 
solution in the short term might be to default to the script of the page 
content (English, so defaulting to Latin) which would be less of a shock to 
users.

There is no link to this code repository from the public Google Font Directory 
page 
(http://code.google.com/webfonts)

The first step towards wide adoption of these fonts is to get them into the 
hands of web designers 
to use on their local computers in non-web applications. This repository is too 
difficult to find and 
poorly linked from the materials it is supporting.

Please link this repository from the main Google Font Directory page. 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Attempt to install Google fonts in Windows Vista

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Installation failed.  Error messages state that these are not valid TTF fonts.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Windows Vista Ultimate


Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Using Firefox 3.6.13
2. Browse to http://code.google.com/apis/webfonts/docs/getting_started.html
3. The font is not applied in Firefox for "make the web beautiful"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect that a pretty font should be applied, but instead see the standard

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Windows 7, Firefox 3.6.13

Please provide any additional information below.
I do see it correctly in IE and Chrome. (this is a first for FF not working!)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use Cousine TTF on a local text editor 
2. Write a semicolon
3. The app uses semicolon from a different font or shows missing caracter 
symbol.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Cousine Regular TTF, OSX.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download .TTF files from google code repository
2. Add fonts into a management application like Extensis Suitcase Fusion
3. Note that the metadata does not appear to be unique for each face to reflect 
the actual filename.

What is the expected output?
I would expect to be able to add the fonts and then be able to activate all of 
them.

What do you see instead?
Instead I see a clash where it cannot simultaneously activate all of the 
indivual Nobile typefaces - I am guessing due to a metadata conflict where 
suitcase cannot add more than one font wioth the same metadata name...

If the versions can be updated to reflect a fix, it would be much appreciated.

Apolgies if this should somehow be posted to the entry for the typeface, I 
normally don't use google code.

The CSS file provided by the static call to the webfonts (ie using a <style> 
tag) doesn't serve a gzipped file.
According to Page Speed and Chrome's Audit tab, it would save roughly 50% of 
bandwidth.

Please implement this to make the web faster!

The Latin extended character subset in subset.py only includes characters from 
Extended A, B, C, D, and Additional (without Vietnamese characters).

But some of those characters are only one of bicameral pair of the same letter. 
For exemple Ɛ (U+0190) is in Latin Extended-B, but its lowercase ɛ (U+025B) 
is in IPA Extensions.

Not all IPA Extensions characters are used outside of IPA, although in general 
if it has another case variant in another Latin block it probably is used in 
language orthographies.

Characters in Combining Diacritical Marks are also used in language 
orthographies in Latin script. They are used on letters withouth precomposed 
character forms, for example Yoruba uses combining dot below (U+0323) or 
combining acute (U+301) depending on how accented letters like ẹ́ is 
represented.

I don't know if you want to include those whole blocks in the latin-ext subset, 
considering not all characters are actually used in language orthography. 
However this might not be much of an issue if the font doesn't have all the 
characters of those blocks.

I can provide a list of characters I've found to be used in language 
orthographies.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use IE to open:
   http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Vollkorn:regular,bold

   <html>
   <header>
   <link href=' http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Vollkorn:regular,bold' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
   </header>
   <body>
      <span style="font-family:Vollkorn">Vollkorn</span>
      <span style="font-family:Vollkorn; font-weight:bold;">Vollkorn Bold</span>
   </body>
   </html>


Actual Result:
  1. IE use an artificial "bold" font, not the bold variant in ttf.

Expected Result
  1. IE should use the bold variant from ttf

Workaround:
  - Don't load the regular font, ie:
       <link href=' http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Vollkorn:bold' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

  /OR/

  - Use the CSS file from the font directory.

Currently, the PT Sans font is embedded as a single monolithic file including 
both Latin and Cyrillic characters.

This is not the case for most fonts on the Font Directory; for most of the 
multilingual fonts on the directory, such as Ubuntu, the Latin and Cyrillic 
characters are separated into subsets.

As a result, using PT Sans on my English-only blog carries a larger download 
size than a comparable font that is split into subsets, such as Ubuntu or 
Arimo. The TTF is a 300 KB download for <em>each</em> font in the family.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use google font "OFL Sorts Mill Goudy TT" on a website
2. Write a word that uses a cedilla

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
What happens is that the cedilla appears out of place, towards the left of the 
"ç", making it impossible to use when the site is in a language that relies on 
cedillas.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Google Chrome 7.0.517.44 / Mac OS X 10.6.4
But this issue seems to be independent from the browser, because i've tested it 
in firefox and safari and it happens there too.

Please provide any additional information below.
Tried another font (Crimson Text) and this problem doesn't happen, so it's 
related to this font only. 

Thanks!

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. View pages using the Arvo or Puritan font on any browser in Windows.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect the fonts to render smoothly like they do in Mac OS X, instead they 
appear jagged/aliased.

Please provide any additional information below.
Compare Bad_Windows.png with Good_Mac.png. Bad_Windows.png was sent to me by 
someone using Firefox 3.6 on what I believe to be Windows 7, but i've had 
similar results with IE8 on Windows 7 in my own testing. The fonts render 
smoothly/correctly in Google Chrome 11.0.672.2 dev, Firefox 3.6, and Safari all 
on Mac OS X 10.6.6. Why does the platform change make such a huge difference?

It seems like I may be experiencing the phenomenon described here for TypeKit: 
http://getsatisfaction.com/typekit/topics/typekit_fonts_rendering_horribly_on_wi
ndows_based_systems

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. View the Nobile font, whether embedded via the Google Font API or as a
downloaded font, on a Mac running OS X.

What is the expected output?
The dots over the "i" and "j" are on top of those letters.

What do you see instead?
The dots are lying to the left of the letters "i" and "j".

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version 1.000, from revision 08e9e92db5.

>What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Look at 
http://code.google.com/webfonts/family?family=Philosopher&subset=cyrillic or 
latin with _any_ browser.
2. Notice а, р, с (cyrillic) or u, x (latin) upper height in the line 
started with "18px ..."

>What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Equal upper line as in all other *px sizes.

>What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Any browser, Win7

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. View the font directory
2. View Droid Sans / Droid Serif

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I'd expect to see the font working properly. It doesn't. It shows some weird 
font that looks like TImes New Roman.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Google Chrome OS X version 9.0.597.102

The Molengo Font does not display on a windows PC running IE8. When Viewing the 
Google Fonts directory a number of fonts do not display and just show as normal 
sans serif, such as Reenie Beanie

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Any, just visiting the Google font directory page

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The Font should render correctly

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Calling the font via Google API in head of CSS

Please provide any additional information below.
The site I'm trying to use Molengo on is:

www.newbk.litchfieldmorris.co.uk

No issues on Mac or other pc systems running other version on IE

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to http://code.google.com/webfonts
2. Scroll down to the Reenie Beanie font.
3. Notice that the font is not rendered.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The Reenie Beanie font show work in IE6. Instead I see the default san-serif 
font. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Using IE6 on Windows XP. 

Please provide any additional information below.
The font works fine in IE7, IE8, Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera. 

Is it possible that this is related to issue #1 
(http://code.google.com/p/googlefontdirectory/issues/detail?id=1) where the 
font name table is not coded correctly. Although, that wouldn't explain why it 
works in IE7 and IE8 but not in IE6.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Importing the Google Font API CSS stylesheet on the same page where jQuery
v 1.4 (served from Google code repository) is called, the result is 100%
crash in Mobile Safari. jQuery 1.3.2 is stable.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

expected output would be the page or since iPhone is not supported maybe
just the next font in the CSS stack.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Bug happens only on Apple's Mobile Safari browser.  iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch.


Please provide any additional information below.

This bug is only replicable with jQuery 1.4, it seems to be stable with
jQuery 1.3.2

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. View font directory
2. View PT Sans families

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect to see PT Sans. It looks like Times New Roman

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

OS X Snow Leopard, Google Chrome 9.0.597.102

Access the top-level font directory in Firefox 3.6.13 on Ubuntu causes the 
browser to crash:

  http://code.google.com/webfonts

The individual font family pages work fine, such as:

  http://code.google.com/webfonts/family?family=Ubuntu

Ideally browsers should not crash, but it would be useful if the crash could be 
avoided by debugging the cause and adjusting the generated CSS or subsetting 
TTF output.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open the attached test case in IE8.
2. The webpage will not render. A blank white screen will be displayed.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect the page to display. I instead see a blank white page.

I am using Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7 Ultimate.

Please provide any additional information below.

Putting IE in quirks mode, removing the @font-face declaration, or 
removing the styles that follow the @font-face declaration all seem to 
resolve the problem.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Created a test page with two fonts
2. Works fine in modern browsers
3. Doesn't work in IE7, IE8

So I can't get it to work in IE, is there some extra javascript or something 
I need to add for IE?

Because choosing the "short" version (<link 
href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Nobile' rel='stylesheet' 
type='text/css'>) does not work in IE8 for me I took the webfont loader as 
mentioned in the wfl example. All browsers work except IE... When using the 
developertools I discovered that it remains either in loading or inactive state 
never reaching active state. So the choosen webfont will never be displayed.

Do I miss something or is it just another IE Bug?

Thanks for any help






Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. load http://dev.l-c-n.com/CSS3_font-face/cardo.html which links to
   http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Cardo
2. look at the underlined strings with green background
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
* the green background should span the whole height of the text (all
browsers), instead, the green background only spans the top part of the string
This indicates to me that something is wrong inside the font.

* in gecko 1.9.2 (Firefox 3.6+) the underline looks more like a
strike-through) (in Gecko, text-decoration depends on font-metrics,
where-as in WebKit, it is generic; that explains the difference).

* selecting (part of) the text in webkit also shows the issue (the
selection is shifted upwards.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
tested on OS X 10.6 and 10.5, various browsers.
Linux browsers (Ubuntu10.4) handle this correctly


Please provide any additional information below.

I first notice the issue here: http://www.xanthir.com/:wih

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Render a page using the Reenie Beanie webfont 
2. Use Firefox 3.6.8
3. Space characters are replaced by a # character

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Space characters are replaced by a # character

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Firefox 3.6.8 Mac OS X 10.6

Please provide any additional information below.
It works well in Chrome

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. View either playtypesans/PlaytypeSans-Regular.ttf or 
playtypesans/src/PlaytypeSans-Regular.otf in the Mercurial repository (or on 
the web at 
http://code.google.com/p/googlefontdirectory/source/browse/playtypesans).

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The files should be TrueType and OpenType font files, respectively. In reality, 
both of them are FontForge source files with the wrong extension.

What version of the product are you using?
Mercurial revision 360f705f1e50.

Please close https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=637280

The Droid Sans font has some errors where the descenders extend beyond the 
defined limits of the font.  This is easiest to see in Windows, just open the 
the font in the font viewer and look at the letters 'g','j', or 'y', especially 
at small font sizes.  The bottom gets cut off.

The font as it exists in the latest Android SDK (though the build ID is the 
same?) helps quite a bit, though it still truncates a bit at some sizes.  
Please note, if looking at these in Windows Font Viewer, you must not have them 
open at the same time, as Windows will simply display twice whichever was 
opened first.

I have not thoroughly checked any other Droid variants, but they should all 
probably be updated.

Thanks,
Dan

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open http://code.google.com/webfonts/family?family=Molengo#set in ie9 beta

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Big letter Z is not displaying. White space instead of it.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
ie9 beta + win7

On a page such as:

  http://code.google.com/webfonts/family?family=Ubuntu#code

the user is presented with a default fallback of:

  h1 { font-family: 'Ubuntu', arial, serif; }

despite this only being an example, it seems that people use it verbatium.  In 
this case a sans-serif font falls back to a serif font as the point of last 
resort.  Ideally it would be possible to specific per-font a better suggested 
fallback sequence, in the case of Ubuntu the preference would currently be 
(improvements welcomed):

  font-family: Ubuntu, "Bitstream Vera Sans", "DejaVu Sans", Tahoma, sans-serif;

What steps will reproduce the problem?

In the "Lobster" font isn't characters for -> ű Ű ő Ő
(They are hungarian characters)


I've solved this problem: I've make this characters, I attached the new file.
I hope it will good!

In the last few days, the Neuton font has changed and now has a very high line 
height in Firefox. It looks like it could have been this commit: 14a316c269

See attached Neuton.png vs Nobile.png

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download PT Sans .ZIP
2. Unzip
3. Compare to the way it's displayed on the Webfonts BETA site

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Web version should display as downloadable version (correct version). Instead 
there is a serif-style font, but not PT Serif, which looks different

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version unknown. Mac OSX

Please provide any additional information below.
File attached for reference.

Right now, there is no CE support in G.Webfonts (only Roman script i 
available). Could you enable it? There're potential users in that part of the 
globe :)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use 'Droid Sans Mono' following instructions (works fine in all other 
browsers)
2. Open page with Opera 11.01 / Mac OS X 10.6.6
3. The font doesn't work!

There needs to be an easily downloadable archive containing all the fonts. 

Not all web designers know how to use Mercurial. If these fonts are going to be 
used, the TrueType 
files need to be easily accessible for non-technical users. 

Please add a zip archive to the downloads section of this project.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use the characters ‘’, encoded in HTML as ‘ and ’, in the 
Nobile font.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The left and right single quotes should be flipped versions of each other. This 
is correct in the Bold and Bold Italic fonts. In the non-bold fonts, however, 
the right single quote is correct, but the left single quote is identical to 
the grave accent.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version 0.10, Mac OS X 10.6.4

Please provide any additional information below.
I'd be willing to provide a patch for the .sfd files if necessary - I have a 
fair amount of experience with FontForge.

Viewing Lato in Chrome or any version of IE will display a serif font that is 
not Lato. 

Lato should load cross-browser as most other google fonts do. Chrome and IE 
think that Lato is loading so even a font stack such as 'Lato', Trebuchet MS, 
Arial, sans-serif; does not work, you always get the serif font. This is the 
same behavior on the official google fonts Lato page so I know it is not a site 
specific problem.

Lato seems to load fine in FireFox and Safari.

Viewing the filesize information at:

  http://code.google.com/webfonts/family?family=Ubuntu

shows a full-font size of 168 kilobytes, instead of the subsetted sizes of 
approximately ~50 kB each.  Ideally the size displayed in the font directory 
should match the size that will be returned by requesting that subset from the 
API.

This is likely related to the other Nobile on Mac issues, but I thought it 
deserved its own entry.

When viewed from  a Mac running 10.6, the bold version of Nobile is displayed 
even when the regular version is specified. This is true even on the GFD 
website as pictured below (Windows on the left, Mac on the right). 10.5 does 
not appear to exhibit this issue.

http://cl.ly/7f14f9cf745cca22e0bf

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Using font family "Arimo"
2. setting font size at pt, px, em
3. Using windows only

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Able to see each descender as you can in OS X instead the descenders are 
getting cut off.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest "Arimo" linked font. Windows 7: ie7,ie8,firefox

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install nobile_bold_italic.ttf
2. Try to install nobile.ttf

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The bold italic one should install as "Nobile-bold-italic (TrueType)" but 
instead installs as "Nobile (TrueType)". Because Windows doesn't allow 
duplicates, this prevents the actual basic Nobile from installing.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Revision r5b679865d7 of nobile_bold_italic.ttf, rd1c997b9e5 of nobile.ttf. On 
Windows XP.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to http://code.google.com/webfonts/family?family=Droid+Sans#variants 
using Mac Firefox 3.6.6 (OSX 10.6.4)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should display both Droid Sans Regular and Droid Sans Bold variants 
correctly. Instead it displays both as Droid Sans Regular.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Mac Firefox 3.6.6 (Mac OSX 10.6.4)

Please provide any additional information below.
So far, no other browsers I've tested have reproduced this bug, including Win 
FF 3.6.6. I also tested on my own local HTML file (using the link tag, not the 
WebFont Loader) and the bug still persists. However, using this link tag from 
kernest.com actually works:

<link href="http://kernest.com/fonts/droid-sans-bold.css" media="screen" 
rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use the font Vollkorn (normal and bold) from google font directory
2. Write a paragraph of text.
3. Bold a word somewhere in the middle of the paragraph.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The word should be simply bolded and not affect anything else.
But Vollkorn Bold seem to have a diffrent built-in line-height which I can't 
change with CSS (you can see it when highlighting the word with the mouse). 
This creates a horizontal "gap" in the paragraph.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I've seen the same results in firefox, chrome and safari (not safari on iPhone).

Please provide any additional information below.
