tokotype / plusjakartasans Goto Github PK

The stylistic alternates are cool, but I can't find any guide to use them, i know this repository only contains the regular aka non display variant of the Plus Jakarta Sans.

But I've found the display font from this site. Can anybody guide me how to use the alternates?

I provide this snapshot from TokoType site
Thank you

Is this a built-in design or a bug when f and I become one?

After installing the variable font file, only extra light is installed. Or is that how it's supposed to be and I'm being stupid?

It would be nice to also provide woff and woff2 formats as part of the releases. They are usually structured under a folder titled: webfonts like in the case here: https://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsMono/tree/master/fonts

A potential way to atleast provide woff2 format would be to use some kind of github action that utilizes this library: https://github.com/google/woff2

PlusJakartaSans.glyphs contains two "Regular" instances, one at wght=400, one at wght=200; the second is wrong and is breaking the build. (Maybe it should have been a Variable Font export as in PlusJakartaSans-Italic.glyphs?)

Although the default stylistic sets are fantastic, it would be lovely if the alternative character styles are exposed as character variants (cvXX). This will enable me to mix and match the characters I want which may not be available in one stylistic set.

The fixed version made it better, but I believe that the ascender of letter 't' is still not high enough.

I provided Product Sans, Manrope, Circular std., and fixed version of +Jakarta Sans for reference:

The ascender of the lowercase letter "t" feels too low in relation to the cap height. I would bring it up a bit higher but not as high as the first public version.

I provided two visuals for reference:

+Jakarta Bold (v 2.4)

+JakartaDisplay Medium (v 1)

Thank you for making this font open source by the way! I think it's one of the most beautiful on the market.

Is a vertical line in the '$' symbol on some fonts (+Jakarta Sans Display Medium, Display Bold & Text Bold) not in the middle/not center?

I've sent an email, and the reply assume that was a bug.

Thank you.

This may be a Mobile (Android) only issue. Notice the empty space at the top of the text in the buttons in the screenshot above. Can confirm this isn't an issue with other fonts.

Do note that the empty space isn't because of any paddings I have added to the TextView in Android.

Happy to test and provide more information if necessary.

Hi. Love your font! It would be my endgame font, however it is missing my native language characters. Do you plan on expanding character set? It would be a game changer to include characters like "ĄČĘĖĮŠŲŪŽ" from Lithuanian language! (Š & Ž already exist)

Amazing font, none the less!
Keep up the good work!

In the v2.7 (2.007) fonts released today (2023-05-19) the Roman variable font (PlusJakartaSans[wght].ttf) is actually the Italic.

The Italic font is also Italic, so there is no Roman variable.

It keeps saying font invalid for me, is the file corrupted or something?

Hi!
I came across the font on Google Font and found it very nice. I was thinking of using it as my go-to font of the moment and tried to add it on a Google Doc, but the font does not appear, despite being publicly listed as a Google Font.
Any clue?
Many thanks in advance for your answer!
Kind regards,
Phil

We've been supporting Plus Jakarta Sans at Fontsource for a while and I've been wondering if you could provide the values for the CSS unicode-range selector? That would be super useful for the project and users downstream.

Thanks!

I don't know if having a name of a city would create any issues, but it's worth a try.

The font does not deserve to be on Google Fonts. It doesn't get basics right and is riddled with so many bugs. There is no sign of any active development. There's just replies to the issues with no fixes at all.

The last update was in Nov 2021 i.e. 8 months ago. If you don't intend to maintain the fonts or at least fix so many basic issues that make this font unusable, remove them from Google Fonts and help all of us out not to waste time on checking out a bug ridden product.

Just look at issues where it doesn't even get some core/basic features right: Issues #9, #19, #25 #27, #28

Note: This is superseding #1.

In the v2.7 (2.007) fonts released today (2023-05-19) it appears that the static fonts have no kerning feature.
The variable fonts do have kerning, so it appears to affect only the static fonts.

As shown in the image, apostrophes seem to behave incorrectly(facing the wrong way). Is this a bug?

There is a problem with the points: The point of the small i is a rectangle. But on the umlauts ä, ü and ö dots are shown. This representation should be uniform.

When loading medium font to a browser throught css, medium font in not bold enoughtl.
CSS:

@font-face {
    font-family: PlusJakartaSans;
    font-weight: 400;
    src: url("/fonts/PlusJakartaSans-Regular.woff2") format("woff2");
}
@font-face {
    font-family: PlusJakartaSans;
    font-weight: 700;
    src: url("/fonts/PlusJakartaSans-Bold.woff2") format("woff2");
}
@font-face {
    font-family: PlusJakartaSans;
    font-weight: 500;
    src: url("/fonts/PlusJakartaSans-Medium.woff2") format("woff2");
}

This is how it looks in the browser:

Medium font is almost identical to regular.

The 2.7 release zip is missing the license file found in the repository and previous releases. This should be always distributed in the package with the fonts.

I have no understand about principles of font building so, feel free ignore this if it doesn't make any sense. I have noticed that while trying to use the font for real world I found the space between words a little inadequate

In this image the fonts are as follows

• Plus Jakarta
• Circular Std
• DM Sans

I think the others do a better job at the spacing. It seems like a 1.25x increase in the distance could do wonders in terms of readability.

Ever thought to submit on Google Fonts?

Hi there! I was trying some composite emojis like this one -> 🙅🏼‍♀ It renders in Firefox successfully but fails in Chromium based browsers and in Safari.

Is there something I am missing, or is it a bug or missing in font itself.

Hello,

Thanks for the awesome font.

When will be Extended Cyrillic version will come :) Any plan?

This is because, the SemiBold weight is implicit by source and variable font, but not implemented.

Please remove the tail (middle bar) from Scandinavian letter "æ" to follow common practice and improve readability. Quick edit attached to illustrate. Thanks for the great work you've put into this font.

Here's letter 'k' against 'J' and 'l'

Here's 'k' against 'K'

I found this font and it's a very good looking font. Do you have any plan to add Vietnamese support for it?

Thank you very much!
