github googlefonts/Roboto-Classic v3.000

latest releases: v3.004, v3.003, v3.002...
3 years ago

Changes since V2 series.

  • Build chain uses fontmake instead of custom font compiler.
  • Variable fonts added.
  • Static fonts are instantiated from the variable fonts.
  • Use GitHub Actions to build and test the fonts.
  • The v2.000 hinted fonts had their own sources. v3.000 has unified the hinted and unhinted sources.

Regressions

  • Glyph overlaps have not been removed in the static fonts. If we remove the overlaps, the VTT hinting will not work.
  • Italic styles appear more condensed in heavier weights.
  • Vertical metrics will appear tighter when using the Variable fonts in Windows Chrome versions 69-72. This is due to these versions of Chrome using FreeType instead of DirectWrite.
