NTA font is missing some accented characters

daveraine opened this issue · comments

We're having an issue displaying the å character in the "NTA" font. It seems it is missing and so is falling back to Arial to display the letter, which results in it looking out of place.

I've created a jsfiddle recreating the issue.

Hi

Do you need this character in services you're developing, or for GOV.UK content? There are different ways to solve this (some characters were removed from the font to keep the file size as small as possible).

thanks
Chris.

Yes, I am developing the International Waste Shipments service. We display a lot of foreign towns and competent authorities in the system. The å character is the first one we've noticed is missing, but there could be others. Do you have a list of all the characters that are in the web font? I could cross check this with our data.

Hi

I do - can you email me - chris.heathcote at digital.cabinet-office.gov.uk - and we'll find a way to get you the extra glyphs. I suspect if you're working on an international service there are more that you will need.

thanks
Chris.
