Wrong weight on alternative `g` glyph
linzhiq opened this issue · comments
The alternative g.ss01 glyph is always rendered with weight 100 in all weights of the variable roman version. g.ss01 can be triggered on the ASCII g with OpenType features salt or ss01 turned on.
Tested on release v2.0 from this repo and Google Fonts with Figma and another design tool.

Google Fonts web fonts do not support salt or ss01
So what I expect would happen is nothing (original g).
But what appears to be happening is the alternate g from the default master (Thin).
Which is a bit unexpected (???).
I tested the desktop variable fonts for both v2.000 and v2.001 and they appear to be fine.
salt demo is below:
Ah whoops. Seems like this is a bug with the Google Fonts distribution (which does have salt and ss01) which is still running v 1.006.
Going to close this out in favor of google/fonts#3953.

Well that is interesting. It is my understanding that only the fonttools sub-setting defaults are available (which do not include those).
