Open Sans Light does not contain latin-ext subset

Hi

There is discussion on Polish KDE subforum about diacritics characters not displaying correctly:
viewtopic.php?f=247&t=107754
(See screenshot in first post there).

I was able to narrow down the problem: this because Open Sans Light font from Google does not have latin-extended characters subset included. Web borwser displays other available font in place of polish diacritics instead, which looks rather bad.

What I find rather strange is that this applies only to Open Sans Light (headings on forum). Open Sans WOFF file (paragraphs) has latin extended subset already included.

If on Google webfonts page you check 300 style and latin-ext subset, and include this font on forums, everything goes back to normal.
Link to correct CSS: http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300&subset=latin,latin-ext
Link to correct WOFF file: http://themes.googleusercontent.com/static/fonts/opensans/v6/DXI1ORHCpsQm3Vp6mXoaTRa1RVmPjeKy21_GQJaLlJI.woff.

Please update link to WOFF file in bootstrap.css file.

Thanks in advance on behalf of all Polish KDE users :) .


Best regards

Thanks for reporting. I've updated the stylesheet.

sayakb: thanks for quick reply. All headings are now correct.

But it turns out I have judged Open Sans (not Light) as working too quickly. There must have been some problem with cache or something, because after update, paragraphs does not display correctly anymore. Source of problem is the same (I have downloaded WOFF file and checked in fontforge that it does not contain glyphs for Polish diacritics characters).

Thanks again and sorry for inconvenience.

No problem, can you check if it's OK now?
Strangely, I cannot replicate the issues locally - so I'll just take your word for it ;)

Yes, everything seems to be working now. Thanks a lot!

Well, this issue is some strange coincidence of local fonts, browser used, cache and perhaps something else. I could reproduce it on Opera, but not on Firefox. Even on Opera I could reproduce it on KDE forums, but when I set up basic .html page linked to downloaded CSS file, everything started to work.

Anyway, I am glad that this has been taken care of :) .
