theleagueof / ostrich-sans Goto Github PK

Hi there,
first of all: thank you for this superb font and for giving it away for free.
I am building a website on which i want to use the ostrich-sans and ostrich-sans-black. But there seems to be an issue with the webfont of the black (and bold) version. the font hast some strange pixel errors if it is in small scale. certain font sizes work good though (17px and 13px) and bigger type (20px) has no issues at all.

The problem also only seems to occure on some machines but if it occures, then it is visible in all browsers. maybe it is OSx only? testet it on one windows machine where it looked fine.

I also created new webfonts with the fontsquirrel webfont generator, but the issue is still there.

Do you have any ideas why this happens and could somebody possibly fix that?

Ostrich is missing basic accented characters: áéíóúàèìòùäëïöüçñ would be enough for use in portuguese/spanish/italian titles and short text.

The webfonts for 'Ostrich Sans Inline' in SVG format are missing. The files currently present in the repository are in an unidentified binary format, not SVG.

There is the same issue for both the italic and the regular versions of the font.

This isn't too big f a deal but just a heads up. I tried saving just 1 or 2 ttfs by right clicking and saving as but it changed the space into a + which gave me issues when trying to install. I had to download the entire project as a zip to get the ttfs to install properly.
That being said, Awesome font! Thank you very much!

Is there a technical issue here or is the Heavy style intentionally only available in the .otf format?

When mixing the different styles, the heights are off by quite a bit. This makes the font hard to use when consistency is needed. An images of the four styles with the same font size is attached.

Just paying a compliment. It's a great font!

I am unable to use the different styles and weight, maybe you assume your consumers should have some degree of knowledge... you did not provide any usage guide, for newbies.
I need to use ROUNDED and HEAVY. How should I proceed please ?

font-family: 'Ostrich Sans';
font-style: 'rounded';
font-weight: 'heavy';

This is not working.
please help.

Thanks in advance.

Some letter pairs need custom kerning. See WA, PA, TA.

I love the font. Would love it even more if it had support for Swedish characters.
ÅÄÖ.

The Medium-Rounded-version is at least lacking them.
Wish I could pr. But don't know Typography.

Hi,

First of all, thank you for making this beautiful font open source. I was just using it in the black style, and noticed a (small) artifact in the K. The top leg of the K protrudes a tiny bit past the vertical. A screenshot is attached.

Thanks for the font, it's beautiful.

There's been a couple of occasions where a standard bold weight (one without the race track style double lines) would of come in handy so just thought I'd raise it as an issue as the Black variant is quite a jump.

Sadly not all diacritical characters used in Eastern Europe are available. Are you planning to include them in future?

Is this a problem for anyone else?
