I'm also experiencing this.

Here's Red Hat Text in LibreOffice (note a backtick incorrectly over the c):

We have a fix for this, will be implementing it soon.

Just ran into this on the customer portal in prod :( looking forward to the fix.

@jeremymickel does this mean we can download an updated version from Google fonts?

I'm pretty sure that we just found this issue in Red Hat Text as well.

This can be closed IMO

This can be closed IMO

I disagree. This issue has not been fixed in this repository (or at least, the release version doesn't reflect the fix.)

If the issue has been fixed, it should be merged here and released.

I think there is another repo (I don't know which one is canonical) and there, as far as I can remember, this issue is fixed.

I see now that updates aren't happening in this repo. It seems non-optimal for the official home of the font to not be receiving updates. I'll file a new bug about that.

@notklaatu @mpieczaba sorry I didn't catch that other folks were waiting, the fix is here: #49

It's looking good to me, but I'm trying to get more formal QA on it, I think that's what we're waiting on the merge for.

Re: the two repos:
I got confused by the two repos as well, but got the story on that recently.
The typographyer's repo is upstream of this one, but we don't use the webfont from there. The font weight ends up being too light for the screen, this repo removes some of the lighter weights of the webfont so font-weight: 400 reads well.

The typographer was able to fix this issue a while back but confusion on the two repos, but no one was clear on how to get those updates to this repo and recompile. In the MR above I think we got it.
