+1, Merriweather is pretty popular, for example, new default WordPress theme uses it for body copy. We need non-latin subsets, please!

All of that available in the updated font itself. The world speaks many languages, you know :)
For me personally, cyrillic support is critical as I use ukrainian and russian languages.

One of the reasons I love Roboto - it offers cyrillic support.

Updated to v1.582 in e309430 and pushed to the production Fonts API today.

The Light style in v1.582 has a problem with fi and fl ligature glyphs not correct, so we need to push v1.583 on Monday.

Awesome, thanks!

'fi' ligature issue in many browsers: TryGhost/Casper#235

from fonts.

@davelab6 Still wondering why it is so bold on Mac.
The 400 looks very heavy in running text :

The update to Merriweather was made in advance of the Firefox 44 launch on Tuesday that will mean the old files will just stop working.

The bug with fi/fl ligatures has a workaround - you can turn ligatures off with CSS to work around this until then:

-webkit-font-feature-settings: 'liga' 0, 'onum' 1, 'kern' 1;
-moz-font-feature-settings: 'liga' 0, 'onum' 1, 'kern' 1;
-o-font-feature-settings: 'liga' 0, 'onum' 1, 'kern' 1;
font-feature-settings: 'liga' 0, 'onum' 1, 'kern' 1;

from fonts.

Tried the mentioned workaround very early. Unfortunately it did not work in Safari / OS X.
And btw. – for mozilla I would recommend using the following syntax

-moz-font-feature-settings: "kern=1", "liga=0", "case=1"; /* Firefox 4.0 to 14.0 */
-moz-font-feature-settings: "kern", "case"; /* Firefox 15.0 onwards */
-moz-font-feature-settings: "kern" 1, "liga" 0, "case" 1; /* Firefox 15.0 onwards explicitly set feature values */

However: Thank you for your help!
I am thinking about a CSS switch to deliver the 300 to Mac Safari and Firefox browsers tomorrow.
Chrome is a bit lighter ... strange.

@davelab6 For us the fix seems to be disabling text-rendering: geometricPrecision; -- however we use this in combination with Merriweather 300 in the default theme for the http://github.com/tryghost/ghost blogging platform - so currently have several thousand sites affected who cannot fix this without us cutting a fresh release and getting them to do a manual update.

from fonts.

@JohnONolan fyi: It will be fixed by tomorrow.

from fonts.

I have solved it this way. Have not tested with older FF, problem was only visible in Firefox under Windows.

html {
  -webkit-font-variant-ligatures: none;
     -moz-font-variant-ligatures: none;
          font-variant-ligatures: none;
}

from fonts.

we can also add

text-rendering: optimizespeed;

to the fix provided by @davelab6 to support Safari.
Btw: Any news?

@davelab6 confirmative 👍

@ihorvorotnov the cyrillic is now enabled btw. However, a further update is needed for some digraphs in the Regular style, and to improve hinting of Cyrillic. EbenSorkin/Merriweather#25

@m4rc1e please fix EbenSorkin/Merriweather#39 and file a PR upstream and here, I'd like to fix that ASAP

from fonts.

Fixed in pr #622

from fonts.

@m4rc1e said found pr #622 had to be closed

When I enter

Along with #623 I'm going to ask @EbenSorkin to fix this :)

from fonts.

Thanks @davelab6

from fonts.

I just checked the roman source and it seems to have this fixed. I will check the Italic and confirm it there too.

from fonts.

@EbenSorkin We had to rollback to a custom v1.53x release, #736 because V2 is currently missing some glyphs and has a few errors #623, #8
