Yrsa & Rasa: fonts for Latin and Gujarati
Minor updates to the font meta data and build process affecting transformed components.
Production setup change for distribution to Google Fonts, fonts unchanged from v2.003.
Fixes issues in Fractions Opentype code and lining numerals hinting result.
With financial support from Google, we have extended Yrsa to include italics and provide a wider language support (over 331 languages), including full support for Vietnamese. While we were at it, we also threw in additional stylistic sets of numerals and quite a few monetary symbols. Rasa includes various minor fixes to the Gujarati with additional glyphs for Avestan. Both families come with variable fonts. Design: Anna Giedryś (@ancymonic) and David Březina (@mrbrezina) Font engineering: Johannes Neumeier (@kontur)
This update fixes an issue in TTF fonts where these some composite glyphs (e.g. ij) did not have the right sidebearing. This issue might have resulted in issues with Microsoft applications.
Yrsa and Rasa are open-source type families published by Rosetta with generous financial support from Google. The fonts support over 92 languages in Latin script and 2 languages in Gujarati script (Gujarati and Kachchi). The family currently has 5 weights. The Design and production are done in-house, by Anna Giedryś (@ancymonic) and David Březina (@MrBrezina).
Only OTFs are considered reliable. We will provide TTFs as soon as we fix one mysterious bug.
