cooperhewitt / cooperhewitt-typeface Goto Github PK

I'm on Windows 7, and after installing the typeface I can only see "light", "book" and "bold". All other weights are non-existent. When I look in the windows fonts folder I see cooper-hewitt light, book and 12 instances of bold.

I've see that a few others have had this issue but I haven't seen any solutions. Any ideas on how to work around this issue?

I'm mostly just curious, on the CooperHewitt website, the font used for the titles on the grid elements is CooperHewitt-Display.woff , is there a reason this is not open source like the rest? (I like that one in particular because it's so nice and condensed)

I checked, that woff file is not a rename of one of the others; maybe there is a css transform to get it there?

Thanks

Are .woff2 formats of the webfont files available anywhere?

The download link on the website only includes standard .woffs.

Thanks in advance.

The Light, Light italic, and Book versions of the font are not verticaly centered. It's a bit more high than the others font-weight.

Do you have an idea to fix it ?

@impallari mentioned that the kerning could be improved (impallari/Font-Testing-Page#35 (comment)), specifically:

I'm curious why the OFL "Reserved Font Name" option was chosen, its in the copyright string in the OFL.txt but not in the UFOs itself :)

I suggest either adding it to each place the copyright notice exists, or removing it from the OFL.txt - which is my preference. Since Cooper Hewitt is a trademark then its not necessary, and prevents use of the font as a web font because format changes (EOT/WOFF) and sub-setting are considered modification and so in my opinion (IANAL) have to be renamed, or you have have to contacted and additional permission granted (which is scalable.)
