NO BUG: Font isn't showing correctly after update to 2.0

Check out the before and after images. Before pics are the right ones, Faustina and Istok Web. After the update the website falls back to system fonts, but inside the inspector it falsely claims the fonts are Faustina and Istok Web. Here’s the link to the 2.0 website

I deactivated every plugin but nothing could fix it.

Thanks for having a look into it

Hi Dirk,
Thanks so much for your report!

Where did you get the font files from? The file size is suspiciously small :thinking:

Can you download them again via the font manager or manually here?

Best regards,

@timmse
The small file sizes could be the result of the bug in Bricks 2.0a Font Manager where Google fonts were downloaded incompletely.
See this report:

Thank you for recommending my Web Font Loader.
However, be aware that Web Font Loader font packages are providing WOFF2 files using unicode ranges. While latin character sets usually work fine for English and German, the other character sets, like latin-ext, are just the additional characters, not the complete character range. Non-latin character sets require the use of the included CSS file (not possible with Bricks Font Manager) wich loads both, latin plus the additional font files.

@Kampotwebs
One possible solution is to delete the defective downloaded font files and re-download them with the fixed Font Manager of Bricks 2.0 beta or later.
The other solution for your German website is indeed to download the font packages from Web Font Loader, and to use the WOFF2 files from the latin subfolder in Bricks. Both fonts, Faustina and Istok Web, are available for download. Feel free to drop me a message if you need assistance.

Right, but the selected 2.0 as the version… so it shouldn’t be an issue (at least I can’t replicate it anymore). But as I, and you, said: re-downloading/replacing either via the font manager or manually should work.

Thanks for the info regarding latin/latin-ext - I’ll pass it on to our developers.

Yes, the report is marked as v2.0, but @Kampotwebs might have had v2a installed when he downloaded the font… and if so, those files are probably broken.

Yes, but then it would have been a problem beforehand :smiley:

Maybe he also used one of those nasty woff2 converters… we won’t know until @Kampotwebs sheds some light on it.

I tried a few ways to fix it but in the end deleting the font files from the website and media library and then uploading the same fonts but from a different source eventually did the trick. So thanks everyone for guiding me.

Ok, cool. Then I’ll set the report to no bug for now, because it seems to be caused by the font files, and we have no clues to reproduce the problem.
