Missing Montserrat Weights

[scottwhudson]

First off, thanks so much for posting this to Github.

I've been trying to use some alternate weights on the Montserrat typeface in addition to the 400 and 700 that are currently up. I see that there are three extra weights in this repository and the DESCRIPTION.html file has an added paragraph acknowledging the update. But this paragraph isn't reflected in the live font specimen page, and neither do the extra weights. I'm not able to manually call them from the CDN either. Is there some kind of licensing thing preventing you guys from adding those weights? Thanks!!!

At a glance it looks like a bug; will investigate, ty.

[davelab6]

These styles aren't pushed to the api.

[rsheeter]

Should they be? - I can look into deployment if there is no reason to hold
them back.

The latest versions just went up to https://github.com/JulietaUla/Montserrat but there's a few things Julieta needs to do first before they can go live

[scottwhudson]

@davelab6 that link looks broken too (private repo maybe?). No problem, I'll keep an eye out for the update, thanks for checking.

[goodpixels]

I am too looking to use those other weights! PLEASE, PLEASE, push them to the live server!

[noderat]

The repo was moved to https://github.com/JulietaUla/Montserrat

I'd like to know what's blocking this. If there's something that can be done by the community, I'll be happy to invest a little time to poke, prod, update 'stuff' and shoot in a pull-request.

Can somebody limit the conversation to collaborators? It’s annoying to have one’s inbox flooded with useless “+1” comments.

[davelab6]

@fitojb you can unsubscribe from an issue on the right sidebar of the github page, #2

[dangelion]

Any news about this? I don't understand if those weights are missing for a "bug" or it's a Google choise and we will never see them on Google Fonts.

[windgazer]

@dangelion Well, according to the author's repository this issue is getting some traction: JulietaUla/Montserrat#2

The missing font-weights (as well as variants) are popping up on the sandbox, which presumably means they'll end up on the live version, sometime.

[dangelion]

Hey, in the sandbox there are all weights! It means that can I use them? There could be some issues?

[davelab6]

You should not use the sandbox; the server is not provisioned for 3rd party usage.

The fonts available there have some inconsistencies with the fonts in production, so have not been pushed all the way through yet.

[dimitrieh]

It now has even more weights. Would love this to be updated and available on the live font specimen page. link

[dangelion]

Someone knows when Google will load all the weights?

[rijk]

+1 ! When will this happen?

[bryanchalker]

+1 much needed and sought after

Hi everyone, any news on this?

[chernushevich]

Any news on this? Certain marketplaces only allow fonts from Google's CDN and not having all the weights is a huge problem. Thank you!

[KatSherry]

Am only meant to use googlefonts and am currently using them @fontface its going to be incredibly messy when I have to launch this website template. Looks like this issue was logged over a year ago. Whats the progress?

[alerque]

@davelab6 Can you explain what is meant by either of both of these tidbits?

…there's a few things Julieta needs to do…

What exactly does the author need to do to push this through? A lot of us out here would be willing to contribute if we know what needed to happen, but the responses to this issue have not give us anything we can work off of. What can we do? Is this held up on Google's end or is there something a font author or contributor could contribute?

It is in the queue.

I asked about this on the related issue, but it wasn't explained there either if there was anything an outside party could do to help this clear the queue.

[m4rc1e]

@alerque I submitted pr #465 today.

We've made a queue because we're also working on our tooling. We have fontbakery and other tools to help us ensure the quality of what we're releasing is good. If we discover problems in one font, there's a high probability it's happening in all of them as well.

I hope this helps,
Marc

[lubomirblazekcz]

#512 it's happening!

[alerque]

@evromalarkey We might be early for the party. Again the process is pretty opaque because we don't know what's going on in "the queue". The extra font weight have been in the Github repo for some time but aren't served from the Google fonts system yet. I just looked and still don't see this there, so it must still be in "the queue". Whether the i/j thing was what was blocking it or not we haven't been told.

[davelab6]

Sadly I can't say when they will be live, as its not ready until its ready, but, I hope soon! :)

The i/j was one of the things blocking - now resolved :)

[podrivo]

Almost 2 years now.

[shelldandy]

Still nothing happening 😢

What's taking so long?
