Question

Apertura Typekit font renders äüö incorrectly

When embedding the Webfont "Apertura", the Umlaute äüö appear way too close to the following letter, when using Chrome under Windows 10 (see screenshot, or try for yourself in Adobe Fonts. All other major browsers and operating systems render this particular setup just fine. But it does not appear to be a chrome bug, as the same Chrome version renders the text just fine under Windows 8.1 - It is Windows 10, with Chrome and THIS particular font.

Unfortunately for us, this is the setup our client uses. Does anyone have an idea if this can be fixed by us developers? Thanks much!

    Hi, I'm not sure but is there a solution here? After symbols with Umlaute (üöä), the letters stick too tightly.
    We integrated the Apertura via Typekit and also have the problem (Chrome, Edge...).
    Thanks

    Has anyone found a solution to the problem?
    I have the same problem with the special characters.
    And the whole font somehow looks like the spacing is wrong...

    Hi 

    @pixlar

    ,

     

    What characters are you using? Is it possible for you to either share a screenshot or a screen recording of the issue to better understand it? Did you try clearing the cache and cookies of the browser to check if that helps?

     

    Regards,

    Tarun

    I used the Characters äöü or ÄÖÜ. After this letters there is no space - the next letter "sticks" to the letter before.

    For Word you can fix it with activating "contextual alternates" for the font settings.
    For Web it might be something similar. Maybe this helps: https://blog.typekit.com/2014/02/05/kerning-on-the-web/

      Thank you very much for your reply. Unfortunately the solution in the link you posted did not solve the problem. I will try to contact the typekit support.

      It also does this with the french letter "é". Pretty upsetting.

        My client has the same problem. They even have it with the Apertura font they bought at fontshop and using it on their Word documents.

        I also use Apertura from Adobe on InDesign and other CC apps and also with Microsoft 365 apps under Win10 and don't see any problem except the one in Google Chrome.
        Any help here, Adobe?
