Question

Brandon Grotesque font doesn't work properly with Cyrillic characters

The Brandon Grotesque font has support for Cyrillic characters in all styles, but for some unknown reason, after installing it from Adobe Fonts, not all styles display the text correctly. For example, only light and bold work, and tofu is displayed in other styles.
This problem occurs not only to me, but to all my colleagues, so I assume that the problem is in the font.

I'm not aware of Brandon Grotesque supporting Cyrillic characters at all. When I open the Glyphs palette in Illustrator I don't see any styles featuring a Cyrillic alphabet. It's just an extended Latin character set. I checked the MyFonts web site for HVD Fonts' listing for Brandon Grotesque; none of the fonts for sale there have a Cyrillic character set. Is it possible some other fonts might be getting mixed into the situation?

Yes, I noticed that there is no support for the Cyrillic alphabet on myfonts and adobe fonts (although it was, I remember that for sure). However, on the HVD website you can find a complete table of glyphs, where there are Cyrillic characters. And before using Adobe fonts, I myself used brandon grotesque with Cyrillic.

That's strange. The version offered at Adobe Fonts and the retail version being sold at various fonts sites don't include a Cyrillic character set. I suppose if someone buys the type family direct from HVD fonts' site they might get the Cyrillic glyphs.
