wrong character in garamond premier pro

Question

hi, i just found a character miss-match in the font "garamond premier pro" regular (italic = fine).

it´s the symbol PHI (U+03C6) and the letter phi (U+03D5) they are mixed up.

i know there are several variant forms of the symbol "phi" - but they should be consistant in one fontfamily.

I confirm that this was a bug in version 1.014 of the family, which got fixed in the next major version (2.x).

The italics are correct. The bug affects only the phi symbol (U+03D5) of the upright weights; the shape of that character should resemble a circle with a vertical bar through it.

The shape of the italic phi letter (U+03C6) without the vertical stroke above the x-height is "as designed". The shape of that letter in the upright weights is also "as designed".

It seems like you have the older version of the family. I will send you the corrected version off-line.
