Josefin Sans regular appears to be italic

[baferret]

Not sure if I'm doing anything wrong, but I installed Josefin Sans Regular on Windows 7, and both GIMP and Paint show it as italic, not regular.
Nice font BTW!

Can confirm, appears to be italic on Inkscape in Fedora 20. But bold version appears correct.

From what I can tell, it seems that inside the ttf container, the font's type is set incorrectly - it's set to another type in the family, which is causing a duplicate (and overwrites the previous font when installed). The actual typography inside the container is correct (based on it's preview), but it's name conflicts with others in the same family.

I'm seeing this on a Mac using Font Book. I see it with two fonts:

• JosephineSans-Italic tries to install as Regular
• JosephineSans-SemiBoldItalic tries to installs as SemiBold

Confirmed on Mac. Regular Italic, SemiBold Italic, and Thin Italic have name conflicts; Light Italic and Bold Italic are fine.

Thanks for investigating :) https://twitter.com/oscargt/status/634073021544820736 also reports this

Any way to fix this? I need the regular weight for a project.

I have an update from the designer, which will solve this

I found that downloading the font from Font Squirrel gave me uncorrupted files. Does the archive that Google Fonts hosts now work?

Any updates on this? Tried Font Squirrel but got the same problem.

[giulianovelli]

Had the same problem. http://1001freefonts.com version works fine.

Having the same problem on Mac OS.

Switched to Font Squirrel which works fine for me.

Just wanted to report that I'm also experiencing this problem on a Windows machine in latest versions of Chrome and Firefox. This is on a site that's been up for awhile but the problem seems to have begun in the last week or so.

@davelab6 , you mentioned you had an update from the designer - is there any way that those updates can get checked in? Would be great to just get this closed out...
