ParaType released an updated version of the PT Sans headset (its versions are also available in EOT and WOFF formats)

Many people remember how at the end of last year we were pleased with the appearance of the PT Sans paratypical free font containing all the characters of the Cyrillic alphabets of the peoples of Russia, as well as the letters of the imperial written language ("« "," ѵ ", " і "," ѳ ").



At the beginning of April (partly following the requests of users, partly guided by their own intentions), the Paratype typewriters made a number of important improvements, which are reported on their website and on the LiveJournal blog .



Without seeking to copy-paste a complete list of them, I will confine myself to emphasizing only three circumstances that seemed significant to me personally.

')

First, in addition to a simple set of fonts , they now offer a special Web-set for downloading, containing versions of all the fonts of this typeface in EOT (for IE browser) and WOFF (for Firefox, for example). In the same archive there is a ready-made example (HTML + CSS) of using these fonts, and I checked and made sure that the example quite corresponds to the useful recommendation that Paul Irish made.



Secondly, bold facets are completely perekhintovani (they now look much different; I personally think that they are fatter now).



Thirdly, there appeared characters that were missing to support Esperanto (which means that the Belarusians had a new version of this font useful), added an “inseparable” hyphen, changed the style of the German escet and corrected the Russian “s”.



The kerning of the combination “*. *” Continues to remain awful in this font, but otherwise the development of the font deserves loud and sincere applause.
