Philosopher

Open-source font by Jovanny Lemonad

Philosopher was started in 2008 and takes inspiration from Agfa Rotis and ITC Binary. This font is universal: It can be used in logos, headlines, and for text. The initial version of the font was deliberately spread with errors - this was my invaluable contribution to type culture around the world, as I thought then - I wanted to stir up designers so they began working with fonts, rather than passively using what is there. Over time I wanted to correct the errors, and now the font has been used by millions of people worldwide.

In June 2011 a four-style family was published, and in September 2011 the full Latin and Cyrillic family was fully hinted.

Umlauts issue

Hi @alexeiva! I hope you're well.

Several users mentioned some issues with the Umlauts:

• google/fonts#1225
• google/fonts#7466

Do you think this is something that can be fixed quickly? If you don't have time to do it, I can fix it directly on your repo and make a small update.
I could also take the opportunity to take a look to the other issue opened in the repo.

Let me know,
Cheers!

ŞşĞğİ character support

Hi!
Can you please add "Ş ş Ğ ğ İ" character support. We want to use your font familiy. I was looking it from this link.
Best regards.
