Last modified can also mean adjustments outside the font file that impact what ends up getting served on Google Fonts. I did a quick check on OpenSans-Regular.ttf and it appears to me the one here should be the latest copy.

@rsheeter I am pretty sure that the font itself was changed, because we are testing the visual output of our styleguide (using Open Sans) by comparing screenshots. This test broke exactly on that 'lastModifed' date…
(Looking at the diffs revealed that kerning of the font changed, if that is of any help).

Can you see for which glyphs kerning shifted? Also on which browser(s)?
It is possible that serving optimizations might have had an impact.

wouldn't a file diff between the font served from google fonts and the github repo solve the issue of what changed?

There are other problems with Open Sans that I will look into
- Bold GPOS table is corrupt, fonttools/fonttools#314
- Likely style naming/fsSelection issues, https://twitter.com/manik314/status/634267763696005122 and https://twitter.com/LorryCaton/status/636084196176490496

Open Sans has a bug in the Romanian 'locl' implementation. Normally S Cedilla (Ş) and T Cedilla (Ţ) should be replaced by S Comma Below (Ș) and T Comma Below (Ț). Unfortunately "Open Sans" does this the way around, Ș and Ț are replaced by Ş and Ţ. Firefox is hit by this bug, see the following bug reports: OpenSans font shows cedillas instead of commas (Şş instead of Șș) for Romanian language (bug in OpenSans font) https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=907793 [ro] "Open Sans" font rendered incorrectly https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=951141

Naming flaws are solved with @m4rc1e's hotfix, but the tilde problem is still outstanding (#1199) and the Romanian problem is still outstanding (#213). As both of these problem have stand-alone issues, I think we can close this issue. Thoughts, @davelab6?

Sounds good
