no MIDDLE DOT · but FULL STOP instead about barlow

[jpt]

Hi @Jan-Rueter - Do you have the latest release of Barlow from this website? https://github.com/jpt/barlow/archive/master.zip

Let me know if that solves the problem, and if it does, let me know where you got the font from and hopefully it can be updated there as well.

If that doesn't fix it, can you please post a screenshot? I am not seeing the full stop in place of the middle dot.

i´m lazy … using Barlow via https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Barlow

first screenshot with Font "San Francisco" and the second with "Barlow"

Thanks @Jan-Rueter! It looks like the problem is due to the Google Fonts API serving an outdated version of the font, which did not have a middle dot.

There is already a pull request on their repo for an updated version with a fix -- google/fonts/pull/1330 -- but I'll leave this issue open here and will comment again to let you know when it's updated on Google.

just wanted to say that I'm so glad this is fixed, especially since middle dot is so trendy now ··· but sad that google fonts is still serving the old/incorrect one!

cc @davelab6 /@googlefonts timely updates are crucial to users

I believe Google merged this one in -- let me know if you still have issues and I will reopen the issue.
