[Montserrat] Support for tabular number spacing limited to 700 weight

[lachieh]

Tabular spacing seems to be limited to the 700 weight:

Here is the 500 weight:

Here is the 700 weight:

Notice that the widths of each number are inconsistent (i.e. not good for tabular data). On the 700 example, the percentage signs are all aligned, 500 they are not. I have not looked at any of the other OpenType features to check if this is just tabular data or not.

Hi,

All the boxes have aligned figures in my browser.

• Uninstall any local copy.
• Don't use https://fonts.gstatic.com (and moreover, you mix the versions: v10 in a place in your code, v12 in the url, and v14, the current version, the one you get by https://fonts.googleapis.com).

Thanks, I've updated the code to use the latest CSS import from fonts.google.com. I did have a local version of Montserrat bold installed, so I've removed it and now none of the boxes have aligned figures. I have confirmed this in latest Chrome and Firefox on macOS.

This is the import I have in the example now:

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Montserrat:wght@100;200;300;400;500;600;700;800;900&display=swap');

And these are the URLs that are loading:

What are some next steps I can take to resolve this?

Oh, yes. I believe Dave's answer is still valid:

Btw, the WOFF and WOFF2 files are already available In the latest version: https://github.com/JulietaUla/Montserrat/tree/master/fonts/webfonts

Ok, thanks. It would be great to add support for enabling OT features with a query string or something of the like. I understand it's not something that everyone uses, but it'd nice to be able to enable them selectively.

I'll close this one in favor of that other ticket or adding a feature request.
