Hi Paul. I don't use IE very often but lately discovered that my Buildr has trouble with Polish fonts (in IE only).
Could you check on your test site, please under IE.

And if you succeed send here the proper font settings for latin extended, please!

To make it easier here are some Polish fonts: źażóąęś ĄĆŚŹŻÓĘ

cheers Tomek

Could you attach the text you are posing in a text file

I do see problems in Edge with some polish text I found on the web

This should be latin-ext

//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:latin-ext

I'm using Lato as this font type was developed by a Polish font foundry

witraze Also note, some weights perform better than others. For instance, on one site, I needed to use a font weight of 600 for bold, not the usual bold (700), for clean Polish font forms.

      ah sorry I will need to check on attachment types

      The attachment has become corrupted for me in the text file which is unfortunate

      I have the text ok on Lato at font weight 600 but this just makes the other text as dark as the accent

      The font is definitely loading with the latin-ext but it is not right - I will the team on this

      blue_shift

      Can you advise me what fonts you use on Polish sites and the font weight?
      Do you add the latin-ext subset?

      Cheers
      Paul

          paulus1031 On one site, my Polish language assist includes the following

          .article-content .po-polsku {
    font-family: 'Montserrat', sans-serif;
    font-weight: 600;
}

          in menu and button instances, I am using font weight 300 on whatever the p class is, which would also be for the purposes of rendering the Latin-extended characters.

          I note that Lato, when a Polish text string is pasted into the Google sampler, will not initially render the special characters in 'regular' weight, not even Polish-designed Lato, until you change weight and then return. So Google is running some deep magic even they have trouble with.

            Yes there is something I'm missing with the fonts

            @witraze - if you try blueshifts suggestions do these work for you?

            Cheers
            Paul

            ah I'm sorry I thought it was it working - can you tell me what is wrong with the rendering in the picture attached?

            Thanks
            Paul

            witraze As of January 2018, you have been worrying about 7% of browser users.

            If IE9 and below (ugh) you could load a different stylesheet altogether with conditional code

            <!--[if IE]>
            <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="all-ie-only.css" />
            <![endif]-->

            IE 10, 11 requires mediaqueries instead and assign a known font, eg @import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Oswald:300&subset=latin,latin-ext); <-- note force-import of latin-ext

            @media all and (-ms-high-contrast: none), (-ms-high-contrast: active) {
     /* IE10+ CSS styles go here */
}

Edge 12 yet *another* mediaquery

            @supports (-ms-accelerator:true) {
            /* IE Edge 12+ CSS styles go here */
            }

            Google Chrome 	65.98%
Mozilla Firefox  11.87%
Internet Explorer  7.28%
Safari 	 5.87%
Microsoft Edge  4.11%
Opera  2.35%

                blue_shift
                Thanks for the code indeed. Will try it for sure!
                If you can do something good even for 7,28 % of all the users - why not (even if they are IE users)? Your future best client could be accidentally among them.
                By the way I am in 2,35% myself - using Opera Touch (issued lately) and find it much more quicker than Chrome or FF. You never know ;-). And it is very handy on mobile...
                @Paul - Builder under Opera works terrific :-)

                cheers Tomek

                  I have read when looking into this that Edge and IE does have rendering problems with some fonts - browsers across the board so display sizes and styling slightly differently sometimes very minor differences but some times really noticeable

                  Are you seeing problems in both IE and Edge?

                  Chrome does eat memory but it does have some really nice tools and as Blueshift said it totally dominates the browser market

                  Would love to know how you get on with the code suggestions

                  Thanks
                  Paul
