Using Roboto Condensed & subset latin-ext

[ColonelMoutarde]

Hi,
By default using "Using Roboto Condensed" & "subset latin-ext" for improvment specials chars:
é, à, ù ... Using in french

[MichMich]

Those chars should work with the current font. Are you experiencing issues?

[ColonelMoutarde]

Without using Roboto Condensed" & "subset latin-ext
look météo...

if i add in custom.css
@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto+Condensed&subset=latin-ext') ;

[MichMich]

Ah, that's weird indeed.

I think we need to mention this in the nam package of the font:
choffmeister/roboto-fontface-bower#44

[ColonelMoutarde]

the diffrence is subset=latin-ext

[MichMich]

@ColonelMoutarde is it possible to set that with the NPM import?

[ColonelMoutarde]

How to do this with NPM, i'm newbe.

[nhubbard]

@MichMich This is difficult. The package we use doesn't have latin-ext in it. It looks like Google patches the font and hosts it instead. The solution may be using the Google Fonts version for now.

[MichMich]

I don’t prefer using an external source since some mirrors run offline. We can rollback the commit that uses NPM. Previously we just bundled the web font.

[nhubbard]

Either that, or we could download the fonts and make our own package.

[MichMich]

@nhubbard Looking forward to your PR! ;)

@ColonelMoutarde: So, a bit of a slow response, but non the less ...

I wanted to add the correct front, but before I did I wanted to see the issue with my own eyes. So I configured a module with your exact French text, and it appears to show without any issues:

Is there anything I'm missing here?

[ColonelMoutarde]

For you, i add my config file

For write an accent you have 2 possibility.
e+` and è
First case it's 2 chars and second case is 1 char, in french everyone use seconde case. First case is an hack for querty keyboads

config-Copie.js.txt

i use magic mirror in windows environement...

[MichMich]

If I look at your config file the characters are scrambled too. It might be that your config file is encoded wrong. It the file stored as an utf-8 file?

[ColonelMoutarde]

the file is in utf-8 without BOM. That's what notepad++ says.

[MichMich]

Maybe it's the windows environment that causes the issue. Is it possible for you to test your setup in an Raspbian environment?

[MichMich]

Hello !

I have the same issue than @ColonelMoutarde, but I am on lastest Raspbian.
What can I do help investigate the issue ?

[MichMich]

@Knurlnheim Did you check the encoding of your config file? What system are you on?

[Knurlnheim]

System is a Raspian Strech Lite on a Raspberry Pi 2.
config.js is in UTF8.
The problematic characters are NOT ALL coming from the config file, some are displayed by various modules (weather, my own, etc.).

[ColonelMoutarde]

I have reinstall MagicMirror in fresh install of Raspbian Stretch on my RPI2.
All is OK, no problems

[MichMich]

@Knurlnheim Switch to the full version of Raspbian. Not the Lite version.
