Strange error

[WilliamCampbellie]

Hi Nidud, I love your font, so much so that I'm using it as my personal branding.

I have one issue that you might be able to help me understand. I have never had any other error, but when I use OBS, the video software, and a plugin that puts a countdown time on the screen (https://github.com/ashmanix/obs-plugin-countdown/wiki).

I want to put it in the Caudex font, but this font - and only this one - does not show up. It's just invisible.

I tried deleting the font, reinstalling it, and then it showed up, but the next time I restarted, it was invisible again. If you have any ideas, I'd appreciate it.

Hi William,

I'm not familiar with this software so it's difficult to say what the problem is. It could be the size, the type, or this specific version (assuming that's the version you use) of the font.

There are however many versions of Caudex, so you could try installing a older version and see if that works.

Version 1.01
Version 1.07

It is also hosted on Google Fonts for custom build light-weight web-fonts. From the css-page the version is 1.07 and the normal-style Latin version is 16084 byte.

/* latin */
@font-face {
  font-family: 'Caudex';
  font-style: normal;
  font-weight: 400;
  src: url(https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/caudex/v17/esDQ311QOP6BJUr4zfKB.woff2) format('woff2');
  unicode-range: U+0000-00FF, U+0131, U+0152-0153, U+02BB-02BC, U+02C6, U+02DA, U+02DC, U+0304, U+0308, U+0329, U+2000-206F, U+2074, U+20AC, U+2122, U+2191, U+2193, U+2212, U+2215, U+FEFF, U+FFFD;
}

Well, it would be of interest to know if version 1.07 works as this will suggest there's something odd whit the current version.

Hi Nidud Thanks for your earlier help on this. You might remember that I had an anomaly where Caudex (but no other font that I tested) would not show up on OBS for me. I got a hold of versions 1.07, 1.04 and 1.01 of the font, and they all had the same issue. Do you know are there any other versions that I could test? Send me a link if you do. Also, I don’t know much about developing fonts, but if you know of any other fonts that were developed with anything in common with Caudex, or share some characteristics, I would appreciate if you could point me towards them so I could test them for comparison. Still love the font, by the way! :-) William *From:* nidud ***@***.***> *Sent:* Saturday 31 August 2024 00:15 *To:* nidud/caudex ***@***.***> *Cc:* WilliamCampbellie ***@***.***>; Author < ***@***.***> *Subject:* Re: [nidud/caudex] Strange error (Issue #1) Hi William, I'm not familiar with this software so it's difficult to say what the problem is.

Caudex have glyphs in whats called the Private Use Area so that may be an issue. I made a .ttf font from the css-page above. This is a simplistic Latin-only font.

Caudex-Latin.zip

Also, I don’t know much about developing fonts, but if you know of any other fonts that were developed with anything in common with Caudex, or share some characteristics, I would appreciate if you could point me towards them so I could test them for comparison.

If the Latin font don't work a link to a similar font that actually works will be useful.
