Hey SEMW,
Sorry about that. The missing character detection can be a little finicky. Can I get a browser version / OS?
Google Fonts Redesigned

Re: Google Fonts Redesigned
#12This is a gorgeous redesign that really lets the typography shine, as well as deftly addressing numerous usability issues with the old site. The family size filter in particular makes finding a usable set of weights much easier, and the featured section adds a welcome new layer of curation.
Two minor observations:
- It would be a great addition to the family size slider to be able to filter for "contains italics." Some font families have a broad set of stroke weights, but aren't usable for certain content because they lack italics.
- A nitpick, but "Handwriting" has always seemed a somewhat suboptimal filter label. Many of the fonts contained therein might be better described as "script" or "calligraphic", while "handwriting" connotes something more strictly vernacular.
All said, this is an excellent update that brings the Google Fonts experience into the realm of subscription services like Typekit.

I have the same problem, submitted through the feedback thing so you should have a screenshot and all kinds of debug information from me.

No one tests on firefox anymore, is sad how firefox is being ignored more and more everyday.

#17I thought Google Fonts has Farsi fonts as well.

#18If anyone is curious about the sample text: * "All their equipment and instruments are alive." (Mr. Spaceship, by Philip K. Dick) * "A red flair silhouetted the jagged edge of a wing." (The Jewels of Aptor, by Samuel R. Delany) * "I watched the storm, so beautiful yet terrific." (Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley) * "Almost before we knew it, we had left the ground." (A Trip to Venus, by John Munro) * "A shining crescent…
"She stared through the window at the stars" is just too common a phrase :-) A simple google search suggests a hit in atleast 3-4 books.
Seems like there would be one that fits the theme though, no?

The first one on the list had convinced me this was a very interestingly-trained Markov chain generator. I need to read more Philip K. Dick.

No, it is not necessary.
We'll take a look.
