I still have the same problem I had with the old UI: The only reason I come to this site to get the copy/paste one liner to put a certain font on my site, but every time it takes me a few minutes to find it
1. Click a font's plus icon 2. Click on "1 Family Selected" 3. Copy the embed link from the dialog. How is that hard?
Why would I click on a notification dialog to produce/obtain something? This workflow makes no sense.

At my work we just decided this week that we will no longer support IE or Edge. We won't actively block them (or show a message) and if the site works in those browser then great. But, we won't test in IE or Edge and we won't make any bug fixes just for those browsers. Frankly the number of users using those browsers (low for our site) versus the number of hours required to fix problems with those browsers (high in o…
> I'd be delighted if both IE and Edge went away forever. To be fair Edge is a pretty solid browser these days, I don't think you can put them on the same league. I've been using it for some time now and other than a slightly different font rendering engine I have yet to find a fault on it; everything works like you would expect in a modern browser. Development wise, we test for Edge ocasionally and so far we haven't…

I mean, that's fair for you to make that business decision, but if I'm a customer of yours and having issues, and I find out you're not supporting me, I'm just going to do business with someone else. And if that's fine with you, it's fine with me too. Where I work, we need to use IE for many things, and we have exactly one piece of software that requires a different browser. If in the future, I have the opportunity t…
Am I correct in assuming that you "need to use IE" for software that is incompatible with other browsers?
Still they don't offer any font+css download opportunity in the way that font squirrel does. You have to do it by hand or be stuck with their CDN. How bad.
It's smaller than the big embed info screen, but there's a download button that gives you a zip of your selected fonts in the top right of the "selected fonts" dialog.

More and more sites are only tested in Chrome. It's not just Edge that no one cares about, Firefox is becoming a second class browser as well. Often it's pretty obvious that the authors didn't even try Firefox, because the JavaScript isn't even loading properly.
I regularly have to email SaaS companies and tell them the service I just signed up doesn't work correctly in Firefox.
I wish you could filter fonts based on writing style; take the letter a for instance; there can be so many was to represent the lowercase; to get complementary fonts; it would be nice to filter on those characteristics.
1. I hate the lowercase L ("l") looking partly uppercase. 2. Dollar signs need two bars. (single means Mexican peso) 3. Half way up the at sign ("@") must have 4 lines, not 3. 4. The asterisk must be 6-point, with a vertical. 5. The tilde ("~") must be high. 6. The pipe ("|") must have a center break. 7. The zero ("0") must be more narrow/pointy than the O.
God dammit https://sr.ht/xkFx.png Never, ever, ever disable functionailty based on someone's user agent. Just let it be broken, because spoiler alert: it's probably usable anyway.

I disagree. If the team knows for sure that this will look terrible on less popular browsers, then it's probably not worth the PR blow of running a faulty product. This way, 'it works as intended'.
Overall really not happy with most of this redesign. The specimen page is probably more informative though.
I get that OS X has bad subpixel rendering which shows painful fringing on coloured text, but FreeType handles it flawlessly, and I'm pretty sure ClearType does as well. There's no reason to disable subpixel rendering on these platforms.
