Looks great in Chrome, completely broken in Firefox: https://i.imgur.com/XRMgcHp.png .
Hey SEMW, Sorry about that. The missing character detection can be a little finicky. Can I get a browser version / OS?
Chromium 49.0.2623.87 built on Debian stretch/sid, running on Debian stretch/sid (64-bit)

There are also longer texts that you see if you change "Sentence" to "Paragraph". I don't know if they're from elsewhere in the same works or not.

That was the old IE. Edge is a whole new browser and management has changed since ballmer era. It's like punishing current generation of Germans because of hitler.
Comparing IE to hitler - be fair, he wasn't that evil.
Edit: And this post downvoted within seconds. What a fucking joke this place is thanks to assholes abusing their karma. (If I'm going to be downvoted, it may as well be for something real.)

But the point is that with current standards, things that work on Firefox, Safari, and Chrome just work on Edge. It's extra effort on Google's part to throw up "not supported" banners and pretend like Edge is the worst scum and villainy on the planet. It's a terrible marketing effort disguised as "building a better web" and it's doing a disservice to the open web, modern standards, and basic common sense "do the righ…
How is not devoting time to supporting a proprietary browser doing a disservice to the open web?

Google doesn't want you to use Chromium. Use Chrome instead, it's exactly like Chromium but with all the Google bloatware installed!
>with all the Google bloatware installed! Oh yeah? Like what? Sorry, does anyone downvoting want to actually explain to me what "bloatware" is "bundled into" Chrome? Or just more errant bullshit that's tacitly accepted because it's anti-Google rhetoric fired from the hip without substance? Those audio/video codecs... so much bloat! https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs... Or maybe you're upset…

Nice little attention to detail!

I get the same in every browser I try on Linux. I don't get the point of this. I really don't. While far from perfect, web fonts have largely been a solved problem for a while now, so why are Google reinventing this wheel? This seems to happen all the time with the web; people taking old ideas and reinventing them again and again, in yet more bloated ways, breaking things for millions.
I don't think they're reinventing anything. Google Fonts has been offering webfonts for many years. All they did here was change the website.

I'm Indian and I'm seeing a lot of Hindi fonts on the front page with lines from Hindi novels as well Nice little attention to detail!
"All their equipment and instruments are alive." as "उनके सभी औज़ार और उपकरण किसी ना किसी स्वरूप में ज़िंदा हैं"
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.
Plus, I agree with your sentiment.
