Inconsistent digit sizes in fractions (Google Fonts) #548

So, I went on a small adventure with With the option If someone happens to know: |

What you experience is called "old style" numbers and it is a design decision. I have found that this has been discussed in issue 4. |

@ni-tro Hm, I do not think that has anything to do with the "old style". As you can see in my screenshot the digits that are bigger in the numerator of the fraction are not even the same as in the denominator. Furthermore the numbers are not just lower but larger. Finally you can even see the "old style" at the digits 9 (numerator) and 5, 7 and 9 (denominator), but other digits are just smaller. Also, this is something that I could only reproduce at Google Fonts. |

I recall that in the update that has been coming for a loooong time now
this is fixed.
I think it's getting a Pro designation now when it does go live.
I will ask if we can fix some basic things in the original design like this
too.
…-e.

before) and managed to create my own working WOFF2 versions out of the TTF
versions in this repository.
With the option --layout-features="" I managed to create smaller fonts
(comparable to the Google ones) where the fraction slash does not work. I
am still wondering why the Google versions just work for a few digits.
If someone happens to know:
Which layout features are required to get a working fraction slash?

I am not sure this has already been fixed, because I have this issue only with Google Fonts, but I cannot find any version number at Google Fonts. This does not happen when I use the current OTF as local font in the browser.
Digits have inconsistent sizes when used with the character "Fraction Slash" (U+2044) as in
1⁄2(1⁄2). I have tested this on macOS with Firefox and Chrome. This can be seen directly in the Google Fonts preview:https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Merriweather?preview.text=0123456789%E2%81%840123456789&preview.text_type=custom
