[Bug 1521536] Re: Font Roboto Slab doesn't support extended Latin chars

 

After testing all themes shipped with Mahara these are the conclusions.

RAW (Open Sans and Roboto Slab): both fonts work without problems
    - Open Sans: showing latin, latin-extended, cyrillic and greek chars
    - Roboto Slab: showing latin, latin-extended, cyrillic and greek chars

DEFAULT (Bree Serif and Open Sans):  problems with Bree Serif
    - Open Sans: showing latin, latin-extended, cyrillic and greek chars
    - Bree Serif: showing only latin, although latin-extended and cyrillic are supported; greek is not supported

MODERN (Raleway): works without problems
    - Raleway: showing latin, latin-extended, cyrillic and greek chars

OCEAN (Oswald): works without problems, but greek is not supported!
    - Oswald: showing latin, latin-extended and cyrillic chars

PRIMARY SCHOOL (GoodDog, Open Sans): potential problems with GoodDog, since it only supports basic latin!
    - Open Sans: showing latin, latin-extended, cyrillic and greek chars
    - GoodDog: only supports basic latin; this might cause some problems, but the font is rarely used


Possible alternative for 'GoodDog' font might be 'LJ Studios MB' (http://www.fontspace.com/lj-design-studios/lj-studios-mb).
This font supports latin, latin-extended, cyrillic and even thai (no greek!). It is GPL licensed font and the commercial use is allowed.
