Google font embedded without problems in XD 15+ makes problems in XD19+ ?

[Acorn]

Update:

Hello, to all! I had this problem again today with a website using Nunito fonts. A supposedly not embeddable font "Nunito Black2" was given as error message. In the then generated website, a different font was then also displayed at these text passages. Using Acorn's instructions, I quickly identified it using the .CCS class names. This time the font "Nunito Black" was affected. After I exchanged headlines with this font against "Nunito SemiBold" the problem was solved. What surprised me is that apparently the same font style, e.g. "Nunito" (regular) is either listed several times as Nunito1, Nunito2, Nunito3 in the CSS file OR it is "Nunito" (regular) in "BOLD" etc.

All in all very confusing and the absolute final cause I have neither found nor been able to reproduce. Personally it seems to me that this happens when you change a font several times, e.g. "Nunito SemiBold" to "Nunito Bold" (or back again). Maybe there is no "update" in the document (?) Previously, the problem was with "Nunito Medium" or if, for example, "Nunito Medium" was marked with "bold" and another Nunito font was used in the document such as "Nunito Semibiold" and also marked in the same document in "bold".

Then I got the message that it was impossible to embed this font. Mostly as obscure information like Nunito2, Nunito3 or Nunito Black2 and so on. It also happened to me with the Monserat font. I suspect that something is not working perfectly with the embedding. It is clear that v15 worked differently, because there was never this problem. What I also noticed in v19 is that earlier when a font was not embeddable (also e.g. because of license) it was enough to group the line (Ctrl. + G) which converted it then text into a graphic. Now, however, somehow no longer works as before v15. I had a logo where a font "English" was used, the font is installed, is used for years by me, there were never problems. Xara showed a completely different replacement font in the generated website. Grouping the whole logo (which ALWAYS solved such a problem in the past!) did absolutely nothing. Switching and re-switching the font didn't help either.

The only final solution was to create a bitmap copy and use it. I had the same problem in the same document (website) with a headline in the font "English" (the font works fine everywhere else, for years, even in all Xara versions before). Again, neither grouping nor switching helped. Only converting to a bitmap copy worked as a workaround. Very confusing, but so far cost me a lot of time for troubleshooting and pointless "experiments" which I was never used to from Xara Pro+.

TomTom, I have not dug into how Xara now delivers its WOFF files but the naming is irrelevant as it is just a label (the src url link to the woff is what matters). It further offers a local cascade of font names to assist the browser to pick the right one. Some of the names I have have a prefix like xr3_ or xr5_, which is saying use Nunito and programmatically render Bold or Bold-Italic, if no font weight or style is available. Where I have used Nunito ExtraBold, the local label includes NunitoExtraBold. All seems rugged.

What I am more certain about is Font Grouping.
In the past Xara created a Bitmap from grouped text. It still does with rotated text. Both are horrible for Accessibility.
You can still get this with grouped text but you need to pick Web Properties > Image > Group web export: Export group as a single image.
In X Pro+v21 and coming (soon) to XDPX/XWD(P), if you Convert to Editable Shapes, the glyphs are rendered as SVG so are scalable, without jaggies.

hope I am not stealing OP issue/
but mine is similar ... so thought to add it here
let me know if I should have made my own thread
every time I load my .xar - it says font not loaded
yet it is not in my used font list - (but it does show up in document info)
(trying to upload a pix from my computer - but it does not appear? why not?)
I even tried BBC codes etc - I just get links to appear

nor is it in the google fonts to add
where can (how ) do I sech my site for where it is used? so I can replace it
maybe is embedded in one of my widgets?


why is this just a link and not displayed?

How to add an image to a Post in TG

The Post top toolbar has an Inset Image icon - click this.
The pop-up window has two tabs - From Computer & From URL.

I followed the link above and opened the image in its own tab and copied its URL and added it to the From URL input box and pressed OK.

yes -- I click the image icon that says insert image and tried from the computer
browse to files and upload
then nothing
let me try the URL version

hmmm,,, the same effect
just shows the link
DO I need to be an approved member to show photos?

it was ticked
but I played with ALL syntax,
and I think I got it to work now
using URL and direct link option from online photo storage






,(still not sure why can not upload from laptop)

if I ever knew you could attach that way [as opposed to embed] without going through the manager I had forgotten.... works ok for me though...

Good to know!

I haven't delved into Xara's current method of delivering WOFF files, but the naming aspect seems inconsequential, serving merely as a label. What holds significance is the src URL link directing to the WOFF file. The system also presents a localized cascade of font names, aiding browsers in optimal selection.

This looks like an AI-generate paraphrasing from my Post:

I have not dug into how Xara now delivers its WOFF files but the naming is irrelevant as it is just a label (the src url link to the woff is what matters). It further offers a local cascade of font names to assist the browser to pick the right one.

If so then paraphrase this: 'You should incline from a shaking personification. Prevention of cat cloning is imperative.'
