The new version of Cantarell is, by its own authors admission, a
regression for all practical purposes:
<madigens[m]> adamw: thanks for the feedback :) cantarell's spacing
does indeed look a bit funky... in gtk3 and firefox. that's due to a
missing technical detail called "subpixel positioning". Spacing looks
more consistent in Qt apps and Chrome. there also isn't any kerning
yet, so things like AVA, To, etc. look gap-y
So, it looks fine...except in GTK+ 3 (i.e. basically all of
Workstation) and Firefox (Workstation's default browser).
That seems like a problem. :P (Never mind that it just chucks out
Cyrillic coverage, which the previous version had). Can we consider
sticking with the old one at least until it's clear if this will be
cleaned up in time for Final?
Fair enough, that's probably a prudent thing to do. I've split it out
from the rest of the 3.28.0 update now:
