--- Comment #5 from Nicolas Mailhot nicolas.mailhot@laposte.net --- IMHO http://gsdview.appspot.com/chromeos-localmirror/distfiles/crosextrafonts-201... is a dead end evolution-wise.
Sure, you can continue using it, but it’s an orphaned no-upstream thing. So, at some point, it will need switching out.
Also note that the coverage of the chromeos version, is less than the coverage of the new upstream (granted, the github project is missing precomposed T WITH CEDILLA; don’t know if this precomposition is a requirement in modern unicode). And a lot of the other differences are trutype instructions missing in the ChromeOS variant.
It looks like the ChromeOS version of the font files forked from an earlier state of the project. Or, used the same design masters, but processed with earlier 2013 font tools, a lot less complete than the ones available today. Certainly, it seems to be missing a lot of things present in the github version.
(like all Google font projects the new project forgets to remove Regular from fullname; that hints at using common tooling with all the other Google fonts; given the extent of Google font nowadays, I’d expect the result to be significantly more robust than whatever ChromeOS used in 2013).
