When using the font like this...

<link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Oswald:400,300,700|Quattrocento:400,700|Open+Sans:300italic,400italic,600italic,700italic,400,600,300,700' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

... within a webpage rendered in IE10 when you print a document the text with Oswald will print the 's' character with these long lines that span over text below it until another element with Oswald begins. This can look like lines that span from h2 over numerous paragraphs until the next h2 is encountered.

The print previews all work without error, this only seems to be an issue when printing to a printer.

@fowlerj Did you mean to include an illustration?

I didn't realise that I needed three marks around code in markdown, my apology. I hope that the updated comment will suffice.

This is a known bug with earlier versions of ttfautohint. (Also Oswald family naming is not working in Word.)

Are there any plans to fix this? I love this font, but it doesn't print from Publisher 2013 correctly. I can workaround this by publishing to PDF before printing, but the other user of my document will hate having to do that. :)

Is there a way I can remove the ttfautohint command and rebuild the Oswald ttf file? I'm an experienced Linux developer.

Yes, you can use ttfautohint -d font.ttf out.ttf to de-hint the font.ttf and produce out.ttf, and then you can reapply ttfautohint using the latest version to out.ttf

I can't give an estimate of when this will be fixed

Hm, I don't think the punctuation size in Oswald is odd. Or it isn't now, anyway. I think this can be closed.

I've asked for confirmation on Twitter

The square part of colon/semicolon should sit on the baseline if you ask me, it's kinda levitating right now.

Punctuation could be larger indeed, e.g. if you look at Action condensed, right now it doesn't seem as black as the text.

Those are quality changes, not bug fixes... I'd rather tackle that across the collection than family by family.

"strangely sized punctuation" is a quality req indeed.
