add tabular figures

[jpt]

I've had a couple requests for this, seems like a common enough feature to support

Hello Jeremy
Do you have the tabular lining numbers?

[jpt]

Hi @JulietaUla -- not sure if you got my response previously, but I think I will get to these in the next couple of weeks! I will keep you updated

[JulietaUla]

GREAT!!! Thank you :)

Hi @JulietaUla -- sorry this took so much longer than expected, but tabular figures are now in!

@jpt Thanks so much for adding the tabular figures.

I haven't been able to get this to work, unfortunately. I can see the corresponding glyphs in Glyphs.app, but I can't access them in the browser through font-feature-settings: 'tnum' or font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums.

It's not a problem with the browser; when using Gotham, which supports both proportional and tabular figures, the numbers are displayed correctly.

I've created a pen to demonstrate the issue: https://codepen.io/abersager/pen/PRZpVY

I'd be very grateful if you could let me know whether I'm doing something wrong.

@abersager Thanks for letting me know, I am reopening this issue until I push a fix. I believe the OpenType features were simply not compiled into the font binaries despite the glyphs existing, so it shouldn't be hard, I just need to find the time -- next couple of days, I'm sure!

Well, this codepen uses the fonts via Google Fonts API, which strips out non-essential opentype features, so it will not work even when @jpt has updated the binaries and submitted a pull request to github.com/google/fonts and that is merged and pushed

[abersager]

@jpt Thanks very much!

@davelab6 You're right, not a good example. I haven't managed to get it to work with locally installed fonts, either.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are great! Besos Julieta 2018-03-04 16:13 GMT-03:00 Jeremy Tribby <notifications@github.com>:

Thank you @JulietaUla for testing out the tabular figures! I’ll push out a new version of Barlow for everyone on Monday or so (fixes an issue with tcaron as well)
