[WIP] Reorganize entire project around IBM Plex #130
Conversation

The table with css weight values in the readme does not reflect the values stored in the fonts. I don't know enough about css to judge if this is a problem. Here are the values in the fonts themselves: |

Hey @BoldMonday, see the accepted values in font-weight for CSS. It does not look like |
|
Hi @seejamescode We already followed the conventions with regard to weight values. If you look at that https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/font-weight page you will see that Bold should be 700, not 800. Having 3 weights between Regular and Bold means that we had to choose 450 for Text weight. |
|
Looking at this blog post it looks like x50 font weights will still work. I will adjust it as so. |
|
@seejamescode Plex Sans Condensed has no support for Cyrillic yet. Possibly in 2019. |
|
@seejamescode I propose a different name for Woff.zip as a release, since that file contains multiple formats: woff, woff2, and eot. Why not call it Webfonts.zip instead? |

yes, good suggestion Paul.

Thanks @BoldMonday! Just updated the initial message to reflect both points. |
|
BTW when you rename a github repo it automatically sets up a redirect from
the old URLs

Hey @BoldMonday, please do one last review of the readme for us. @electrostaticfleece and @joshblack, please take one look over the branch to see if anything is off. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Works great from the dev side!
One thing that could be confusing is where to put $font-prefix after reading:
The css code assumes the font directories are located in the same directory as your css directory. The location of the font directories can be changed in the scss code by declaring a path with
$font-prefix.
But I'm sure this would be resolved by a simple example 😄

Thanks for the update @seejamescode. The current readme implies that there are only split webfonts for web developers, but there are the "unsplit" versions too (in woff, woff2 and eot format) which are superior when it comes to features and kerning. Hopefully you will find a way to mention them too? Please also mention in the readme the availability of desktop versions in otf and ttf format. Do you agree @mjabbink? |

Thanks y’all! Edits are reflected. We will be merging this afternoon. |
This is the pull request that will change this repo to revolve around IBM Plex instead of a combination with typography choices. This will focus the audience of the repo to the typeface community. When this pull request is merged, the repo will be renamed
ibm/plex. A new repo calledibm/typewill be created as a placeholder to redirect those still with the old link.Adds
