Found a rendering glitch in Monospace Argon with Cyrillic characters #407
Description
Hi everyone,
I've been checking out this font family lately, which seems really interesting. It has five unique styles and a solid approach to variable width, and it provides support for Cyrillic, Greek, and Vietnamese characters. Overall, the design is super neat and looks awesome.
However, I think I've found a minor bug in the form of a glitch that causes distortion and incorrect rendering.
While reviewing the Argon style in FontLab, I noticed a rendering error. There appears to be an issue with the variable font regarding the following:
- The Cyrillic lowercase letter ҳ (Kha with descender) in italic
- The Cyrillic lowercase letter х (Kha) in normal
I tried to fix it on my end, but it was difficult without breaking the interpolation.
It would be best to inform the creators of this font about this issue so they can look into it and hopefully resolve it, improving the font for everyone.
Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for reading!

For: The Cyrillic lowercase letter х (Kha) in normal
The element order is different on the two diagonal elements in different masters.
Look at the two ExtraLight masters -
ExtraLightandExtraLightWideCheck the Elements panel and you can see the difference.
The
ExtraLightWidemaster is the one that needs to be fixed.To match the element order in
ExtraLight,ExtraBold, andExtraBoldWidemasters.Same for: The Cyrillic lowercase letter ҳ (Kha with descender) in italic
The
ExtraLightWideItalicmaster is the one that needs to be fixed.Look at the Elements panel and just drag the elements into the correct order.
To match the other masters.

@kenmcd Nope, I can't. I'm not good at it, and I'm quite hard to deal with. And I'm not a professional.
