Quattrocento KF - Our body font.

[Poppavalyim Andropoff]

Neat. And yes I must agree with your judgement Kiwifarms font is easily readable and yet has a nice style to it.

All you really need in terms of fonts is Times New Roman and Comic Sans.

and Papyrus

What about the Polish diacritic signs, ą, ć, ę, ł, ń, ó, ś, ź, ż? This is unacceptable. They are outright broken.

 

[Doppelmonger]

For some reason, I can not use the "ñ" character with the updated font and it defaults to the "n" in both uppercase and lowercase, I have to use another one for it to show up properly.

Other than that, I appreciate the effort made with the font.

All in favor in changing the Quattrocento font name into the Official Kiwifarms® font. Say aye!

Attached are three zip files.

Quattrocento.zip is the default font from Google fonts. This has two problems: (1) it is completely missing Cyrillic, (2) it has no lowercase ń, which greatly angers the pole.

Yes this defect is actually in the real version on Google right now for both the bold and regular variants.


So at the start of the war I hunted down the artist and paid him in crypto to make Quattrocento-Josh. This has Cyrillic.

However this did not quell the poles who demanded I add the ń. Yesterday I painstakingly made Quattrocento-20251001.zip, which has the ń, crafted by hand. Now Cyrillic doesn't work right.

Someone, please fucking fix this, I'm so sick of looking at it. If I can throw it on Github or something let me know. I love Quattrocento, it's so distinct, it's so readable, it's so elegant, it's been our font for like 10 fucking years, I'm not changing it.

@OwO What's This? fix it, you fixed it that one time before. I don't feel like it.

I am utterly incompetent and this is my first time dealing with a font editor, but with the power of friendship and Dunning-Kruger I think I did it.

I stole an ogonek (the tail on ąę) from Lora, and based on that autogenerated (FontForge > Element > Build > Build Accented Glyph) and manually adjusted a bunch of Latin-2 accenteds. Checking with a test page it should be fine, but keep a backup of whatever was there before in case I broke something. Or wait for someone competent. The font name was not changed internally.

I don't understand, were the polish letters not available to begin with? They should have been in the base font right? Were there just several missing?

 

[Kapitan Bomba]

I think? I'm not sure about what's happening, but if I open the "original" Quattrocento.ttf in FF the only Polish characters available are Óó (which are in Latin-1, so they're almost always in fonts) and the uppercase Ń. Same for the Russified variant. Over that, the 2025 version only adds the lowercase ń.

I don't know what kind of magic managed to keep some of the letters working before. The tester on Google Fonts doesn't render Polish characters either, except Ń.

i'll have myself a looksee if whatever @Kapitan Bomba did doesn't work out

I'm suspicious of it because the poles are saying it worked before so I feel like he missed something

shrug, I think this is working?

the font in the "Jo-" zip only came in .eot (which I've never seen before) but a search told me that it was a form of opentype and while my font program didn't support exporting it as that it could open them

so i went ahead and slapped in the ń from 20251001 and saved it as otf and it seems to work fine based on my tests I think

unless im missing something idk

 

[OwO What's This?]

@Null so did it work orrrrr

I haven't tested it and I'm in bed but @dumbledore said it was fucked

 

[OwO What's This?]

I haven't tested it and I'm in bed but @dumbledore said it was fucked

what exactly is wrong? I tested it on a page with a bunch of polish and russian characters and i didn't see anything wrong

i guess just use @Kapitan Bomba's idk

His is missing Russian, yours didn't have all the polish

 

[OwO What's This?]

His is missing Russian, yours didn't have all the polish

your post said "[...] Quattrocento-Josh. This has Cyrillic." and i used the fonts in the QuattrocentoJo-.zip file as the baseline, so i guess i misunderstood

so the fonts in the Quattrocento.zip folder need to be the baseline, with polish from QuattrocentoJo-.zip and then the lowercase Ń from the 20251001 one?

 

[Null]

There's no Russian in the base language. Jo should have it

 

[Kapitan Bomba]

His is missing Russian

Huh? My edit is based on the Jo version, and I didn't touch the Russian. It should be all there.
