SUSE just open-sourced a typeface :)

    That’s fairly standard for serif fonts like times new roman, baskerville, etc. Although it is uncommon in modern sans serif fonts and/or fonts designed to be viewed on a screen.

      The Fira family has a similar fancy g for some reason

        Here in Germany at least, if you read almost any printed novel, the type face will include this type of g. It’s so common, that I didn’t realise it’d be strange for some people.

        (Although I do recall seeing a post about a kid that was confused by that weird letter, somewhere a while ago. Probably was still back on r*****)

          Yeah it’s common. I’m not confused by it, just like a normal g more.

            The commenter I responded to originally seemed confused/surprised by it, though.
