Black weight difference

[m4rc1e]

I know I've mentioned this before but I think this weight increase is a deal breaker atm.

At GF, we've had a lot of complaints when we've deviated too much from previous releases.

When i worked on this updated version of Cairo the main goal was to have it 100% matching with the current Titillium Web so we can merge the two families as one under the title Titillium Web
and using the provided masters from Titillium Web creators this is the actual black weight to match

so @davelab6 what do you advice to do

[m4rc1e]

I see!

Thank you for the explanation.

Arabic is primarily, Latin is secondary

@davelab6 what do you advice to do?
have two versions? one with the black matching old cairo weight and one with the black matching Titillium Web?

[davelab6]

The family should be the best it can be

Just compared this version of Cairo to the latest Titilium. Cairo's Black is now same weight as Titilium's.

If we did PR this, people will complain and our alibi is the fact it now matches the Latin counterpart.

[davelab6]

It may be that titillium is delisted due to rfn and upstream going dark

Current version of Cairo is the best it can be
and i personally would love for it to go with the heavier weight if possible
but also open to all suggestions

[davelab6]

Yeah let's do it then but be sure to explain why in the PR and tweet out the PR link in English and Arabic to warn people

I will be promoting about the new release heavily anyway so will totally do
i believe the new release is way better than the older one and people need to know that

I'm closing this issue now as the weight difference issue is solved in the new build
