Hillar was so kind and adapted some characters - he provided it here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00468.html
Could you please install it and provide feedback whether it behaves
better? I've never designed Spanish material, so I simply lack the
answer.
Alright well my feedback is that this isn't going so well.
I installed the file referenced in the email, under Linux 64bt (Ubuntu)
GNOME (a few times - with and without the old vegur files on the system)
Results [GIMP and InkScape]
- only light font is available. Regular, Medium and Bold actually use
the Light font. Space character is so small that the break between words
is for all intent an purpose none-existent.
The OTF link (http://ubuntuone.com/p/Zmf/) is called Medium, but the
properties describe them as Light. I thought I installed four different
files, but I can't find them again.
Nevertheless you're right: The blank width has been reduced (probably on
error), so it can't be used at the moment.
- the height metric changed a bit, the updated font is slightly taller
then it was from the Oct 2010 files
Didn't compare.
Results [LibreOffice (3.3.2)]
- Vegur again only displays light
- New twist, bold a word with special characters (some - the ones used
for Spanish) now they display as blank spaces. [see screenshot]

It seems that the font doesn't only contain the Light version -
otherwise the bold characters would be calculated from the light ones
without losing them in Bold.
But for the moment this font is not able to be used in languages with
unsupported characters.
So we are in a similar situation as last year in the OOo branding team.
Over there we searched thoroughly and decided to use M+ P1 as
accompanying font for the OOo logo.
I'd suggest to do the same here until the work on the Vegur font reaches
a more or less final status:

I don't know at the moment if this archive works on Windows too, but I
can't spend the time to look at it in dept at the moment.
Best regards
Bernhard
