Most fonts have “maintainance problems”, because fonts usually don’t need constant development. But the problem with EB Garamond is just that not all kerning and ligatures are perfect. > Another derived font, however, has a lot of activity: > > https://codeberg.org/m-casanova/Garamontio > > The only 'problem' is that ChangeLog entries are in Italian :-) That looks interesting, but very big problem for me is that this one messes with the angle of the italics. Like it reduces the cursive angle from -17 to -11.3 or something, which is kind of killing the character of the italics. Visually it is almost an upright italic. Which would be fine as variant, but I like the original Design by Granjon better.
