Red alert! Expect some surprising behaviour in Windows, with inexplicably inaccessible styles, and a few hours of head-scratching, and TTXing, to figure out what is going on.
Can you spot the difference?
Ok, jokes aside: Is this an intentional behaviour? Is this a known issue? Am I missing why it makes sense that a “black” Regular, without any checkboxes ticked, leads to a different behaviour than an empty text field? It is very easy to miss. What could be the scenario in which this is beneficial?
If neither Bold not Italic is checked then I’d have expected that the contents of the text field on the right do not have any impact on the exported fonts.
However, if the text field contains the text “Regular” (which is shown in black) then this leads to a different result than if it is empty (in which case it shows a grey “Regular”, i.e. the placeholder string).
• This is unexpected, as neither of the accompanying checkboxes are checked.
• This is difficult to spot because the only difference is the tint of “Regular”.
• The current behaviour with un-checked checkboxes and empty text field does not make much sense per se (feel free to correct me there).
