[Feature request]: 7 variant with a line through it

[brzzdev]

What feature are you proposing?

Was looking at Berkeley Mono, and they have this variant for 7

I think a version of this kind of 7 would fit the vibe of MonoLisa really well!

Wikipedia also states that

Most people in Continental Europe, Indonesia, and some in Britain, Ireland, and Canada, as well as Latin America

use this kind of 7

@brzzdev We are adding this feature likely as stytlistic set ss33.

[brzzdev]

@MarcusSterz Awesome! Looking forward to it

[brzzdev]

@MarcusSterz Any hint as to when this is likely to drop? 👀

Any reason for not doing this as a character variant? 👀

We are preparing a major update (v3) and it will be included there. Unfortunately I cannot give you a specific date since the whole website needs changes due to this update.

@mfocko There is an interesting thread about this topic:
https://forum.glyphsapp.com/t/stylistic-sets-vs-character-variants/22617

I generally refrain from using CVs since they are not sufficiently supported by adobe in their products.

I understand that for you as a developer it does not make a difference if it’s CV or SS.

Any updates on the new update? I assume this also means a paid upgrade from v2?

[MarcusSterz]

@nfejzic Sorry to keep you waiting here. There will be major upgrades in v3 and we are not ready to publish atm.

[brzzdev]

Any tease of when we can expect v3? or what to expect from it?

[nfejzic]

Hey @MarcusSterz, it's been over a year since this issue was opened, is the v3 still in works? Any estimated dates when we could expect it?

[MarcusSterz]

@nfejzic Hey, the fonts are ready but the website is not. Believe me, I would love to publish as soon as possible. I will be worth the wait for, I hope.

[brzzdev]

😢 I'm sure it will, but the wait is killer

[brzzdev]

I'm assuming 'Our upgrade policy for major versions' means it's close 🤫
