Is Japanese included in this release?
Reacted by Daniel Dyrnes@johnnyshields It's not, @BoldMonday do we have an update on the intended release date for Japanese?
@johnnyshields Our current estimate is sometime in June. The latter part of the month to be safe.
@mjabbink thanks, we're looking forward to it at TableCheck
It appears that the "split" fonts are included as font files in the latest
next, but they aren't declared in the CSS/SCSS. Is this because it's not done or are split fonts being phased out for 6.0?when will Hebrew be fixed? it's been almost a year since I reported kerning issues in Hebrew and someone said that it is already fixed but no new version is published... why wait on it?
@johnnyshields Correction, it looks like we'll be able to include IBM Plex Sans JP in this release.

Would love to hear the progress on this!
Reacted by HackgetsI am not a programmer, so I am waiting for a Japanese monospace font that is suitable for general use and still highly legible. That's why I have high hopes for IBM Plex.
In open source projects, it is unavoidable that Japanese language support is lacking. This is because there are few Japanese contributors, and I am ashamed of that.
We are observing an issue where non-breaking space ( ) becomes visible as ” □ ” when accessing from iPhone iOS 15.4 browser. This is for IBM Plex Sans JP font.
- This is not the case for iOS 15.3
- This phenomena is not observed on US page for non-breaking space
Might you be able to help? @BoldMonday
@Yoshiko321 I suspect this is a text encoding problem in 15.4 instead of a font problem. I'm afraid we're unable to help here.
The Bulgarian Minister of e-Government Bozhidar Bojanov has launched an initiative for Bulgarian institutions to use fonts that support Bulgarian Cyrillic. Source: https://www.facebook.com/bozhidar.bozhanov/posts/pfbid036YFX1SuEjFv4Mzg4WGfdnmCSG6yKT5f4wBokqjZigxCER6tkFdmrxzsD6xeedLBzl
The IBM Plex font is widely used in the Bulgarian web and I suggest you add support for the Bulgarian Cyrillic Script so that everyone can take advantage of it. You can read more about the loclBGR glyphs with examples and info on this article - https://www.lettersoup.de/what-shall-be-done-for-bulgarian-cyrillic-loclbgr/. More detailed information can be found here - https://www.fontfabric.com/blog/rounded-bulgarian-cyrillic-narrative-and-comparison/.
I will be more than grateful if you consider my proposal!
Reacted by Botio Nikoltchev and Omar AssadiSeems like version 7.0 still doesn’t support Chinese… How many Chinese characters will be included in IBM Plex Sans SC & TC and when will they come out?
Reacted by Craig HartVery much looking forward to supporting the Chinese.
Is there any reason why Plex Sans TC and SC got delayed yet again to 2024? The Plex website still says 2023.
I don't want to speculate, but manually drawing new Chinese glyphs and extensive quality checks may be one of the reasons?
Are Greek/Cyrillic support for Variable planned?
