We had to stop using this font as it didn't support back tick(`). Try typing ` multiple times in the search box.
We had reported this to Google some months back but got no response.
- bumblebeard 10y agoNothing looks wrong to me (Firefox/Debian). Are you sure it's a problem with the font?
- icebraining 10y agoI don't get it, what's the problem?
- taco_emoji 10y agoHere's a link to the issue on Github: https://github.com/googlei18n/noto-fonts/issues/736 https://github.com/googlei18n/noto-fonts/issues/736

- tux1968 10y agoDon't know what the problem looked like on your system, but there was no apparent problem here on Firefox/Linux.
- amyjess 10y agoChromium/Linux here, I can replicate it on the specimen page. https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Noto+Sans https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Noto+Sans Under the 'Styles' section, type: `foo` You'll see the first ` overlap the f. Now erase it all and type: ```` They all overlap each other and show up as just one `. Edit: from what it looks like, the problem is specific to the sans. I can't replicate it with the serif (https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Noto+Serif https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Noto+Serif if anyone wants to try).
- cpburns2009 10y agoI experience same problem with Firefox 47.0 on Ubuntu 15.10.
- gizmo385 10y agoFor me at least (Chrome), it seems like it isn't applying any surrounding spacing for the backtick. If you hit ` a few times and then hit some other character, they seem to occupy the same space in the text box.
- CodeMage 10y agoI can confirm this. When I type back tick in the search box, the cursor doesn't advance to the right. The next character I type after one or more back ticks will look like it has an accent on it (e.g. `````a becomes à). I'm using Chrome v53.0.2785.143m on Windows 7.
- snarfy 10y agoI get the same behavior on firefox nightly.
- TakerofVita 10y agoOn my system, it puts the backtick as an accent mark. When I type more than one backtick, they overlap. "`a" displays as "à". "``a" displays the same.
- foolong 10y agoCome on... google dead keys
- cpburns2009 10y agoSince when was the grave accent character a modifier or dead key on a computer keyboard? Using a compose key is one thing, but colons, carets, and tildes aren't magically combining with letters to form letters with diaereses, circumflexes, or tildes above them.
- mintplant 10y agoWindows does this with the US International keyboard enabled. `+a=à, '+e=é, "+o=ö, etc.
- Symbiote 10y agoOn many non-English layouts there are dead keys, and the ` key may not exist, except as a dead key. For example, the letters å, ø and æ are very common in Danish, so they have their own keys. The acute accent is sometimes used to mark stress, like é or ǿ, and this is done using a dead key -- it wouldn't make sense to have several keys just for this purpose. http://fontmeme.com/images/danish-keyboard-550x183.png http://fontmeme.com/images/danish-keyboard-550x183.png
- Normal_gaussian 10y agoA quick summary of this issue: - 'Dead' keys are keys used to modify the next character - The backtick / grave key behaved as such on a typewriter - ` + a = à - Noto web fonts behave like this - The latest Noto local fonts do not - The expected modern behaviour in English is ` + a -> `a - This is not necessarily the expected behaviour in other languages
- foolong 10y agoThis is not related to the font.
- Normal_gaussian 10y agoLocal font installed: http://i.imgur.com/ycRs3A0.png http://i.imgur.com/ycRs3A0.png Web font: http://i.imgur.com/TUKsIY4.png http://i.imgur.com/TUKsIY4.png See iverg's comment on the github issue: https://github.com/googlei18n/noto-fonts/issues/736 https://github.com/googlei18n/noto-fonts/issues/736 EDIT: To be clear, parent is technically correct. The problem is with the way "web fonts" is working, the actual 'font' is the same across both, just the web fonts are having fun.
- shawnz 10y ago> This is not necessarily the expected behaviour in other languages But isn't it normally the operating system's responsibility to implement this, depending on the keyboard layout?
- coldpie 10y agoOperating system? Buddy, this is web development. We're reinventing the whole stack on top of HTML and JavaScript. Welcome to the future.
- OJFord 10y ago> But isn't it normally the operating system's > responsibility to implement this Presumably the font has backticks, but they're (poorly) implementing this method of accenting in the demo web app to allow people to search for accented characters?
- kasbah 10y agoIt does happen in the search box as you say but I have been using Noto Sans for a while now on my site and it doesn't have this problem: https://kitnic.it/ https://kitnic.it/.
- Normal_gaussian 10y agoInteresting. After playing with it a bit I came to the example: You must not have local noto fonts installed for this to work. http://codepen.io/anon/pen/dpdOzk http://codepen.io/anon/pen/dpdOzk Using chromium we see that: Inheriting the font means the "bug" doesn't affect you. Adding a class with the font only affects textareas, not inputs. Adding the font directly affects both. Notably the google demonstration page has the rule: html,input,textarea{font-family:'noto sans',arial,sans-serif} this applies the noto bug directly to the input field.
