Hello.
First, this is a beautiful font - Thank you for developing! I'm using Sora in a large branding project and have hit a few snags with some Windows users when creating powerpoint presentations and word docs. I cannot recreate this issue on a Mac in any application. So it's localized to the way windows (specifically Microsoft PPT and Word) handles bolding.
When someone on a Windows machine is using Thin, Extra Light, etc and uses the keyboard shortcut CTRL + B to bold words the display for certain letters becomes garbled. I'm guessing this happens because ctrl b just synthesizes a thicker weight of the currently selected thin font instead of switching to the real thicker font face (ie: Sora Regular, Semi-Bold, etc).
Here you can see when someone faux-bolds thin, portions of the lowercase w's and i's disappear.
When you look through the font list, they're all separate and not under the same family. I was wondering if it was a way the font names were organized in the family and if that might resolve the issue? Are they organized into separate faces instead of a group? Have you seen this issue before? Do you suggest installing the font in a specific way?
We've told them not to bold words in this way, but bad habits are hard to break :) Really hoping to continue using this beautiful font on this project and not have to default to a system font that is more "faux-bold friendly".
Thanks!
