I am using a special WordPress theme along with the Google Raleway (ExtraLight) font. Some Turkish characters on my site are not working well, although Raleway font has support for Turkish.

The system does not use template font directory.

I see the following line in the source: http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Raleway%3A200%7CMontserrat%3A700&subset=latin&ver=1442092301

What must I do to for the Turkish characters to work properly? I see unicode-range line on the googleapis.com's CSS - is it related to this problem? Please advise. I need to be able to use the following Turkish characters: ş, Ş, İ, ı, ğ, Ğ.

You request the font with the query parameter subset=latin. So you get only the latin glyphs. I bet Turkish glyphs are in some other subset.

https://developers.google.com/fonts/docs/getting_started#Subsets

Update:

I don't see other subsets for Raleway on Google Fonts.

  • where should i write these line? i can not modify auto fonts.googleapis.com's css.. – orhuncan Sep 24 '15 at 13:45
  • I don't know Wordpress. https://www.google.com/fonts > Search for raleway > add to collection > hit use. There are the options on how to include it. You claim 'Raleway font has Turkish support.' but the one supplied at Google doesn't. – allcaps Sep 24 '15 at 14:08
  • in 'Choose the character sets you want' section, there is only 'latin' option? no turkish.... ?? – orhuncan Sep 24 '15 at 14:16
  • Yes, that is my updated answer: There is no Turkish subset in Raleway as supplied by Google Fonts. Google doesn't even have a Turkish subset category. I think (but am not sure) that Turkish will live in their latin extended set. Not that that is available for Raleway... Maybe via http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/raleway – allcaps Sep 24 '15 at 14:49

    @orhuncan let us know how you solved this. You might even write an answer to your own question and accept that. It's the answers that make SO a useful resource for all developers. ;) – allcaps Sep 24 '15 at 20:43

Google Fonts doesn't offer Latin-extended subset of Raleway. Though, Raleway originally has it. You can you use it downloading from https://github.com/impallari/Raleway
