Why some glyphs are displayed incorrectlty if we use Roboto via google link? Is it possible to use all glyphs in the font via link?

For example, how infinity symbol looks like if we add file .ttf (or woff(2), whatever) in a project

But it doesn't work with the link

Why? Or it should work like this?

Yeah I just stumbled across this problem too. I'm pretty sure it's just falling back to another font that you have on your system - which is why it's a different glyph than you expect. Otherwise you'd see "tofu" - i.e. a square block indicating a missing glyph.

The worse part is that they don't actually tell you on the Google Fonts page that you're only getting a partial version of Roboto. Confused me for a while. You can get the "full" versions of Roboto here: https://github.com/googlefonts/roboto/tree/main/src/hinted

I don't think it's currently possible to get the full version via Google Fonts.
