Italics!

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man…

That’s a whole new space to improve from Karla.

So, no italics?

[ms-studio]

Not for now. If using as webfont, you could still load Karla for the italic version.

[nclm]

Should we maybe add Karla’s italics in the source, and rename them Karmilla? Even if there’s no changes at first, and no exported fonts — it would simply be more inviting the day someone wants to start work on this.

I was on the fence but now +1 to adding italics from Karla to Karmilla as long as there is a clear notice that they have not been updated/enhanced from Karla. As said, it's much more likely they will be updated/added to by a new contributor (/any contributor) if they are present from Karla in this repo.

[ms-studio]

yes, agreed! let's add them, as well as BoldItalic

[codehunt]

Great to hear! It'll make it much easier for someone with the appropriate skill to add my much desired umlauts to å, ä and ö.

[pietrogregorini]

Yeah, this would be really appreciated, thanks.

Has this been added? I love Karla and when I heard there was an evolved version with support for more languages, I jumped to this.

[ms-studio]

Not yet ... To be honest, my use case for Karmilla is to work as a web font. For performance reasons, I often don't load the true italics and let the browser deal with it. You could also load Karmilla regular /bold together with the Karla italic version, and define a font stack such as font-family: Karmilla, Karla, sans-serif;.

[NetOpWibby]

That's the same as my use case but it turns out, I like using serif fonts for my italics. I did try Karla for the italics but then realized it kind of defeats the purpose of using it with a font with more language support.

Just added the Italic and BoldItalic from Karla. But it's still missing all the additional glyphs...
