Custom fonts acting weird on iOS with 2.5.3

See original GitHub issue

Hi Guys,

After this weekend our custom fonts are acting weird on iOS. After some investigation we found out that there is a new tns-core-modules version 2.5.3. In our package.json we have "tns-core-modules": "~2.5.2" and because of the tilde it was updated automatically to 2.5.3. This release broke our application and we spend a lot of time to figure out what went wrong.

I’m curious what was changed and why version 2.5.3 broke our application. But I could not find an issue, pull request, changelog or git tag related to 2.5.3 except for this branch https://github.com/NativeScript/NativeScript/commits/font-weight-fixes-2.5 So I’m left with two questions:

  • What changed in 2.5.3 ?
  • Why is this release not documented?

Kind regards, Henk Bakker

@NickIliev tnx for the feedback! I have created an example repo https://github.com/Essent/font-issue-2.5.3. While working on this example and looking into to the mentioned issue I think I found a solution: adding font-weight: 800 to css. This was functionality which would not work before, as mentioned in the issue. So we never added it any where in our application.
