Open Sans is a horrible font, is there any chance that you could change the default font to something even remotely better? It is SO narrow and small, it's nearly impossible to read at normal sizes.
Further, it does not look the same in the editing mode as it does in the preview/run mode, which means you can't really plan spacing well.
Hi, Mike!
A lot has been going on since you wrote. I'm glad to tell you that our current version supports Google fonts and we have improved the experience when being in mac Retina environment.
Regarding the default font, we still use Open Sans font but in current version Indigo remembers your last used font and sets it automatically for the new UI elements that you add.
Once again, thank you for helping us make Indigo better. If you have any questions or more feedback about the product, we'd love to get your thoughts.
Best regards,ClaudiaIndigo Studio Team
I did make a minor tweak, just to better show the problem. The problem is that the 'Normal 400' is what renders condensed, while the 'light-300' is what the font should be.
Example, with fonts reduced to 14px
We will research this a bit. Just to check, is everything looking fine for you on this page? http://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Open+Sans
I don't think it's unique to Indigo. Take a look at the attached screenshot (link), here. You'll see the same problem. This happens pretty much anywhere someone's using open sans.
Thanks for clarifying, Mike! That looks like a bug for sure, coz what you are seeing is definitely nothing like Open Sans. Merely from the looks of it, the normal style is not rendering correctly. Bold and italics is fine. Is there any way you can send us an affected file?
Someone from support will follow up on this so that we can diagnose what's causing the bug. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
