This discussion was created from the release v6.1.0.

Something seems to have gone extremely wrong with the style naming in the TTF version of Plex Serif in this release - filed #469 about this.

#469 (comment)

We'll work on getting a fix out. For now if you need to use TTF you'll need to revert back to v6.0.2.

v6.1.1 is out and fixes this issue

[rfpng]

Sorry, I'm confused about the version numbers.
I just downloaded the newest TrueType and OpenType fonts and installed the IBMPlexMono TTF fonts (in Windows 10). The Version number for these fonts shows Version 2.3.
The IBMPlexSans fonts, however, show Version 3.004, the IBMPlexSerif fonts show Version 2.008, etc
Nowhere can I find the Version number 6.1.0.
Is this the way it should be or am I doing something wrong?

[tay1orjones]

@rfpng Sorry for the confusion - v6.1.0 contains multiple different families that each have their own respective version numbers. The collection of all these together comprise the v6.1.0 release that is published to @ibm/plex. Not every family is updated in every release so the discrete family version numbers will never align to one another, nor the version listed here and published to @ibm/plex.

The full list of everything and the discrete version numbers can be found on the releases page where all the changelogs are published.

Are old style figures going to be added to mono too? I can see they're added to sans.

An update for Plex Mono is underway which will include hanging numerals.
