Inconsistent superscript numbers

[jounathaen]

Description

In the following code, the first three numbers of the footnotes are bold (?), and from four onward they are not anymore. However, this does only happen with some fonts (like CMU Serif or CMU Serif Extra).

#set text(
  font: "CMU Serif",
)

= Header

Some text with footnotes.

test #footnote[asdf 1 asdf]
test #footnote[asdf 2 asdf]
test #footnote[asdf *3* asdf]
test #footnote[asdf 4 asdf]
test #footnote[asdf *5* asdf]

Try setting the typographic option of https://typst.app/docs/reference/text/super/ to false

I suspect some of the fonts may not include all the necessary codepoints

[jounathaen]

Yes, that is a valid workaround. Thanks

I don't think there's anything we can do about this. The font just doesn't have more of those glyphs.

It is probably not a good idea for all superscript cases, but for footnote numbers it might make sense to emit a warning if some numbers have superscript glyphs, but a certain one has not.
Like The selected font has no superscript glyph for '4'. Try disabling the "typographic" option of "super" for consistency

I don't think there's anything we can do about this. The font just doesn't have more of those glyphs.

What about only enabling the typographic option in the case the font has a complete set of script characters?

The transition is the distracting part.

[laurmaedje]

That sounds like a quite good idea.

We'll need to check how coverage looks for common fonts.
