Description Petr Viktorin 2017-10-26 15:50:52 UTC 
Hello,

When Czech words like "pusťte" or "ťuhýk" are set in Oxygen, the caron overlaps with the next letter. In most other fonts, the mark is above the t's horizontal stroke, so this doesn't happen.

(The "ď" glyph has a similar problem, though it's less noticeable, harder to fix, and common in other fonts. But that letter is not so common.)
Comment 1 Petr Viktorin 2017-10-26 15:53:27 UTC 
I can try to fix this, though I'm not a font designer and don't know the concepts and tooling.

I'd appreciate any pointers, if you think an amateur's contribution could be useful/worthwile.

My commit in https://github.com/KDE/oxygen-fonts/pull/2 already had the ttfs in it, but this website has an unhandled exception when the patch file contains binary changes, so I've manually removed it.
