Thanks for the report. We've had good results with the default test string BESbswy
. If the font is metric compatible with the fallback fonts it becomes harder to detect (though I've only seen a handful cases like this). Could you list a couple of fonts that are having difficulty with "abdef"? That sounds worth looking into.
I can see why Interstate PI might be troublesome. What unicode code points are those glyphs mapped to? As long as the default fallback for that code point has a very different width it should work.

I work for Font Bureau, and I haven't been able to find anyone who knows of an official charset listing for these fonts! So I had to pull them out of the fonts themselves.
Ignoring punctuation, these are the charsets for Interstate Pi:
- One: BDEFGHILNOPQRUZ0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
- Two: FGHJ0123456789abdefghijklmnopqrstuwxyz
- Three: CDEGHJKOPRXZ0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
- Four: Z0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
You can see what I'm talking about. There's no set of capital letters that is in all four!
When I tried "abdef", Interstate Pi One loaded but the other three didn't.
Thanks for reminding me about the fallbacks, I had totally forgotten to set those smartly. I'll let you know what I find.

Let me know how it goes. Interstate Pi does not appear to be on Webtype, so short of buying the typeface it is difficult for me to test :)

Tried it with Adobe Blank fallback and still no love. Incidently, this is BESbswy in IP One:
Obviously the Pi metrics should not have a problem being confused with any standard font. I can send you a copy if you want to experiment on it.

That would be great, thanks!

I have had better luck with the string "aeiou" — so this is not the end of the world, but I am still curious why missing characters in the font seems to kill it.

I must not have cleared my cache or something, because the fonts I thought weren't loading now do. So when used as designed, with a test string that is well supported by the font in question, it seems to be reliable. Sorry to bother you.
