This is an early beta version of the next major release.
Please use it only for testing, not production, and give us your feedback.
This major release includes spacing changes to some glyphs, so text in existing documents may reflow. However, the spacing changes are mostly for rare glyphs that most users are not likely to use. If you see significant differences in layout between version 5.000 and this version of the fonts please let us know.
Please send any feedback to [email protected] - Thank you!
