Description

Font Name

Hi,
I am new to this project and came here while debugging a system I was given.
The problem I found was, that the system uses npm to fetch the fonts, but Albert Sans was fetched in an older version this way.
According to https://github.com/usted/Albert-Sans there is a version 1.3 (internally 1.310) that some improvements, that we like to use.
