Google webfonts that support UTF-8 (Turkish) characters?

Does anybody know, which fonts support Turkish characters without a problem? Sans or Serif doesn't matter.

Example: İ Ü Ç Ğ Ö...

most fonts fonts from google fonts support utf-8. If you go to google.com/fonts and change the sample phrase to something with those latin characters you will see the font sets support them. You may have an encoding problem with your page – Valueless 12/3, 2014 at 16:3

Yes but majority goes all funny when using block capitals :/ – Phosphorylase 12/3, 2014 at 16:6

Hmmm, what OS and browser are you using? do you have a link that I can test. i am almost sure the problem is not the fonts, I work with Google fonts on a number of international projects here. almost all my "font" problems were encoding. – Valueless 12/3, 2014 at 16:12

Windows 7, Firefox, ythaber.com. – Phosphorylase 12/3, 2014 at 16:14

Ah yeah those font suck :D Sorry for my ignorance, what langauge is this? have you tried "Ubuntu Mono" – Valueless 12/3, 2014 at 16:24

No worries. It's Turkish. Ubuntu and some other fonts are displaying fine at Google Fonts. I'm trying it now on my website. Will add my own answer with a lot of typefaces if they display fine. – Phosphorylase 12/3, 2014 at 16:27

Update: Same issue with Duru and Ubuntu. 'İ' and 'Ğ' are the weird ones. – Phosphorylase 12/3, 2014 at 16:30

Ok buddy I think I found what you need, check this site: fontsquirrel.com/fonts/list/language/turkish – Valueless 12/3, 2014 at 16:39

fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Aller looks good – Valueless 12/3, 2014 at 16:41

I would rephrase the question; you are probably looking for a font that supports all characters used in Turkish. Calling them UTF-8 characters is correct, but not very helpful. All common characters in all written languages in the world are also UTF-8 characters; UTF-8 is a character encoding standard that includes basically everything. – Gotthard 12/3, 2014 at 16:42

You are right Jeroen. I edited my question. @samuel wonderful! Exactly what I needed. – Phosphorylase 12/3, 2014 at 16:51

Yeah JeroenHoek, when I read the question, it was easy to see there was more to this problem then a simple font issue. Now we have it narrowed down to a "font supporting Turkish" problem. – Valueless 12/3, 2014 at 16:52

I can add the link as a separate response so you can mark it as correct ;) – Valueless 12/3, 2014 at 16:53

Go for it :) However, still having issues with İ and Ğ in capitals :( Just ended it up editing my css -_- :D – Phosphorylase 12/3, 2014 at 16:55

You can find the fonts organized by language here.

Actually google fonts comes with latin ext support you just have to add

&subset=latin,latin-ext

at end of defination of your font.

<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans&subset=latin,latin-ext' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

Yes, im turkish too :)

I'm not sure if this is the way I've been doing it but does the fonts display properly in capitals this way? (Note: See the difference between Ö and the rest on the attachment) – Phosphorylase 16/1, 2015 at 19:26

You can try byyourself too, we are using google fonts at most of our project, so far no issues, Öö Çç Ğğ and even İı no issues. – Middleclass 23/1, 2015 at 16:59

I must add, this is the best solution for google web fonts Turkish Char problem with something lacking: IF the font supports Turkish characters in google web fonts page then extending the url with &subset=latin,latin-ext will make the Turkish characters formatted correctly. So, what I always do with google web fonts is that I test the fonts by using my own text which is: gğ GĞ cç CÇ sş SŞ ıI iİ oö OÖ uü UÜ and then when using it in my projects extend the URL with &subset=latin,latin-ext – Graecize 2/5, 2015 at 17:13

Was just looking at Duru Sans and Alegreya Sans. Thus, Ubuntu Mono working like a charm as well. – Phosphorylase 12/3, 2014 at 16:9

If you want to download the font files, use the google webfonts helper below. Make sure to check that the latin-ext subset of the font that you want to download exists there
