Description

The inverted question mark glyph (¿) in the Cantarell font (current Google Fonts version) remains incorrect or is rendered horizontally reversed.

This issue has been previously reported (reference may be made to Issue #269).

It is crucial that this character, which is fundamental to Spanish typography, is reviewed and corrected in the current repository version.

This rendering error is consistent and reproducible across all major software suites, including:

Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel)

Adobe Creative Cloud (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop)

Google Workspace (Docs, Slides, Sheets)

The persistence of this bug severely hinders the use of Cantarell for professional Spanish-language documents.
