I personally have 2 "complaints":

  1. the 1 is confusing
  2. the "baseline" is weird for this font. <--- less of an issue
enhancement frontend good first issue help welcome

The 2 complaints are both just about the 10 digits, right?

I am going to assume that it is, and otherwise refer to #2

The typeface contains variants that solve these problems:

but these are not included in the google-fonts-compiled version
https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Vollkorn

(which we get from
https://github.com/fontsource/fontsource/tree/master/packages/vollkorn
to avoid CDN issues)

The solution could be to use the original fonts:
https://github.com/FAlthausen/Vollkorn-Typeface

but these still need to be compiled to WOFF2:
https://github.com/google/woff2

We can then host them on our own fork of the Vollkorn repo, tag a release, and get them from jsdelivr

The fork is here:

if anyone wants to contribute

@fonsp opened a PR to your fork

I'm fine with anything but the first. personally like the second one

Opened a PR that uses the second one. I think the third is for tables (kind-of-fixed witdth?)

I love the slashed zero, but it fits in tables/codeblocks (the JuliaMono dotted zero triggers my trypophobia I think)
