only 3 fonts available?

[zoran]

Its very strange that there are only 3 fonts available from the OpenSansCondensed font family...
- Open Sans Condensed Light
- Open Sans Condensed Light Italic
- Open Sans Condensed Bold
I wonder why aren't there the rest available? For example where are the Condensed Regular, Condensed SemiBold versions etc.?

Because the person who created the font didn't create the full set, OR Google didn't license them all (which means that Adobe Fonts couldn't license them either).

Thanks MacGizmo, still it makes me wonder cause its strange for one who creates a font not to complete it, at least make the most important styles.
I didnt understand what you say about the licensing part. What does Google have to do with AdobeFonts?

Open Sans is a font family created by Steve Matteson for Google. Google then licensed the fonts to Adobe (and probably others). It's possible that Steve only created those three font faces. Or perhaps he created the full font family but only sold the rights to those three to Google. I just don't know.
