Cabin condensed not working as expected with TeXLive 2019?

TeX - LaTeX Asked by JorgeGT on January 13, 2021

I like to use the excellent Cabin Condensed font by Pablo Impallari. I switch to this font using the handy cabincondensed command defined by the cabin package. However, after I updated to TeXLive 2019 this command is not working as expected. To discard issues with my local installation, I used Overleaf to test this minimum example:

documentclass{report}
usepackage{cabin}
begin{document}
cabincondensed Hello world
end{document}

Unfortunately I get this:

However, if I switch the compiler to TeXLive 2018 (thanks Overleaf for that functionality) I get the expected font:

My question is, is the issue with the cabin package? With TeXLive 2019? And most importantly, is there a way to fix this?

One Answer

the command has changed (probably to adjust to some changes in LaTeX regarding font series): it now only switches the series, and not the font family. This means that you have to select the family too e.g. with cabin or sffamily (I'm not sure if this was intended).

Beside this, the command has a bug, it contains spurious spaces:

documentclass{report}
usepackage{cabin}
begin{document}
Hcabincabincondensed ello world
end{document}
