Lato font missing letters in IE and Firefox

Question

WTF is going on with Lato Google Hosted (not sure about fontface) Font??? On IE 8, the font looks scrambled with letters missing and word spaces missing and I hear that it\'

Answer 1

The font was updated today, but the hinting regressed, so the update is being rolled back.

Answer 2

Lato 2.0 was released on Google Fonts today, however it has a problem:

Adam Twardoch, font developer, says, "In Lato 1, I used FontLab Studio to autohint the two thinnest weights and ttfautohint for the rest. In Lato 2, I used ttfautohint for all. This seems to not have been a good idea. I'll see what I can do about it very soon."

Meanwhile, the Google Fonts API will rollback the update today.
