Download Font Baskerville

I just went from passcode secure to public with my website and my font changed completely?? I just used a Plug In for Translation and now it looks really terrible. I deleted the code but I have no idea how to repair it.
Also, I wouldn't expect a translation service to affect the fonts, so this may be an issue that is limited to your computer or browser. Have you tried to clear the cache in the browser? Or do you have any fonts installed on your computer that are called Poppins and have a different typeface design?
My first thought was that this has something to do with the font we're using, so I changed that text to have font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif. Some google research made me think those font settings were widely supported and shouldn't cause problems, but our users are still having the issue.
The font we're using is Libre Baskerville, which we're loading through the Google Fonts API. It renders fine on screen, and actually prints with no issue from some of the printers at our client's office. The text only comes out garbled when printed on a Lexmark MS410dn.
I saw these same types of printing errors. I created a PDF in Indesign on Windows 10 using the Libre Baskerville font. When I tried to print the PDF on OSX using Preview I got the same garbled glyphs seen above. I fixed it by uninstalling the Libre Baskerville fonts which were Truetype format and installing Libre Baskerville fonts in Opentype format and resetting the fonts in the document. It seemed to work.
In the end the simplest solution was to use a different font for printing. The issue only happened with the Libre Baskerville font on a few specific printers, so in our print.css stylesheet we just use a basic serif font instead. Not ideal, but at least the printouts are legible.
In the original post I said that I had tried switching the font in the printouts and users were still having problems. This turned out to be due to caching of the print.css stylesheet, so that fix actually did solve the problem.
For the record (and anyone reading this with a similar issue), I had exactly the same issue trying to print a document written in Libre Baskerville on my laptop, in LibreOffice. The font is embedded in both RTF and PDF formats and the text is garbled in the same way. I also worked around the issue by changing to a different font. It's a pity as LibreBaskerville is a nice font.
Try replacing the True Type version of the font with the Open Type version - I am now able to print Libre Baskerville with no issues. The Open Type version is not easy to find as most downloads (including Google Fonts) only give you the option of a .ttf file. Search for a .otf file version - I found one here: -free-font/libre-baskerville
It might be that the imported font files have some errors in them. Sometimes, if you use a online font to webfont converter it makes some mistakes with the conversion. You could try Google Fonts. Find a serif font that you like and use their files and import scripts.
A typical desktop font EULA will allow you to install the font on your computer for use with authoring tools including word processors, design tools and other applications that permit font selection. Fonts can also be used for the creation of print documents, static images (JPEG, TIFF, PNG) and logos. The cost of a desktop font license is determined by the number of users who will have access to the font. View the desktop EULA for this family

Electronic Doc licensing allows the embedding of fonts in electronic publications, like eBooks, digital magazines and journals. At checkout, just specify the number of issues. Yet if the font is not embedded but used to create a static image, like the cover of an e-book, you will need a separate Desktop font license. Each Electronic Publishing license is valid for one year. This also covers format variations, and updated versions of publications that are issued free to already existing readers. However every new issue of an e-periodical is considered a separate, new publication, as are newly issued versions of existing publications. Learn more about licenses for Electronic Doc
From Wikipedia: "All computers running Microsoft's Windows 7 operating system or newer can display the entire Deseret alphabet Unicode range as the glyphs are included in the Segoe UI Symbol font."
This traditional serif font traces its heritage to a typeface designed in 1757 by John Baskerville whose aim was to improve legibility over older serif faces. By increasing the contrast between thick and thin strokes, and giving the letterforms a more regular shape, his design has become a classic. A research study showed that the use of the Baskerville font increased the likelihood of the reader agreeing with a statement over other typefaces: it conveys authority and intelligence.
Libre Baskerville is an updated and redrawn version of the font created by Argentinian type designer Pablo Impallari. This new version has a taller x height, which optimizes its legibility on screen, while still working beautifully in print. It is a free, open-source font, making it easily downloadable without license restrictions.
It is a free, open-source font, making it easily downloadable without license restrictions. In cases where it is not possible or practical to use Source Sans Pro, these fonts may be substituted: Open Sans, Calibri, or Arial.
Rockwell was designed in 1934 by Frank Hinman Pierpont and published by the Monotype Foundry. It is based upon several earlier geometric typefaces from the early 20th century, including Litho Antique distributed by a St. Louis type foundry. Slab serif fonts retain a bold, nostalgic and somewhat casual air, recalling their original use on posters and handbills. Today, this mono-weighted face is well suited to headlines and other display applications that require a confident tone. It should not be used for body text.
Any font that comes bundled with your operating system is provided under the EULA that comes with the OS. In all cases currently (2014), a font that is bundled with the OS is licensed for use in any project, commercial or otherwise. That includes logos.
Every font should have a licence that tells you exactly what you can do or cannot do using this font. Some fonts require that you mention the author, some require that you buy a licence if it's going to be used for commercial work. If you are uncertain, you'd better contact the author of the font.
Everywhere I look I see it only free for personal use, HOWEVER, the font is created in the 18th century (yes, more than 200 years ago), so I can't understand why it 'isn't free for commercial use? Just doesn't seem right.

The goals of the Open Font License (OFL) are to stimulate worldwide development of collaborative font projects, to support the font creation efforts of academic and linguistic communities, and to provide a free and open framework in which fonts may be shared and improved in partnership with others.
The OFL allows the licensed fonts to be used, studied, modified and redistributed freely as long as they are not sold by themselves. The fonts, including any derivative works, can be bundled, embedded, redistributed and/or sold with any software provided that any reserved names are not used by derivative works. The fonts and derivatives, however, cannot be released under any other type of license. The requirement for fonts to remain under this license does not apply to any document created using the fonts or their derivatives.
3) No Modified Version of the Font Software may use the Reserved Font Name(s) unless explicit written permission is granted by the corresponding Copyright Holder. This restriction only applies to the primary font name as presented to the users.
5) The Font Software, modified or unmodified, in part or in whole, must be distributed entirely under this license, and must not be distributed under any other license. The requirement for fonts to remain under this license does not apply to any document created using the Font Software.
The license for this font is the SIL OFL license. This license does not allow us to redistribute derivative versions of the font without wholesale name changes inside and out of the font. Until we figure out a reasonable method of delivering these to you and complying with the license, you will have to use the Webfont Generator yourself on these, renaming the fonts appropriately.
NX Baskerville is a serif font family based on Libre Baskerville. It adds a Bold Italic style and makes some other minor tweaks. The original Libre Baskerville was designed by Pablo Impallari and Rodrigo Fuenzalida.
In this day and age, our fonts for MLA format are limited to Times New Roman, Courier and Ariel. Nobody honors the plight of the Libre Baskerville font, help us broaden the range of fonts for MLA format by including Baskerville.
The Baskerville font was created by John Baskerville in an attempt to make the most stylish book possible. At this he succeeded, presenting those magnificent thin lines, and the sexy stroke contrast it is the most fashionable font out there.
The files below are all in PDF format; if clicking on one of the files doesn't automatically bring up the Adobe Acrobat Reader, you will need to get a copy (it's free) from Adobe. The font used is John Baskerville, from Storm Foundries, which is very close to the original and includes all the characters used in this book. The original pages are slightly larger than half of an 8 x 11" piece of paper, so all dimensions of the original were reduced by about 8% to fit (e. g., the typeface is 13 point, rather than the original 14 point).
