Update Merriweather font to new version

[ghost]

The font Merriweather 2 years ago chaged they repo to one, under they foundry at Github/SorkinType. I would like to request an update to the latest version, or if I could do it, I more than happy to do it.

Production notes:
Don't forget to check if all open issues for Merriweather are fixed with this upgrade, and close them at the same tile.

Will be fixed soon in #4077

"soon"?

[EbenSorkin]

Yes. I’m hoping to have Au school and Briem school out with Simon and then focus on Merriweather, the how to design for SSA document and supporting the other African projects. I put five updates into the issues cue. They all got GF African Pri updates. They are Gelasio, Alatsi, Alata, Calistoga, and Voltaire. My hope now is that Merriweather can be concluded in 1-2 weeks.

status?

Au school and Breim are out of my hands and Merriweather is progressing. I am fixing Merriweather for small subcontractor errors and revised Glyph standards since they worked on it now. I think it will be mid-late Dec before I have completed all the fixes and re-kerned it.

I have this tentatively slated for onboarding this quarter. Is the development complete @EbenSorkin?

[EbenSorkin]

There is still some work to do on Italics I am about to swap into that after I review small caps. I had been hoping to get Cyrillic improvements in too but that may have to come by Summer. I am still hoping to be done by end of Jan.

@EbenSorkin What is the status of the Merriweather update in #7886? We closing in on a production freeze deadline and I'd like to understand if we are going to attempt to ship the Merriweather release this year. Ty!

[EbenSorkin]

Emma found 6 or so more issues so I am going to fix them this evening and then hopefully that's it.

@EbenSorkin Thank you for the corrections!
I think we can go ahead, I think @m4rc1e will do/update the PR next week, and I'll do a last revision there!
