Sharp filled weight=700 "Bakery Dining" icon breaks when increasing grade or optical size

[ginnyTheCat]

As this is quite the niche axis combination, I'm just reporting it as I stumbled upon this when experimenting.

Oh my. That’s pretty bad.

The good news is, that is almost certainly due to mismatched start point positions across different masters in the variable font. It LOOKS horrible, but is usually a pretty easy fix.

There exist automated tests that can detect this sort of thing in other fonts, btw!
BUT the way the animated fill axis works in Material Symbols triggers false alerts for most of the icons in the font, so we can’t use that test here. :( sigh.

Fixing this now. It will be in the font version 2.861 (and higher).

The actual problem was reversed contours in some masters.
I am checking in the fixed version now, upstream, but TBD both:

• how quickly it will get served on Google Fonts
• when the downloadable files on this repo get updated (potentially much slower)
