DetailsThe Inter font currently packages the OTF versions. A problem with OpenType fonts is that most of them are unhinted, and freetype would not invoke the auto hinter due to probably complicated reasons.
Therefore, the TrueType versions available in the upstream release as "Inter Hinted for Windows" folder are preferred. They offer the usual hinting, and while the name says "for Windows", they are generated with ttfautohint which is used for the majority of TrueType fonts, and works on FreeType without any issues. If you want to compare/test the hinting behavior, try the "ftdiff" tool from freetype2-demos. |
