Installing font files + + Inter fonts comes in two flavors: Variable and Static + (InterVariable*.ttf and Inter.ttc, respectively) + + Variable fonts is a new format which allows you to choose any + weight and optical size. Variable fonts is a relatively new + technology and may not yet be supported by all your software. + Inter's variable font is called "Inter Variable" to avoid + confusion and to allow use alongside the traditional static fonts. + + Static fonts works with older software and uses a fixed set of + predefined mixtures of weight and optical size. For example + "Inter Display Medium" is Inter with maximum optical size and a + weight of 500. + + You will be installing both of these flavors. + + +1.1. Installing on Apple macOS + + 1. Open the "Font Book" application. + 2. In the main menu, select "File" → "Add Fonts..." + 3. Select "Inter.ttc", "InterVariable.ttf" and "InterVariable-Italic.ttf" + 4. Press the "Open" button + + Alternatively, if you prefer not to use Font Book, you can move or + copy the font files directly into ~/Library/Fonts/ + + +1.2. Installing on Microsoft Windows + + 1. Open the zip file you downloaded + 2. Select "Inter.ttc", "InterVariable.ttf" and "InterVariable-Italic.ttf" + 3. Right-click the selected files, choose "Install for all users" + + If you have a previous installation of Inter, you should make sure + to remove those fonts files before installing new ones. You need to + install the font for all users, as some software requires fonts to + be global. + + +1.3. Installing on Ubuntu Linux + + 1. Create a ".fonts" directory in your home. (mkdir -p ~/.fonts) + 2. Copy "Inter.ttc", "InterVariable.ttf" and "InterVariable-Italic.ttf" + into your .fonts directory (cp Inter.ttc *.ttf ~/.fonts/) + + You may have to restart apps and/or your window server session. + +--------------------------------------------------------------------- + +2. Using Inter in Web content + + 1. Copy all woff2 files and the inter.css file from the "Web" + directory to your web server + + 2. Add the following into your HTML <head>: + + <link rel="preconnect" href="https://your-domain/"> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://your-domain/inter.css"> + + Replace "your-domain" with the actual domain name where you host + the woff2 font files. + + 3. If you are using a CDN, disable any automatic compression for + the woff2 files (they are already compressed) and set the + following HTTP headers for the woff2 files: + + Content-Type: font/woff2 + Cache-Control: max-age=31536000 + + The CSS contains specific version information in the URLs used + to load the fonts, so this is safe for upgrading to newer + versions of Inter. + + 4. In your main document's CSS, add the following to use Inter: + + :root { font-family: 'Inter', sans-serif; } + @supports (font-variation-settings: normal) { + :root { font-family: 'Inter var', sans-serif; } + } + + There are many other ways of using Inter on the Web platform. + The instructions above is simply one way. + + If you prefer to not host the fonts yourself, you can use the + official Inter CDN, which as a bonus means you are always serving + the latest version of Inter to your users: + + <link rel="preconnect" href="https://rsms.me/"> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://rsms.me/inter/inter.css"> + +--------------------------------------------------------------------- + +3. Hinted TrueType fonts + + This distribution contains TrueType fonts with hints in "Inter.ttc" + + Microsoft Windows uses a technology called ClearType which alters + the shape of letters to increase sharpness, in particular for low- + density displays. This requires a font to have little programs + built into them, called TrueType hinting instructions, which lets + ClearType knows how to alter each character. + + The variable font is currently not available with TrueType hints, + only the traditional "static" font files are. This will hopefully + change in a future release. + + Note that the web fonts does not contain hints to minimize file + size. You can get hinted web fonts from the "extras/woff-hinted" + directory. + +--------------------------------------------------------------------- + +4. Extras + + The "extras" directory contains some additional "bonus" content: + + otf/ Static font files in CFF format + ttf/ Static font files with TrueType hints + woff-hinted/ Web fonts with TrueType hints + +--------------------------------------------------------------------- + +5.
