- id: faq-using-features
q: "How do I enable and disable font features?"
a: |
In web browsers you can use
[<q>font-feature-settings</q>](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/font-feature-settings).
In Figma you can access features via the
[Advanced Type panel](https://help.figma.com/article/250-working-with-fonts#opentype).
In Illustrator, Photoshop and friends, you can access features via the
[Characters and OpenType panels](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/special-characters.html#opentype_panel_overview).
Sketch doesn't provide a UI for configuring font features, but there's
[a workaround using macOS's native font UI](https://sketchtalk.io/discussion/comment/1478/#Comment_1478).
- id: faq-cdn
q: "How reliable are the fonts served from rsms.me/inter?"
a: |
<q>https://rsms.me/inter/inter.css</q> and the Inter font
files are distributed globally over CloudFlare's CDN.
This is very reliable and fast by automatically serving the fonts
from a server near your users, minimizing the latency of your web pages.
- id: faq-subset
q: "How do I subset the font files?"
a: |
Have a look at [pyftsubset](https://fonttools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/subset/)
- id: faq-otfeat-customize-compile
q: "Can I change what OpenType features are enabled by default?"
a: |
Have a look at [OpenType Feature Freezer](https://twardoch.github.io/fonttools-opentype-feature-freezer/).
It allows you to customize fonts with certain
OpenType features "on by default."
- id: faq-contribute
q: "Can I help with improving Inter?"
a: |
Yes you can! Inter is an open-source project, meaning the source
code—or "source design" if you will—that is used to build the font files
[are freely available](https://github.com/rsms/inter) to improve upon.
Font making requires a fair bit of technical work and
depending on what you'd like to do, some things might be more fun
depending on your technical skills.
The ["Contributing" document](https://github.com/rsms/inter/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) is a great place to start.
This document outlines where you can have the biggest impact,
how things are setup and how to get started.
- id: faq-inuse
q: "I've made a cool thing that uses Inter"
a: |
[Share what you've made in "Show and Tell"](https://github.com/rsms/inter/discussions/categories/show-and-tell)
- id: faq-bug
q: "Where can I report technical problems with Inter?"
a: |
Please [submit a bug report on GitHub](https://github.com/rsms/inter/issues/new?template=bug_report.md)
- id: faq-contact
q: "I have a question, where can I get help?"
a: |
Start by searching [issues](https://github.com/rsms/inter/issues?q=%22YOUR+ISSUE%22) & [discussions](https://github.com/rsms/inter/discussions?discussions_q=%22YOUR+ISSUE%22) for an answer.
If that didn't help, ask your question in
[the "Q&A" forum](https://github.com/rsms/inter/discussions/categories/q-a).
- id: faq-start-date
q: "This website claims work started in 2016, but the git repository's log says it started later?"
a: |
Inter was developed in a private, internal git repository
starting in November 2016, prior to being published on August 22, 2017.
Between November 2016 and August 2017, there were
<span class=num>2,990,150</span> line edits made across 247 versions.
- id: faq-old-website
q: "I miss something from the old website"
a: |
Have a pleasant surf on
[a snapshot of the old version 3 website](https://d.rsms.me/inter-website/v3/)
