`Inter.glyphspackage` directory (a macOS "bundle.")
#### Editing UFO sources
In some cases you might want to edit or inspect the fonts as UFOs.
Inter is compiled to UFO as an intermediary step.
The quickest path to UFOs is to run `make -j$(nproc) build/ufo/Inter-DisplayMedium.ufo`. Substitute "Inter-DisplayMedium.ufo" for any style.
The quickest path to a designspace is to run `make -j$(nproc) build/ufo/Inter-Roman.designspace`
However, if you indend to edit the fonts you probably want to use the `editable-ufos` make target instead:
make -j$(nproc) editable-ufos
This generates all designspaces and UFOs, suitable for editing, in `build/ufo-editable/`. The main difference between `editable-ufos` and the intermediary UFOs in `build/ufo/` is that the "editable" ones does not have any processing applied to them: all components, anchors and paths are represented as-is in the original Glyphs source.
### Interactive Lab
This project comes with a simple web-based application for debugging and previewing the font. It's a very useful tool to have when working on the font.
