||
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.
