This removes the slant/italic variable axis and breaks up the font in two: roman and italic. This change will allow diverging designs for italic (for example single-storey a). It also addresses the fact that most software, including web browsers, doesn't handle VFs with slnt or ital well.

Installing on Linux:
|
|
|
|
There are many different Linux distributions and some handle font management
|
|
differently. These instructions are for the most common Linux distributions:
|
|
|
|
1. Create a folder called ".fonts" in your home directory.
|
|
Example: mkdir -p ~/.fonts
|
|
|
|
2. Copy the otf files in the "Desktop" folder into your .fonts directory
|
|
Example: cp "Desktop"/*.otf ~/.fonts/
|
|
|
|
You may have to restart apps and/or your window server session.
|
|
|
|
Again, these instructions are for the most common Linux distributuons like
|
|
Ubuntu and might not apply to you. Refer to the documentation for your
|
|
distribution for more details on how to manage fonts in your OS.

Q&A
|
|
|
|
Q: I installed the fonts but they don't show up
|
|
A: Try rebuilding the font database:
|
|
sudo fc-cache -f -v
|
|
Then restart your program(s).
|
|
|
|
Q: Is there a way to tell if Inter was actually installed?
|
|
A: Try running: fc-list | grep "Inter"
|
|
|
|
Q: ~/.fonts is an old thing. The new thing is ~/.local/share/fonts
|
|
A: Yes, that is true for recent distributions. These distros usually support
|
|
~/.fonts as well making these instructions work for everyone. Yay.
