<ul class="faq">
<li class="q" id="faq-roboto-similar">
Some glyphs looks just like Roboto, is this typeface based on Roboto?
</li>
<li class="a">
Since this font is very <em>similar to Roboto</em>, glyph
outlines from Roboto are indeed being used, mainly as "placeholders"
while the glyph set is expanded. The Roboto license can be found in the
source directory.
</li>
<li class="q" id="faq-naming">
There's another font family with a similar name (InterFace).
How do I make sure I'm talking about the right font?
</li>
<li class="a">
The world is a small place and just like all the
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Erickson">Eric Ericksons</a>,
name alone somtimes does not suffice for unambiguous identity.
The best way to be clear about what font you are talking about is to
use the URL of this page (<pre>rsms.me/interface</pre>) when telling
people about it.
<a href="https://figma.com/">Design tools</a> and other software uses
<a href="https://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/name.htm#nameIDs">a set of information embedded into every font</a> for identity, so names are only
important for humans, not computers, and so you need not to worry about
"conflicts." At least not with well-behaved software.
</li>
<li class="q" id="faq-contribute">
Can I help with improving Interface?
</li>
<li class="a">
Yes you can! Interface is an open–source project, meaning the source
code—or "source design" if you will—that is used to build the font files
<a href="https://github.com/rsms/interface">are freely available</a> 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 <a href="https://github.com/rsms/interface/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md">"Contributing" document</a> is a great place to start. The document outlines where
you can have the biggest impact, how things are setup and how to get
started.
</li>
<li class="q" id="faq-start-date">
This website claims work started in 2016, but the git repository's log says it started later?
</li>
<li class="a">
Interface was developed in an 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 2&#x2006;990&#x2006;150 line edits made across 247 versions.
The reason the public github repository does not reflect this is the
fact that the project was initially only internal at the company where
the author works and had some sensitive information "checked in",
like AWS server details and internal author identity in
all commit messages. Maybe one day we can write an elaborate git
filter-branch program and convert the filter the old repository to make
it public, but what would be the point of that?&nbsp; :—)
