Inter font files comes in two versions: without TrueType hints
|
|
and "hinted"; with TrueType hints.
|
|
|
|
The folder called "Inter (Hinted, for Windows)" contains font files with
|
|
ClearType hints. All other folders contains font files without hints.

What are hints?
|
|
|
|
|
|
The TrueType hints are used by ClearType on Windows machines where ClearType
|
|
is enabled. This usually changes the appearance of the fonts and can in some
|
|
cases increase the legibility of text.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, hints are little computer programs that takes up considerable
|
|
disk space, meaning that font files with hints are larger than those without
|
|
hints. This might be a consideration when using web fonts.
|
|
|
|
The hints for Inter are automatically generated by a program called autohint.
