This is a beta release of the upcoming version 4.0.
This is a major release with considerable changes compared to version 3.
Highlights:
- Six new additional "Display" designs which used to be a separate font, Inter Display. Now integrated into the variable font as an optical-size axis (
opsz) - Coordinate system changed to 2048. This addresses some issues with older (10+ years) postscript printer drivers and some software
- slnt (italic) variable-font axis has been removed. This addresses issues with web browsers unable to reliably apply italic styles. Also makes it possible for the Italic designs to diverge from the upright "roman" design, which is not possible when italic is an axis of one variable font.
- Lots of improvements to glyph design of all styles
