Google Font "inter" strangely made corrupt display

[rsrsrs]

i can hardly believe it
I have a font from Google "inter" and the A for example is made like an upside down V with a bar in the middle, which is just lying on it, so actually 2 objects.

Other letters like the e overlay themselves.

see attachment.


AN exported PDF from indesgin looks OK,
when I export the font from Xara I often have holes in the overlaps.

Is this really how fonts are made now?
What can I do to make it look reasonable as a pdf?

I suspect this is why people pay money for curated fonts. inter, however, is a Variable Font, so such constructions might be required. The variables axes are Weight and Slant.

I have not tried it through Xara but it requires styling, like:
<style>
@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Inter:slnt,wght@-1,423&display=swap');
</style>

The simplest solution might be to not have a Line width. i have bot seen the artefacts when there is none.

I don't know what your use case is but one method is to overlay with a coloured rectangle and group the under-text and Apply Clipview (Q).
Works well for PDF as the result stays as text. In the Web it becomes an image.
it is deadly slow for lots of text.

I don't recommend converting to editable shapes as you then have to break shapes and combine to get rid of the overlaps and separate shapes.

Are you viewing the PDF export in Adobe Reader? If you change the zoom level in Adobe Reader, then do the spaces appear and disappear?

Yes.

i found a solution here

https://github.com/google/fonts/issu...ent-1482596161

somewhere in the zip is a odf font which works.

Did this issue happen with the PDF from Indesign as well, or only with the Xara PDF export?
If the issue does not happen with the Indesign export, then we would like to see the PDF.

We believe it is an issue with Adobe Reader, and we would like to confirm it.

Thanks,
Matt

FWIW if you download INTER family from google fonts it includes static fonts as well as the variable one...

I like this font
