v3.8

• Possibly breaking change: Variable italic axis (really, slnt axis) has been inverted (negated) — a negative value causes the text to lean rightwards. This is only a breaking change if you are using the multi-axis variable font (Inter.var) and define slant angle using high-level CSS properties like font-style. This change was done to comply with the convention defined in the OpenType spec. #175 #172
• Variable font files are now significantly smaller thanks to #171 and #169
  • Inter.var.woff2 v3.7: 393kB, v3.8: 306kB
  • Inter-upright.var.woff2 v3.7: 267kB, v3.8: 224kB
  • All this while v3.8 introduces a whole new set of glyphs, kerning and feature code.
• Adds several new glyphs, like double-stemmed arrows and enclosed alphanumerics & symbols
  • Warning sign #168
  • Copyleft symbol #165
  • Really long arrows, useful in ligatures like --->
  • Arrows with double-lined stems, useful for “assign to”, with ligatures defined for some combinations with equals, e.g. =>
  • Enclosed glyphs in circles and squares
• Fixes a bug where U+0430 Cyrillic lower-case a would not be substituted for a single-storey “a” with cv11 enabled. #179
• Fixes a bug with slant of Ͽ (U+03FF) #170 #169
• Some calt code has moved to liga (standard ligatures), specifically arrow ligatures. Automatic case alignment is still kept in calt. So, you can now disable calt to disable only case alignment, and disable liga to only disable arrow ligatures.
• Improvements to kerning, spacing and letterform details
• Improved Microsoft Windows installation instructions #173
