Various versions of Inter Var

[diligiant]

Sorry in advance if that's a rookie question:

I came to discover Inter in latest tailwindcss releases notes and in their example, they are using "Inter Var".

I'm inclined to think that it refers to Inter.var.woff2 & Inter-Italic.var.woff2 in 4.0b Web folder but I'd love to be sure.

If that's so, does it mean that Variable is Desktop Variable in its own folder?

Thank you.

Hello. It seems to me that the "tailwindcss releases notes" shows an example. On the web platform you choose your font family name in the CSS @import statement (so you can call it "lolcat" or "Inter var" or whatever you like; you then must use that exact same name in use sites like font-family declarations.)

If you use https://rsms.me/inter/inter.css then it is set to Inter var for the variable font and Inter for the traditional constant fonts.

Now, the zip archive for version 4 contains constant font files for non-web use in the Desktop directory and non-web use variable fonts in the Variable directory. Web fonts are in the Web directory; here you find both constant and variable fonts since the web platform uses both.

I'm inclined to think that it refers to Inter.var.woff2 & Inter-Italic.var.woff2 in 4.0b Web folder but I'd love to be sure.

That's correct.

If that's so, does it mean that Variable is Desktop Variable in its own folder?

I'm not sure what you mean with this. Are you asking if the Variable directory contains web fonts? (see above; it does not)
