Additional context If you need any more info, I can provide it. I'm using the variable Windows version on Windows 10 x64, and Adobe XD also denies displaying the italic version correctly. It shows as the regular version, no matter what weight. Same thing happens in PowerPoint. Happy to provide screenshosts if needed. @rsms This may have a similar solution to arrowtype/recursive#373 (comment)
Okay, actually, I got curious and looked a little deeper. It seems that the fsSelection is set correctly. In fact, when I installed fonts on Windows 10 from the So, this might be some kind of interaction between the variable & static fonts, or maybe MS Word just has a bug I’m not currently aware of, or maybe it’s another piece of metadata like Panose or macStyle. But, I was just exploring this out of academic curiosity and wanted to share what I found. Interesting, the same hinted version for me is still not looking like the bold cuts of the typeface in Word (this is on Mac - so perhaps the issue is on Word for desktop, be it PC or Mac). @goranalkovic
Can't have them both installed at the same time if they are using the same names. @kenmcd, I'm not @goranalkovic, but I think our issue is the same. I don't have the variable cut installed at the same time. Looks good in Word 2019 on Windows 10.0.19042 I too can confirm this looks like it's working on Windows 20H2 (19042.867) and Word & PowerPoint (16.0.801.20288). Thanks for fixing it! Morning all, Thanks so much for the time spent on this, it's definitely ironed out most of the issues. We've been doing a few tests here and have found that we're getting some pretty wild angles on some of the italics when exporting from word to PDF on windows. Namely the Italic versions of Medium, Extra Bold and SemiBold. Worth noting, these all show up fine in word itself, the error only appears when exported to PDF.  Cheers! Tim …My Export to PDF looks fine. @timwoolliscroft
@rsms it's working fine now with the 3.15 prerelase 🎉🎉 @rsms @timwoolliscroft
@kenmcd Below is a side-by-side screenshot comparison of the font within Word (looks good), when exported to PDF using either the Print to PDF or the Export > Create Adobe PDF functions, which uses the Adobe PDFMaker (I tried both and got the same result with a larger skew on the Inter Black, Medium, Extra Bold and SemiBold fonts), and then tried an actual print to PDF using File > Print > and choosing Adobe PDF as my printer and that version looks good too. It seems to be something about the default distiller settings in Word that must be set differently than the PDF printer settings. I tried playing around with some of the settings under the Edit > Preferences > Convert to PDF for Microsoft Word from within Acrobat, but that didn't make any difference when using the Export feature in Word and still showed the skew on the fonts, even when I specifically added the Inter fonts to the "Always Embed" option.
@timwoolliscroft @heatherhjl Can you confirm which fonts you are using? (Variable multi-axis, Variable single-axis, Constant OTF or Constant TTF) Can you also confirm that there is only one of these "flavors" installed and that you restarted the program after making changes to fonts on your system? What you see with the funky italics is @kenmcd points out — faux italics; Word applies a skew transformation to the font in order to create an appearance of italics (oblique.) I'm 95% certain that what's happening here is Word applying faux italic to fonts that are already italic. This could be an indication of a bug in the Inter metadata (which has changed to address an issue in Microsoft products in the pre-release) and/or it could indicate a font cache issue. Hi @rsms - I'm using the Inter Desktop OTF release from the zipped file you sent to
@timwoolliscroft yesterday and I uninstalled all prior versions before installing this one: The italics actually do look correct to me within Word and when I print to PDF using the actual Print function, but when I use the Export to PDF function from within Word that is where the italics skew more, but only for the four fonts mentioned above (Medium, SemiBold, Extra Black, and Extra Bold) - the others all look the same to me across all three versions. I can see it when I open both versions of the PDF file (printed and exported) within Acrobat and set them to the same zoom level and switch back and forth between them you can see the larger skew on those four. I'm attaching the two PDF files - the Inter Desktop Test is the exported file and the Inter Printed to PDF is the printed file. Inter Desktop Test.pdf
@heatherhjl thanks! Observation: the key instances (Thin Italic, Italic and Black Italic) are correct while the interpolated instances (in between) are messed up. So I poked at the constant OTF files that you have installed. The
They are identical so that's not what Word is tripping on. I've also checked @rsms - that is so odd because the Inter-BoldItalic does look correct so it is weird that it trips on the other instances. I think the angle that Word adds is 14, which is way too much in my opinion. This could have to do with how the PDF distiller is interpreting the fonts because in Word they are fine and when printed they are fine, it's only when they are distilled through the PDF export that those particular instances skew more.
No, it appears that Word is applying the fake italics to the regular font. The PDF library is having the problem. @kenmcd nice catch. I didn't have any more time today to look into the difference between the two PDF methods, and most will likely use the Adobe PDFMaker method if they have the add-in installed since it is right there in your face when you go to the File menu in Word. @heatherhjl I can make testing fonts tomorrow so we can check this theory. UGH! Will test tomorrow in LibreOffice and Affinity Publisher and see if their Export to PDF works. Labels MS Windows Microsoft Windows is a constant source of font issues :–)How do I stop Word from auto Bolding?it is attributable to an autoformat as you type setting - File > Options > Proofing > Autocorrect Options > Autoformat as you type - 'format the beginning of a list item like the one before it' and 'automatic numbered lists'. Uncheck the items on that page that you don't want to take over your formatting.
How do I stop Microsoft Word from underlining everything?When you want to stop underlining, press Ctrl+U again. You can also underline text and spaces in several other ways.
How do I stop Word from showing formatting?Turn the display of formatting marks on or off. Go to File > Help > Options > Display.. Under Always show these formatting marks on the screen, select the check box for each formatting mark that you always want to display regardless if the Show/Hide. button is turned on or off.. Why is my table of contents bolded?As Charles wrote, most likely what you are seeing has been caused by the presence of direct bold formatting in the headings in your document. Font formatting applied as direct formatting to heading text will be repeated in the table of contents.
