Inter with optional open type features turned on?

I didn't know fonts can have options. Another learning curve on how to enable that in Latex/Html/Libreoffice/anywhere else I use fonts ^^'. But still helpful to know about!

ss02 disambiguation seems to be the one I'd be wanting to turn on, with tnum for monospace numbers being a good option as well that I hadn't even realised I wanted from a font!

Yeah, those features are awesome! Sadly support for them is quite lacking in applications...

Tabular numbers are awesome!

I feel like there should be a GUI tool to bake in any alternates into the font itself.

Ok, I'll make it!

You mean like Commit Mono does? https://commitmono.com/

Something like that! But for any font.

I think fontTools instancer could work here, though it’s a CLI: https://fonttools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/varLib/instancer....
