Add alternate square-shaped punctuation
I think that what you're asking for is square-shaped (or at least rectangle-shaped) punctuation. Inter contains hundreds of different glyphs that uses "dots" and "stop-like" shapes. The style of Inter is to use discs rather than rectangles for this, so what you are asking for is a pretty big deal — a change to the style and personality of the typeface.
This will probably not happen, but I will keep this request around for the future.
Yeah it's also on i, !, ? and many more places, I'd merge this with the Helvetica R :) (couldn't find it anymore)
Yes, in my opinion, Inter has many good alternates, and it's almost like the swiss army knife of open sourced sans fonts. It can be put in as alternates, and if someone doesn't want them, they don't have to see them, although it'll definitely be a pain if you want to make stuff like cvXX features, as you'll have to individually make each character again.
@rsms, If someone were to make squared shaped punctuation for Inter as stylistic alternates, and they would include it in a pull request, would you include it?
It's happening. Get a test build here and let me know how what you think: https://d.rsms.me/tmp/Inter-4.0-7477b2b85a.zip
How much work did it take for you to make all of this?
I got Covid so it “bought me” three full days, which I rarely get otherwise. First iteration was done at Denver airport where I had a two hour layover:
Yes, it's working fine, thank you. I tried it in LibreOffice (Word is difficult to work with OpenType)
I'm also honored that you haven't forgotten my issue after four years.

This has been a popular feature request voiced my many. Thanks for filing an issue for it back in 2019
