Using the Inter font for the system clock makes the system clock move around

Using the Inter font for the KDE system clock makes the clock numbers move around.

Is there a way to make this behavior disappear, like a monospace version? Or make the numbers more mono spaced?

Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.3.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 Kernel Version: 6.9.9-zen1-1-zen (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland

The default figures in Inter are Proportional Lining (not going to change). Tabular Lining (tnum) figures are available as an OpenType feature. Tabular figures all have the same width. See the Inter Features here: https://rsms.me/inter/#features

You can "freeze" the tnum feature into your fonts using tools such as: OpenType Feature Freezer https://twardoch.github.io/fonttools-opentype-feature-freezer/ or FontFreeze https://github.com/MuTsunTsai/fontfreeze

@EyBmr Good news: I fixed this upstream in KDE Plasma, and judging by the milestone they added it to, I expect it'll be released with v6.2.

Very nice. Thank you.

Since KDE Plasma 6.2 is now released, I think this issue can be closed.
