Inter 4.0 not rendering tabulated numbers in Google Sheets

Open interactyugal opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Hey there,

https://github.com/google/fonts/issues/8001#issue-2455535854

I've run into an issue with Inter 4.0 being used in Google Sheets via Google Fonts - https://github-production-user-asset-6210df.s3.amazonaws.com/166996779/356088172-9aae79b5-d3a1-4e37-9ae8-6f882430efbf.png?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAVCODYLSA53PQK4ZA%2F20240808%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20240808T051157Z&X-Amz-Expires=300&X-Amz-Signature=054164461dc829521bd474f89b936c6437e0d4623f18159bf35a2cbdbb5782ea&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&actor_id=166996779&key_id=0&repo_id=101033179

For some reason, it's not showing tabulated numbers properly in Google Sheets - https://github-production-user-asset-6210df.s3.amazonaws.com/166996779/356088271-b753d75e-93b1-44b8-8067-fe453ab0e058.png?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAVCODYLSA53PQK4ZA%2F20240808%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20240808T051232Z&X-Amz-Expires=300&X-Amz-Signature=d75dfc3c9f0283e34e41171b494ade5e7be9e83be63622669dceced25dc2912d&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&actor_id=166996779&key_id=0&repo_id=101033179

How to reproduce -

  1. Open a Google Sheets file -
  2. Set the font to Inter - Inter 4.0
  3. Enter some tabulated numbers.
  4. Check out the weird rendering.

What I expected -

  1. Tabulated numbers should look right - it was working right, until Google Sheets was using Inter 3.19

Would love it if you could take a look and see what's up!

Thanks a ton!

Inter 3 also had proportional figures. So there is no change regarding that in Inter 4.

This is most likely a Google Docs issue, not an Inter font issue. Google Docs uses the Google Fonts web fonts, which are created by them. Google Fonts web fonts do not include the Tabular Figures (tnum) OpenType feature. So I do not know where your documents would get tabular figures - except if they were actually using a different font.

I am curious to see what you are seeing, but I cannot see those docs. Please post screenshots.

Note: you should probably close this issue (as it is not an Inter font issue) and continue the discussion in the GF issue.
