-Inter font files comes in two versions: without TrueType hints
-and "hinted"; with TrueType hints. This directory contains font files with
-TrueType hints for use with ClearType and other compatible shapers.
-
-Hinted fonts looks different than unhinted fonts, especially at small sizes.
-Before deciding to use these hinted fonts, consider the differences in
-appearance compared to the regular fonts — you may prefer unhinted fonts for
-some uses.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-What are hints?
-
-
-The TrueType hints are used by ClearType on Windows machines where ClearType
-is enabled. This usually changes the appearance of the fonts and can in some
-cases increase the legibility of text.
-
-Additionally, hints are little computer programs that takes up considerable
-disk space, meaning that font files with hints are larger than those without
-hints. This might be a consideration when using web fonts.
-
-The hints for Inter are automatically generated by a program called autohint.
