Help Inter police is changing between my computer and my colleague

Hello,

I’m experiencing an issue with InDesign files created by my colleague. Whenever she creates a document using the Inter font and saves it, when I open the file on my computer, all the text that should be Bold, SemiBold, etc., appears in a strange Light version.

I’ve tried:

  • Installing the font locally on my computer

  • Checking if Inter is installed as Adobe Fonts, which it is

  • Mass replacing the font in the document…but it only works for Regular.

  • When I export, I see the wrong font
  • The only current workaround is replacing each instance manually, which is impossible for a catalogue of over 50 pages. When I click on the text, I do see the font is Inter and  it's "bold", though doesn't appear as bold. When I click on "bold" again, then it appears as it should be.

Could you please advise on how to resolve this?

Vérifie que c'est bien la même version de la police qui est installée sur les différentes machines : soit une version installée localement, soit la version activée depuis Adobe Fonts.

You can use the Find Font dialog box to replace fonts globally. Check update styles option if you want to make sure the original font is not used again. 

See if you can select the weight from the font menu rather than the font-style menu:

Hi Melanie,

Could it be a problem with v4 of Inter? What version do you have? Some say v3 is stabler than v4.

Did you know that using variable weight OpenType fonts is risky? You should proceed with caution after much testing.
