Describe the bug

In Cyrillic, the lowercase letter T is lower than the others. This can be seen, for example, in the Scrivener program, and it can be seen in Notepad when selecting a font in the settings, although there are no problems with the letter T in the text in Notepad.
There are no problems with the capital letter T.

Just wanted to report that also. Not only the letter "т" is lower than the others, the letter "м" also is. These two should be fixed. The issue affects both Inter and Inter Display.

To see the issue yourself, you can go to fontdrop.info, upload InterDisplay-Regular.ttf or Inter-Regular.ttf > click "Waterfall", paste "пмпт" there, and see that on some sizes, "мт" are lower than the normal "п".

This is unfortunately a Microsoft Windows specific issue and caused by Microsoft ClearType changing the paths of those glyphs. It happens because you are using font files with auto-generated TTF hints.

Here's what it actually looks like:

What I can do about this

Option 1: Manually make TTF hints, which is a very time consuming task and is unlikely that I will ever do.

Option 2: Try to make ttfautohint behave better. ...but I don't know how to — would be open to contributions here.

What you can do about this

Option 1: Tune your ClearType settings to be less aggressive

Option 2: Use font files without TTF hints
