Hi,

I cannot use this font in xterm or emacs anymore.
Looks like the new versions of the fonts are not really fixed.

Which is confirmed by this message on the home page:

Updated April 2020: Family has been upgraded to a variable font
family.

This github issue does pretty much explain what's going on:
https://github.com/googlefonts/Inconsolata/issues/42 :

Xft is not able to deal with so-called monospace fonts which include
wider glyphs, and there is no simple way to fix that.

The emacs-gtk3 port could be told use the cairo bindings as it's
already a dependency for gtk3, but for xterm it's not an option.

For now I'll install the old version of inconsolata for myself.
