Change default editor font to Inter #9012

I tend to agree that Inter is more readable than Noto Sans, but remember that it also visually looks a bit larger, which helps it be more readable. Considering there's a regular demand for smaller editor fonts by default, I'm not sure if going in that direction would be a good thing unless we also reduce the default font size. Can you take screenshots of the editor with the font size set to 12 and 13? Also, one thing Noto has over Inter is visual consistency across languages. Noto has a huge selection of fonts to choose from (one of the largest in open source fonts). Inter looks nicer, but the second you have CJK or Arabic characters on screen, they'll look different than the rest of the editor.
Note that regarding this, we could choose to use the code font (which is fixed-width) for numeric fields in the inspector. |

Currently the editor uses Noto Sans as the default font.
I'm here to propose to move to Inter, a modern, open source font designed for interfaces.
I may be biased, but I think it looks nicer and more readable than Noto.
This is inspired by Soundcloud and Blender relatively recently using to Inter, so i used the OpenType features that mirror the latter.

tnum - Evenly spaced numbers, makes the interface less "jumpy".
