  1. After reading this Lettermatic blog post, lettermatic.com/custom/monaspa, on #Monaspace I now want to be able to use different fonts for code elements in #IntelliJ. I use Argon as my code font but would love if comments were in Radon and I might even go wild and use Krypton for keywords.

  2. The question I have for monaspace.githubnext.com is: Was this developed and tested with Asian scripts in mind as well, or just Latin-based? 😉

  4. One of my favorite coding fonts, Monaspace, has a new version which includes NerdFonts, so I only need one font for my terminal and it has everything I use for my Starship prompt.

  5. I don't quite get #Monaspace #font. How do you enable all these features? How would my IDE know what variant to pick for example? And how do you enable texture healing? This surely can't just be part of the font, can it?

  6. Ok, the are WIIIILD, particularly the cursive one (Radon).
    You really need good eyesight for that one, though!

  7. Hey, #font community,
    quick question: can I somehow make monaspace letters not jump when moving a cursor through the text? I get that it is necessarily happening while typing, but, pleease, not when just reading.

  8. Latest update adds ligatures to the beautiful fonts. 🤩

  9. Wochenrückblick, Ausgabe 23 (2024-02).

    Diesmal mit meinem Kandidaten für das nützlichste Teil, welches jemals aus einem 3D-Drucker gefallen ist, einer neuen Familie von schicken Monospace-Schriftarten, einem ChatGPT, welches lokal auf dem eigenen Rechner läuft, tiefen Temperaturen und wofür man die nutzen sollte (und wie sich die Wärmepumpe geschlagen hat), einem Liebesbrief ans das CSV-Dateiformat, „Tombstones“ und das Finden von nicht mehr genutzten Codestellen, einer Liste von ANSI Escape-Codes, einer neuen Serie bei Netflix und wie immer Techno.

  10. CW: fonts, monospace, monaspace

    A new set of monospace fonts designed for programmers.

    (Although could be used by non-programmers, of course.)

    Monaspace

    monaspace.githubnext.com/

    github.com/githubnext/monaspac

    ...

    (The name of this set of fonts is "monAspace". I.e., "monospace" with the 2nd "o" replaced by an "a".)

    #font #fonts #monospace #monaspace

  11. Tried out that #Monaspace font pack that people were buzzing about on here, and it's a hilarious disaster on #Microsoft #Windows 11, which is deeply ironic due to the fact that it was produced by Microsoft #GitHub employees.

    We're talking basic stuff here, like being marked as variable width instead of monospace, text showing up in italic by default, etc.

  12. It's just dawning on me that #Monaspace isn't actually saying this font feature is available in #VSCode; it's playing "Tomorrowland World's Fair" over here in the middle of a product launch.

  13. @rhys There are some interesting options with a set of five font families with exactly the same font metrics - could have all code strings using say Radon and the bulk of the code using Krypton with the comments using Neon. I already have multiple fonts in Emacs for some (especially Org mode) but I have not pushed that for programming ... yet. #emacs #monaspace

  14. @Janne This is the number 1 question I had when I found the githubnext #monaspace pages. Fira Code and all its friends with ligatures ....

    Still looking for an answer :-)

  15. New #coding #font just dropped! Given I consider myself an aspiring #typography geek, I embarrassingly had not heard of this #ligature-based trick to make a #fixedWidth font still give more space to some glyphs vs. others. Eager to see how that affects legibility. Going to give it a whirl. #monospace #monaspace #github monaspace.githubnext.com

  20. Great, now I want a #PixelPerfect #font (currently using #Spleen 6x12) with #CodeLigatures and #TextureHealing. The latter is an excellent feature; I hope many fonts adopt it.

    btw. I don’t get all those fancy code fonts with all those nice details in the letters. Who has monitors that don’t make that look all smushy on reasonable font sizes?

  25. Monaspace ist eine relativ neue Schriftart, die unter der Open Font License veröffentlicht wurde. Monospace-Fonts sind besonders für Programmierer geeignet, da sie eine feste Zeichenbreite haben.

    Die Besonderheit von #Monaspace ist, dass die Abstände zwischen den Buchstaben durch ein Verfahren namens „texture healing“ optimiert werden, ohne das #Monospace-Raster zu verlassen. Dieses Verfahren wird auf der Webseite des Projekts anschaulich dargestellt.

  26. I'm looking forward to exploring for half a day, followed by returning to Source Code Pro like I do every. single. time.

  27. Oh I'm enjoying the new Monaspace Krypton font
    It pairs well with F#
    😎

    #fsharp #githubnext #monaspace

  28. Any Sublime Text users trying out #Monaspace? I've got

    "font_face": "Monaspace Neon",
    "font_options": ["dlig","ss01","ss02","ss03","ss04","ss05","ss06","ss07","ss08"],
    "line_padding_top": 1,

    ... in my settings which, as far as I can understand calt being default, should've given me all the bells and whistles. Not seeing the texture healing though, I think.

    (Line padding? Yes line padding. No space between lines when just switching to the Monaspace font otherwise)

  29. GitHub's new Monaspace font pack is interesting.

    Excluding the ligatures (which I always loathe) every one of the styles has lots of elements I like and lots I don't. I'm going to give Neon a whirl for a while to see how I like it, but I'm not convinced yet.
