JetBrains vs custom font issue

I usally use a retro font called "MxPlusIBMVGA9x16". Childhood nostalgy. I can use it anywhere but in JetBrains terminals. It is not listed as monospace font in the reworked terminal's menu. It is listed as monospace editor font though. 🤷

I dissected the font with FontForge and with Python's fonttools lib too. Panose table, isFixedPitch are in order. What should I look for to fix?

My new #terminal / #monospace #font:

"Atkinson Hyperlegible Mono" from the #Braille Institute

It looks nice and the name is really no exaggeration!

Maple 7 is out and damn is it a gorgeous, open-source, variable weight monospace font with superb italics, ligatures, nerd font symbols and Chinese support and a ton of options.

I'm not sure it's going to replace my beloved MonoLisa as my primary monospace font but I’m going to give it a shot.

I really like the small gaps option.

Turns out JetBrains made it free and open source, so download and use!

I haven't used VSCode (is that what you're using?) so I don't know how you configure the font in it, but surely there's a way.

I'm really struggling to find a certain #monospace #font. I have seen it somewhere online. The special feature was the number characters, which were designed to visually represent the character's value by the area the ink covers of the rectangle around the character. E.g. "1" was very thin, covering 10% of the background, "4" covered 40%, "9" was reaaly bold and covered 90% of the background, and so on.

Does anyone know of this font? I saw it posted in the context of #dataviz #heatmaps #rstats

I'm going to give this JetBrains Mono font a try for my code and commanline for a bit. Looks pretty decent. https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/mono/

Dear #font designers,

A #monospace lowercase 'L' does *not* looks like this:
__
. . |
. . |
__ | __

It looks like this:
__
. . |
. . |
. . | __

Please take heed and stop making 'L's look like ones. Thankyou.

Weirdly specific rant, complete.

TLDR; "I could be super-happy with any of Fira Code Retina, Hack, JetBrains Mono, or Inconsolata."
