  1. Spent a portion of my evening redesigning my site in affinity. Now, how to translate this to css and nunjucks?

  3. my brain is so funny, every 12-24 hours i get tired of the same font on my sourcecode editor, so i've taken to rotating amongst 4 or 5 different monospaced fonts every 12-24 hours or so... right now my list is (in no particular order)

    - consolas
    - noto mono
    - courier new
    - deja vu sans mono
    - ubuntu mono

    are there any other good ones i should try? :)

  7. 🚀✨ Ah, the #nostalgia of ancient #coding relics and #monospaced #fonts that scream "I'm stuck in 1995!" 🤖💾 But don't worry, GitHub's magical #AI #copilot will help you write "better" code while you reminisce about the days of dial-up internet and #Geocities websites. 🙃⌨️

  9. Immer wieder erstaunlich, wie viel Herzblut Schriftdesigner wie #FabrizioSchiavi in winzige Details eines Fonts stecken. Schön zu sehen, dass es nach Jahren mal wieder ein Update gibt. Ich bereue keinen Cent, obwohl es vermutlich eine der unnötigsten Investitionen meines Lebens war. Tja, was dem einen die mechanisch ausgetüftelte Luxusuhr, ist dem Nerd sein akribisch austarierter Luxus-Coding-Font. 😉 #CodingFont #Monospaced #CondensedFTW

  11. The GitHub Monaspace fonts, release v1.2 is a 948 MB download. That has to be the most massive font release I’ve ever seen. Are all Noto fonts together even as large as that?

  13. @Typy
    I used to know a #poet who published word art. It wasn't concrete because he never printed it out, but he planned to before Thanatos caught up with him.

    Here's an example:
    bokbox.org/e8.html

    It's a huge poem, unfinished, with audio recordings for some of the stanzas. As you can see, it's #monospaced like your work.

  14. Drop #525 (2024-09-03): Typography Tuesday

    In today's typography-centric edition of the Drop, get ready to upgrade your terminal and editor game with two free monospace fonts: Departure Mono, inspired by early CLIs & GUIs, and Karsa Mono, designed with a retro digital feel. Plus, dive into the quirky world of font sizes and line heights with "Font Size Is Useless". #typography #fonts #monospaced

  15. I created a warning/attention sign ASCII art that I didn't end up using. If anyone needs one feel free. It's under CC0. (Because someone probably created a similar one before anyways)

    #ascii #asciiart #monospaced

  16. @root interesting...

    Personally I'd hope this is a complete rework and not "derivative" for copyright reasons...

    Also anyone planning a version of #OpenDyslexic that is #monospaced?

    Cuz I do use #LEXEND or #B612 instead of it...

    github.com/KBtechnologies/font

  17. i remember seeing a page for a #monospaced #font designed specifically for displaying #asciiart, but i can't find it now :-(

    its goal was to be compatible with many different types of ascii art, like it had long slashes and backslashes for amiga, the entire set of unicode legacy computing characters, etc.

    UPDATE: found it! it's called "unscii". viznut.fi/unscii/

  18. @dyani I think it's less a matter of caps or not - people like @fuchsiii would say that abolishing caps would increase readability - but IMHO a matter of #font / #typeface.

    #OpenDyslexic and some other fonts really make it easier to identify letters and help people read.

    Personally I prefer #monospaced fonts and I could accept either #AllCaps or regular typing as long as it's consistenty used.

  19. @mos_8502 Personally, I'd use only Ubuntu Mono or similar but neurotypicals will go apeshit on #monospaced fonts so I think #OpenDyslexic and other #accessibility-optimized fonts would be great...

    Also one would likely need a font with all the #unicode characters in cuz otherwise CJKTI* - languaged people will rage about this decision when there's no legitimate reason for it.
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CJK_char

    And lastly if one adds in @libreoffice one has a pretty substantial collection of fonts.

  20. @necrosis @_rya_ @radikales_gemuese das ist ein absurdes argument, weil * wie : ein Zeichen ist und #Screenreader als auch meine Geräte grundsätzlich #monospaced Text ausspucken...

    Vorlesefunktionen behandeln beide gleich...

  21. Input Mono and Berkeley Mono are duking it out for best mono.

    (Worst mono is what I had in 2006 and I just slept for days.)

  22. @malanalysis FYI: the reason for the two spaces was because #typewriters are #monospaced, two spaces broke up the sentences visually for easier reading. Since that limitation is no longer the case, and periods, commas(punctuation) are kerned left, only 1 space is needed. So 1 space on computers, 2 on typewriters is the correct way to do it. (look at every period/comma here.)

  24. @gnome
    Speaking of #fonts it would be fantastic to show and search installed font by categories: #serif, #sansserif , #script, #monospaced, #calligraphic and so on, the way sites like 1001fonts.com do

  25. i think i'm now starting to fall for this one #monospaced #font: github.com/jenskutilek/sudo-fo

    recommend it.
    also changed system things to #cantarell. cantarell might be the only sans-serif font i find pleasant.
