  1. I learned how to make variable fonts, and updated my CPC 464 font to support it. You can chose form Modes 0, 1 or 2, or anything in between. 😁

  2. I updated my CPC464 font to version 2.0!
    codeberg.org/Dmian/font-cpc464
    This versions has a different license (SIL Open Font License, but the previous versions are still included with their original licenses), adds two new widths (Expanded, called "Mode 0" and Condensed or "Mode 2", that are added to the Regular "Mode 1") and a UFO source is included.
    Hope you enjoy it! ☺️

  3. 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?

  4. #Font #RetroFont If you're sick of fonts being slow, not there, bloated slow pieces of crap. Make your own anysized 0 overhead ASCII 33-126 or whatever, I did this in 6K of text functions, no font tables. scribbled directly low level when needed. All my pinned apps use this. I am going to write an app to make editing easier, it'll look like the paint program a bit. You can do it yourself now tho, the way I did. bitbucket.org/timcdoc/antibrow
