@TiLopes Thank you for using 0xProto!

Yes, as of now, 0xProto doesn't include glyphs for accented letters. So, it's not a bug but rather a design choice.

While I'm not opposed to supporting accented letters, it's a lower priority for the following reasons:

FYI, I started an Issue with Nerd Fonts to include 0xProto.

A couple of points to consider here:

matype commented 1 year ago

Yeah, that's true, but that does not make accented letters a higher priority. I believe the script font family has a higher priority.

I am not saying that accented letters will not be supported. So I am leaving this issue open as well. It is just a matter of priority.

I've decided to elevate the priority of this issue.

I've come to realize that programmers whose native language is a non-English Latin-based one (e.g., French, Spanish, etc.) incorporate their language into their source code more frequently than I initially thought. My misjudgment stemmed from the fact that, being a native Japanese speaker, we rarely use Japanese in source code, except in comments.

@TiLopes @ktekinay Hi there, I've just released v1.400 to support accented letters. Now, 0xProto supports 210 languages! (according to Hyperglot)
