Alternative glyph for letter i #582

Open astrolemonade opened 1 year ago

Hey! I saw that there are curly alternative glyphs for letters l, j, t: I think only the lowercase variant of the glyph would need an alternate variant since most of the uppercase I I saw look almost identical.

image It would be nice to have such alternative glyph for letter i too:

Hack style: image

Source Code Pro Style: image

Ubuntu Mono Style: image

Or/And one that is matching the current alternative glyphs for l, j and t.

I think it would be a nice addition for the people that come from those fonts.

Hi @cmarincia Thanks for the suggestion. I will think about it.

I think the letter i is not very readable when using small sizes. image

I love JetBrains Mono. The only thing missing and keeping it from being the perfect font is a set of alternate glyphs for the letter i.
