Polytonic Greek #124

Open qoax opened 8 years ago

qoax commented 8 years ago

would be nice. Otherwise, excellent font. If you do this, might I suggest an inverted breve instead of the wavy circumflex? This is simpler and more suitable to this kind of font. (And better accomodates an underlying spiritus.) Also, it seems most monospace fonts with Greek have trouble making the difference between ἄ and ἅ sufficiently clear unless the fontsize is unreasonably large. DejaVu/Menlo is an exception.

Can you tell me what the use case for monospaced polytonic Greek would be? Source Sans has polytonic, but I deliberately left it out of this project as I thought it would be on the margins of usefulness.

The use case might be writing prose in the terminal and using Greek words and phrases on occasion.

Q

PS. Adding these glyphs would probably make your font the only monospace font with Greek in existence whose Greek letters aren't more or less ghastly.

May I say +1 on this. There are actually few good (and complete) monospaced fonts with polytonic greek support and a growing need for them. Scholars working with Latex are another use case.

Would be definitely very nice, J

antanst commented 7 years ago

+1 for this as well.

gusbemacbe commented 7 years ago

+1, because I am Brazilian and ancient and modern Greek languages student and I want to write in Greek in several programming languages.

I work with Ancient Greek in text editors on a daily basis and I have been using Source Code Pro for years. Support for extended Greek would be wonderful.

roberthowton commented 5 years ago

+1!

aurelberra commented 5 years ago

It would be so great to have a first-class code font with real support for polytonic/Ancient Greek. Or has anyone produced one from a fork of Source Code Pro?
