Monospaced version [feature request] #6

Hi, I love your font!

I saw you on hackernews today and I've noticed a number of comments there and around the web looking for a monospaced version of your font. Notably, someone offering to pay for the privilege. I thought I would open an issue to gauge your interest, and let others chime in.

It's on hacker news? Sweet!

I'm a programmer and I've been itching for a monospace version myself! :) Its been a long few months, and I spent all my time pushing for completing the variable width ones.

Perhaps I should put up a chip-in or something, and then I could take some time off and have that done.

I 2nd a Monospaced version. I have a bookmarklet I use that replaces websites fonts with Gill and now this. I would love to use this in my day to day coding. Then maybe I can code in something less then 14pt font for it all not to run together.

antijingoist commented 11 years ago

Lots of requests for this in the past day. :D

I added a donate button to dyslexicfonts.com and will start working on the monospace soon. Glad theres alot of demand for it. :)

I'd love to try a monospaced version. Putting some money down on it.

antijingoist commented 11 years ago

Thanks! It's definitely on the todo list for before the end of the year. :)

Looking forward to try coding with it.

psy0rz commented 11 years ago

i would love to try it as well, to see use in my own terminals. i'm curious if it helps to work faster or more relaxed.

furthermore i have a student that is dyslectic and works in terminals a lot. :)

antijingoist commented 11 years ago

This is next on my list before I add more international characters FWIW. :)

rolfb commented 11 years ago

Really excited to try this for coding. :)

fungi commented 11 years ago

Agreed. Being dyslexic myself I tried the current variable face with my xterms just now in hopes of improving my comprehension/speed, but glyphs which should have rendered single-width were unfortunately all occupying double-width cells.

antijingoist commented 11 years ago

Okay guys, I'm closing this one. Hang on for a few hours and you'll see why. ;)
