@jilen Thank you! Mind tracking down licensing information for this font? We will need to know whether we can redistribute it here.

jilen commented 8 years ago

http://an.erki.net/%7Eb/agave/license I cannot open the license page... But it seems to be something forked from MIT license. So I think it's OK to include it here.

There's an old link I found from arch community https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=160106. The author states free to use/scrutinise/modify/whatever (mit license)

chrissimpkins commented 8 years ago

@jilen great! We will add it. Thanks for doing the legwork.

chrissimpkins commented 8 years ago

It seems that there is only a regular font. Are you aware of an oblique or bold variant?

jilen commented 8 years ago

@chrissimpkins There are only regluar font currently

chrissimpkins commented 8 years ago

Let's put this on hold and see if the developer moves forward with those sets. Many syntax highlighters use oblique and bold as part of their highlighting schemes. Will you update when/if you see these become available?

jilen commented 8 years ago

@chrissimpkins Ok, I will keep track of it. Actually I have made an oblique font myself by apply skew with fontforge. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5wJ0iamqkclVXlZUUxzODVBNWM/view?usp=sharing

I'm personally am OK with just regular versions; only use italics for comments, & seems most highlighting themes in Atom use colors & not bold.

Could be uploaded & flagged (or have missing flags or strike-though --bold-- --oblique--).

@jilen I am updating the entire repository as I generate new images with our new scripted image approach. It seems many more of the fonts have one or two variants than I recalled. I will include Agave once our scripted approach is in place. Let's see if the images render with the single regular variant.

chrissimpkins commented 8 years ago

Agave is now available in the main gallery. Thanks for the suggestion!

Boy am I late to the show -- I don't know why I didn't see this issue sooner.

This is so flattering. I really appreciate @jilen for opening this issue and @chrissimpkins for including my work.

Unfortunately, I don't have immediate plans to work on variants, but I'd be happy to consider any direct suggestions for improvement or change. I also haven't really been keeping tabs on how Agave fares with linux rendering of the past few years (I actually only use Source Code Pro nowadays, heh).

But to be honest, looking at the font again (and awesome screenshot at the top, by the way!), if I do re-enter type design, I think I would lean towards a different, new kind of style.

Thanks again!

@agarick 👍 let us know if you make changes and we will get the fonts here updated!
