Monospaced Variant #10

Open svictoreq opened 6 years ago

svictoreq commented 6 years ago

The font is beautiful. I really like the work you've done. So, I think it really would be nice to have a monospaced variant for programmers.

aolko commented 6 years ago

pardon, why? You think that your code should be funny?

svictoreq commented 6 years ago

Yeah, I actually like the font. I tried it in my editor, but since it's not monospaced, the code loses readability.

kilobyte commented 6 years ago

Converting a proportional font into monospaced is non-trivial amount of work. Try for example placing "lllllll" or "iiiiiii" at equally spaced positions, then do the same for "mmmmm". It'd take redesigning quite a few letters to produce a reasonable result.

thymaro commented 6 years ago

on another note, the font is not hinted and probably won't look extremely readable in a programming environment, at least not as good as on paper. I mean it wouldn't be beneficial for the eyes. Consider using a manually hinted teletype font for your programming ;)

There's shannpersand/comic-shanns and it looks great as is, so I believe Comic Neue would look great as well.

thymaro commented 5 years ago

Even in coding, I still need UTF-8 and many characters outside of what's offered in Comic Shanns:

What's in it?

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

1234567890

~!@#$%^&*()-—+=;:"'<>,.?/\|[]{}?

Coding in Comic would be a funny, albeit not a fun thing to do, so I will go with practicality over funniness. That's more fun.

I want use this font in a boxes input so a monospace version would be great EDIT: I see that if I open the UFO file with FontForge, i set the same width to all character and center them... so I made my personal monospace version... Many thanks for include the ufo files
