tomakado commented 8 months ago

Hey,

I really love Martin Mono. Only feature is missing for me is ligatures support. Is there still any plans to add them? Let me know if I can help with it in any way.

@tomakado thank you for your interest!

You can download the intermediate (1.1 Alpha) release here: https://twitter.com/romanshamin_en/status/1769706111647564184

This release, among other things, introduces support for some programming ligatures.

@romashamin, thank you for sharing. It looks great. When will this be released?

I would humbly request pipeline ligature |> coz it is very important for languages like OCaml, Gleam, Elixir and F#, JS (if they merge that rc for pipes). 🙏🏻

@JohnBakhmat thanks! Pipe operators are complete. I’m now finishing up other ligatures for F# and FParsec.

@remy727 thanks for your interest!

It’s hard to predict, but I’m aiming to release version 1.1 by the end of the summer. In the worst-case scenario, it’ll be by the end of this year.

Just a friendly reminder: if you all are on X, follow me to track progress and provide feedback: https://x.com/romanshamin_en

I post work-in-progress updates on Martian Mono nearly every week.

@romashamin Would it be possible to post the code/files for your updated versions of Martin Mono in a new branch/your fork of this repo? That way we could get the latest version of Martian Mono without having to ask you. Amazing work! I've only seen few a typeface designer this enthused about their work publicly. Great stuff :)
