Project History

This repository is forked from Ligaturizer@daa4dc8b on 26 Jan 2020.

At that moment, Ligaturizer was not able to build latest Hack 3.003 font. I submitted a pull request to fix that issue.

However,

Too many fonts =>
- Too difficult for me to manually check all the output fonts' correctness.
- Too difficult to generalize automatic release phases
No container for development

Go to release

Window 10 installation

You have to right click the fonts and choose 'install font for all users'. Otherwise, some IDEs can not be correctly listed the font.

Upgrade font version

To upgrade 'Hack Ligatured' version, you are recommended to completely remove 'Hack Ligatured' and install it again. Some OS would cache the font until restart.

If you care about font, you may also care about the color of syntax highlighting. I would recommend you can take a look on my other side project Productivity-oriented color scheme - GapStyle
