Is someone doing this issue ? Is it hard to do ?
There is a part of contributing.md that says how to do it: https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/blob/master/contributing.md#steps-for-adding-a-new-font-or-removing-an-existing-font
@kraklin I made a PR
PR: #1405
Monaspace
is a RFN.
The PR is filled in with false
. Which is easy to correct, but
As Monaspace
is already a funny version of Monospace
this is not so easy maybe.
Any ideas anyone?

I like MoonSpace
Monabase or Monasbase
Given how "Mononoki" (another RFN font with a similar license) is handled, can we not do the same here and use "Monaspace Nerd Font"?

Well, Nerd Fonts got an exemption from Mononoki's RFN license clause [1]. To keep the name we would need that also from Githubnext. I know the pain but license conditions are license conditions unfortunately.

Oh, 100% -- I don't know enough to know what the right thing to do is. :)
In that case, should we @-mention one of the people on Githubnext's end to see if this is something that they'd grant an exception for?
Dear @idan!
There is a overwhelming demand for your great new font Monaspace
.
We here at Nerd Fonts take terminal fonts and add some useful-for-developer glyphs (icons) to it for a better developer experience. Command line tools like exa
show on directory listings the icon for the file type for example.
We do not touch the existing glyphs (except is some rare cases we drop one-cell-wide fi
ligatures etc), but only add glyphs in the PUA codepoint blocks.
Because Monaspace
has the RFN in place we will of course rename the fonts after extending, for example Monaspace Xenon
might become MonispaceXe Nerd Font
. Of course it would be nicer if we would get the permission to republish the changed font with a changed name but with the RFN'ed parts still intact, like MonaspaceXenon Nerd Font
or in places where that is too long MonaspaceXenon NF
. Never will a modified font be published under the original name, we always append Nerd Font
or NF
(and remove the blank).
Maybe you and your team can consider this RFN exception with the additional condition that we will always add our name to the font names to make the distinction clear for users.
Any answer (negative or positive) is appreciated.
Thank you!
Fini
This is how the naming would come out, also note some warnings.

Edit: Add information on ID16 change
I am super hyped for this and of course everyone immediately wanted nerdfont and powerline.
Recovering today from the launch, I will be back to figure this out next week!
Maybe some of you want to try the patched font out, and report bugs. So we can fix the issues before release?

P.S.: The archive is tar.xz
for good compression and gz
because Github does not support xz

@Finii is Krypton version included?
is Krypton version included?
No, as the name states that is Neon only. I thought one variant would be enough for tests? Is Krypton better?
it looks great on Alacritty macOS
but fonts name appear like this on Font book app, I'm not sure if this is an issue:
You mean Monispace instead of Monaspace, or Ne
instead of Neon
?
That is required until (if ever) we got the license issue (RFN) addressed.
Or NF
instead of Nerd Font
?
Or
NF
instead ofNerd Font
?
this
Quite a lot of the fonts have NF
(and NFM
/ NFP
) in their name instead of the full length Nerd Font Propo
etc.
The reason is that these fonts already have longish names and/or styles, and there is a (ridiculously short) length limit on font names. Although most software can work with longer names there is software out there that would not work with fonts with 'too long names'.
I guess that is not an for Neon, but Krypton will have small issues:

Fonts with some abbreviation mode active, Nerd Font becomes NF when the value is >= 4:

But you are right, maybe better just use mode 2
that shortens the styles moderately, as that seems enough:

I will check that out, thanks for bringing it up! :-)
Edit:
Ah no, ... you see... looks bad.
And I believe it does not make sense to change NF <-> Nerd Font
only for some Nerd Font variants, so one needs to look on Nerd Font Propo
always, which is quite a mouthful.

@Finii Are the variable fonts also supported? Or only the static ones?
@jla2000 Nerd Font uses Fontforge which can not (really) work with variable fonts (VF). There is a loose plan to allow VF in the future but for this Fontforge needs to be exchanged to fonttools, and that is kind of a rewrite at least in some parts (i.e. will not come soon, unfortunately). (Can not find the relevant thread at the moment.)
Edit:
I believe it came up with Cascadia Code
which is manually hinted in the VF. The static versions were once but are no more manually hinted and the ttfautohint results differ considerably from the manual hints. So people complain that the static Nerd Fonts version looks different to the default installed VF version :grimacing:
Font looks nice btw in Windows Terminal 💯
@Finii the font does not support full Vietnamese character set like the original font
@ntcong Ugg!?!! I will check, thanks for reporting. Can you give me some copy and paste text that should work?
Here a few word and a (should be) complete set of character

Update from our end: alas, like other commercial fonts, we have to get Legal involved because Nerdfont has lots of logos of businesses. I have a hard time forecasting how long this is going to take.
But the good news is that there might be some work already happening for Cascadia Code (also MSFT) which we might be able to follow in the footsteps of. Stay tuned, just wanted to let you know that we're trying to figure this out!
In the meanwhile, I understand that folks are going to produce patched versions. I hope one day to make the patched versions obsolete! Stay tuned.
@idan Thanks for the feedback! Yes I also had discussions about this with Aaron already ;-)
I think for the time being we need to do a rename. Do you have any preference as name?
You find some suggestions above. I choose Monispace
for the working drafts as that changes just one character and sounds similarish.
The noble gasses are substituted by their usual abbreviations, I guess that is the best solution.
Nonaspace
Nanospace
Momaspace
Moonspace
Monaspice
Polyspace
LisaSpace
ManoSpace
Monabase
Monasbase
Monaspaced
Leospace
Microspace
Monamono

I asked around and most people found Monaspice the nicest and best pun. Adapting the PR.
Big thanks to all who suggested names: @cyklee @kraklin @loraderon @redactedscribe
:green_heart:
@Finii Sorry, I know that this is closed, but just a heads up: The link to Monaspice from the main page is broken. It directs to the following url, which gives a 404.: https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/blob/master/patched-font/Monaspace
@firasrb I think it will be in next release (3.1.0)
It will And release is within minutes, just preparing Brew now

Am I doing something wrong? Here's my terminal.integrated.fontFamily
(vscode) and the results:
FiraCode NFM Retina
MonaspiceNe NFM
Is it just me or does Monaspice look like it's always emboldened?
(Monaspice on the left with FiraCode for comparison):
I downloaded Monaspice via the scoop-nerd-fonts Scoop bucket. Haven't used the official non-patched Monaspace so I can't say if this is expected.
The Monaspice font used is MonaspiceNe NFM
.
Please, create a regular issue if you have an issue. Transferred the two above to separate issues. Locking this thread, sorry.

Version 1.0.0 just released.
It has an interesting idea to change the cell size visibly to make more room (if possible) for wide letters like
m
if they are next to small letters likei
while keeping the cell grit intact.
