Consider reverting to old variant of U+0031 (digit 1) #514

Closed ianyepan closed 3 years ago

ianyepan commented 4 years ago

I believe I'm not the only one who prefers the original version of U+0031 (digit 1) with a less angled top stroke, which was replaced by the current steep angle in version 3.001. I've therefore been using version 3.000 but I'd love to see alt-hack provide this config option so I can enjoy other updates of latest versions, while still keeping my digit 1 with a flat angled top stroke.

Old digit 1 (my preferred style)

New digit 1 after v3.001 (steeper angle: more legible, but less aesthetically pleasing IMHO)

Edit: Even the official website still uses the original digit 1 style https://sourcefoundry.org/hack/

I find the steep angle works well when using the noslab alt-hack glyph, but I agree that with the slab, the old version is preferable.

Friendly ping.

Never mind, I'm convinced this is a personal preference issue. I'll just stick to v3.000 for now.
