suggestion to add an alternative `l` #159

Open disconsis opened 8 months ago

disconsis commented 8 months ago

Hey, thank you so much for your work on this! It looks amazing.

This is more of a pet peeve than anything else, but I would love for there to be an alternative l similar to the original i (currently it's more similar to the alternative i)

This is somewhat what I was thinking:

I did this in paint by pasting the bottom of the original i on the l (I'm bad at font stuff 😢)

subframe7536 commented 8 months ago

Sure, I will add it. But it might be implemented in another stylesets

disconsis commented 8 months ago

Thank you!

subframe7536 commented 7 months ago

in V7 alpha recording

disconsis commented 7 months ago

Thank you so much for your work!

disconsis commented 7 months ago

Could you give some hints on which branch/tag to use and features to enable to try this?

subframe7536 commented 7 months ago

cv03，as shown at the right part of gif

only available in v7, which have no stable release

disconsis commented 7 months ago

Ah okay. I'm not very familiar with font tools, so I think I'll just wait for the stable release :)

subframe7536 commented 6 months ago

temporary reopen it, close after V7 stable release

Could you please make another version that removes the top of the letter L like in this image? Thank you for your hard work!

subframe7536 commented 6 months ago

I think this style is more suitable for sans instead of monospace.

Could you please provide some code example image includes this style of l?

3T1C commented 6 months ago

I agree that this style is more suitable for sans rather than monospace. I've only found the 'l' shape that I like in fonts like Monoid or Terminal One. It's just a personal preference, but if it's possible to create a version with the top of the 'l' removed, that would be great. If not, that's okay too. Thanks again for creating such an amazing font.

subframe7536 commented 6 months ago

Thanks for your love. However, after careful consideration, I have decided not to implement this feature. I recommend to check out Iosevka as alternative.

subframe7536 commented 4 months ago

@disconsis do you find that 1 is similar to l when enable cv04? I am considering to remove the bottom bar of 1 as well in cv04. Any thought or suggestion is appreciated.

disconsis commented 4 months ago

I think that makes a lot of sense. It is quite similar otherwise.
