Italic variant #134

Closed danielmunoz closed 8 years ago

danielmunoz commented 8 years ago

Is there hope to see a italic variant in the future? Code editors would benefit from this.

Greetings!

tonsky commented 8 years ago

I can’t draw italics for the whole font — I’m not a font designer. Follow Mozilla’s Fira repo if they decide to implement that

Here's the issue to follow if you are interested in this: https://github.com/mozilla/Fira/issues/38

Just in case someone hasn’t seen this yet, there is a Fira fork with italics for Mono: mozilla/Fira#38 (comment)

dhouck commented 7 years ago

That appears to be a dead link.

This one should work: https://github.com/mozilla/Fira/issues/38#issuecomment-136099951

UnaiM commented 7 years ago

Thanks for noticing. I fixed it :)

Perhaps we could rebase off of this fork , rather than Mozilla's fork? Then we would have italics.. https://github.com/Avi-D-coder/fira-mono-italic As suggested on that above linked Mozilla issue.

AdamBD commented 3 years ago

is the PR from Losangelosgenetics repo going to be merged?

tonsky commented 3 years ago

Which PR?

davidvmckay commented 3 years ago

Upstream Fira appears to be dead; It is based on work by Carrois, which no longer lists Fira as a project. No commits have been made to mozilla/fira since mid 2019.

We should consider creating our own fork of Fira for the FiraCode community, or inlining the relevant sources and severing the upstream dependency.

Personally, I'd recommend inlining to this repo, to reduce the friction to arbitrary future extensions or modifications to FiraCode (variable OTF support for example.)

tonsky commented 3 years ago

Not sure what do you mean by inlining, but there's no live dependency between this repo and any of the Fira ones. I used their sources when I started but they have diverged massively since then

ron-wolf commented 2 years ago

Does the fork+rebase @EvanCarroll linked to contain italicized ligatures, or just slanted ligatures? I plan on checking myself, just busy with work rn.

ShadiestGoat commented 1 year ago

As a recap, why can't we use the fork?
