#CodingFont

2025-04-10

Immer wieder erstaunlich, wie viel Herzblut Schriftdesigner wie #FabrizioSchiavi in winzige Details eines Fonts stecken. Schön zu sehen, dass es nach Jahren mal wieder ein Update gibt. Ich bereue keinen Cent, obwohl es vermutlich eine der unnötigsten Investitionen meines Lebens war. Tja, was dem einen die mechanisch ausgetüftelte Luxusuhr, ist dem Nerd sein akribisch austarierter Luxus-Coding-Font. 😉 #CodingFont #Monospaced #CondensedFTW

Apparently emoji are from 1988, not 1997 or 1999. Oh and even better, UnifontEX's emoji are the same 16x16 resolution as the original 1988 emoji set. You can get UnifontEX at
http://stgiga.github.io/UnifontEX

And yes, this means that my hypothetical UnifontEX video chip would have been mostly period-correct.

Apparently, someone crammed 69666 characters of Unifont 13.0.06 into BDF for u8g2
#font generation, so BDF evidently doesn't have that limit either, and upstream Unifont doesn't do this. Also, because of FontForge limits crashing when importing a lot of glyphs, evidently the BDF is custom on the u8g2 Github, but the problem is that it hasn't been updated to Unifont 15, so while Plane 1 is reduced two versions, Plane 0 is upgraded two versions, without going over 65535, ensuring better BDF compatibility, especially when doing low-level stuff (evidently not needed here). Then again, Minecraft uses .hex files in 1.20 to get around non-HarfBuzz TrueType limits. Also I can't run Unifont compilation utilities on any machine I've tried, so I'm stuck with what I've got.

Sometimes it's okay to be proud of what you've got.
I mean, it will work better on the older Linux builds its intended for, and it is actually generatable without crashes in FontForge, or forcing inflexible code to compile, or using the abridged Bits'N'Picas, which hates the BDF enough to not want to make a .hex.

Compatibility is key, folx.

I’ve released version 1.1 of my free coding and UI font family, Sudo.

Each style contains 1649 glyphs. Sudo supports the DIN 91379 and @koeberlin Latin S & M character sets, as well as Cyrillic and Latin, totalling a massive 416 languages for 3.3 billion people. according to @rosetta’s Hyperglot.

More info and download: kutilek.de/sudo-font/

#FreeFont #Coding #CodingFont #UI #UIDesign

All 1649 glyphs of the Bold weight of Sudo. Marked blue are composites (glyphs reusing other parts).

Monaspace: a superfamily of fonts for coding, that comes with 5 fonts, 3 variable axes (640k styles in total) and a bunch of very nice code ligatures. That’s, hot. Yup. (by Github Next and Lettermatic)

TIL in VSCode you can specify your CSS font-variation-settings under the "editor.fontVariations" key, and thus fine-tune your #CodingFont appearance.

"editor.fontFamily": "Sudo Var",
"editor.fontVariations": "'wght' 350",
"editor.fontLigatures": "'calt' 1, 'CODE' 1, 'onum' 0, 'zero' 1, 'cv02' 0, 'cv03' 0, 'cv04' 0",

#codingfont says my winner font is Fira Code! Have used it extensively for years, switched a couple of years ago, maybe I should revisit.
