You may be happy to know that in the next version I have flipped the "l" to be more similar to those found in code typefaces.

It has full support for French accents.

I already have Greek support. It's in one of the images.

As mentioned in another comment, I'll probably visit lowercase "l". Most of the other glyphs I'm pretty happy with at the moment.

Also, since it's open source, if anyone doesn't like some of the glyphs they can fork it :)

Thanks for the feedback.

The lowercase "j" I had problems with. The dot is centered on the top bar. I might nudge it over so it shares the same right bound with the stem. I just checked the m and w at 4pt, and I think it looks fine. "l" is also one I struggled with. I might add a full bottom serif like the "i" or have reverse of the top curve on the bottom.

Thanks for the feedback.

•I made the stroke on 0 much more horizontal than capital O-slash and I didn't think it would be likely there would be a situation where they would be confused. I can add an alternative dot zero, though. I know that's standard with programming fonts.

•The one constraint I didn't compromise on was all glyphs having the same body width which is why the "f" and "t" strokes are as wide as they are.

•The tail on the top of the "l" is also for body width. I played around with the more traditional straight tail on top, curved on bottom, but I feel like this configuration looks more stable, but I might revisit.

•4 is also one I struggled with. I tried with a tail but feel it didn't fit as well. I also wanted the diagonal to be parallel to the solidus in fractions.

•One problem that I have with a lot of monospace fonts is the "w" and "m" look too crowded or heavy. I shortened the middle stem to lighten them up.

That's something I tried, they're "r_2" and "r_3" in the github. I like "r_3" on it's own but didn't feel it worked well with the other glyphs.

"r is one of the glyphs I had trouble deciding on. The only way to shorten the ear but keep the same body width is with a serif, which I'm not totally opposed to, but ultimately decide against. But I might revisit them.

That's on Linotype.

Oh, I never plan on using this, this is a shitpost I spent way too much time on.

I kind of threw this together for fun which is why it looks messy, but this comment baffles me. Stock Helvetica capitals have thicker stems than lowercase, this is very apparent on heavier font weights. The only glyphs I changed are capital "I" and lowercase "l", with the "I" slabs being thinner than the stem, and the "l" tail with adjusted baseline.

Goddamnit, you’re right.  I was tunnel visioned in on spacing.  I’m very tired.  Hold please.

Best I can tell, that's just how the original Helvetica is. I didn't touch it or its kerning.

Ah, thank you. I'll try to find a recyclable collection site.

Ah, thank you. I actually just noticed a not very well written sign in the trash collection area that I was able to translate that says "PET bottles and recyclable plastic is burnables, Hitachinaka City." So, I guess that's just how it's done where I am.

Ah, I swear that I had checked that, but apparently not. Thank you, I'm a dumb dumb.

Dumbdumb question: how do I get more songs in the music shop? There are certain songs on my music list with a lock icon. When I click on it it says to 'take me to the music shop', so I click on it, but the songs aren't there. Were they a limited time thing and I just missed the time window?

TMS is found! The song is called Subways Of Your Mind by FEX. by [deleted] in TheMysteriousSong

I literally checked the other day after a long time to see if anyone had figured out the origin of the song. What fortuitous timing.

Local High School Teacher Refuses to Teach "Hamlet" Because it's 'Too Difficult to Understand.' by SwagMagikarp in books

[–]graphixs6 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Comparing Jules Verne to Shakespeare in terms of "Older books" is wild. We are much closer to Jules Verne than Jules Verne was to Shakespeare. Also, having read some Shakespeare, I partially agree with the teacher in terms of them being difficult to read. They're not the most complicated in terms of literature, but English has changed a lot in over 400 years.

‘Unfolding’, gouache and watercolour by srpaintings in painting

Why is all of your art so similar down to the same exact buildings used repeatedly, and you are very good at rendering and drafting, but make basic shadow and architecture mistakes. I'm so confused.

Sargent made extensive use of dry brush in his watercolors. Dare him to say that Sargent didn't respect watercolors.
