My own pixel font for programming/shell; if you're using this, you're insane
What
It is a my own monospace pixel font, suitable for shell and programming.
Things was started as rasterized version of original Monaco font, but after a while I've redrawed all glyphs, made it wider and added bold typeface.
Usage
git clone github.com/seletskiy/monaco-font ~/.fonts
In ~/.xinitrc
:
xset fp+ ~/.fonts
xset fp rehash
In ~/.Xresources`:
URxvt.font: xft:Monaco:pixelsize=12:antialias=false
URxvt.boldFont: xft:Monaco:style=Bold:pixelsize=12:antialias=false
URxvt.italicFont:
URxvt.boldItalicFont:
Why
- Sharp mind so as sharp font is required for great programming.
- Bold typeface while being 12px height; because of that font is wider than most of the 12px fonts:
- Cyrillic letters; only most popular pixel fonts has this:
- Properly aligned math/programming symbols (compare with Terminus):
- Continious box-drawing symbols (in some pixel fonts there are spacing between glyphs):
- Braces that really encloses contents (compare with Terminus):
- Powerline ready:
- Looks good on websites:
- Because the death is not a release:
