suggestion to add an alternative `l`

Open disconsis opened this issue 1 year ago • 16 comments

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: image

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

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

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

cv03,as shown at the right part of gif

only available in v7, which have no stable release

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

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!

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?

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.

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