Monospace fonts for your terminal, but with ligatures that give e.g. "m" more space if it is next to narrower characters like "i" or "l".

@nblr wtf, no!

@manawyrm Hear me out: the m will never spill over into the bounding boxes of adjacent characters' spaces, but it will fill the maximum width if it doesn't hurt the empty spaces of those characters.

@nblr sorry I'm with @manawyrm on that one.

@funkylab @manawyrm I see the point - monospace characters should in theory render the same in all places - however I’m willing to give this a try due to the Hirnschmalz that went into this.

@nblr whoa, this is really neat. I wonder if anything beside VS Code is going to be compatible with it
Show thread~nNov 10, 2023
@mav I’ll give iTerm2 a go.

@nblr This is a hell of a rabbit-hole. Well done.

@nblr that feels cursed to me. I'm not liking these slight misalignment vibes it gives.

@nblr it's funny, how I can appreciate the thought and work that went into this and find it very fascinating, but at the same time am very sure I never want to use this.

@nblr I'm blown away by the detailed interactive explanation they have on their website. That being said, the actual font doesn't look noticeably different to me, even if I toggle back and forth with the "Texture..." switch 🤷
Show threadTomNov 10, 2023
@floe I noticed that too. But the illustrations further down do show a clear difference.
I suspect the texture healing feature might be unsupported in the browser I used (mobile Safari). Or that there‘s a bug on the website.

@nblr I never really noticed but now I can't unsee, thanks

@nblr there is no more room in my heart next to IBM Plex Mono Nerd font 😍
