On: Atkinson Hyperlegible Font

Is there a monospaced version, or an inspired monospaced version based on this available?

[jdknezek → amirmasoudabdol]

I made a custom Iosevka build by selecting glyph variants based on Atkison Hyperlegible.

Iosevka: https://typeof.net/Iosevka

Iosevka is absolutely wonderful!

I have my own builds -- not based on AH's glyph choices, but also chosen to minimize glyph ambiguity.

I'll mention another great legible monospace project: 0xProto

I really like the aesthetics of Iosevka, but the glyphs are really narrow - resulting in severe readability problems for me (I'm diagnosed dyslexic).

You can configure your build to be wider than default. In order of increasing width:

- semi-extended

- extended

- extra-extended

- ultra-extended

I think by default the extended variant is included in most builds anyway, if you want to try it.

FWIW here's a sample of my usual build's extended variant: https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/b49zcjd53oy.png

I'll add that https://github.com/0xType/0xProto is worth checking out, if you haven't. What mono (and proportional) fonts do you find work best for you?

* MonoLisa was pretty good, minus the cursive. As a late/16yo diagnosis under a British curriculum, I cannot express in words just how hostile cursive is. Its continued use in society is an embarrassment /rant

* Intel Commit.

* I am currently using Maple Mono.

Not that I've found, but I use Commit Mono alongside it with good results

"Safari download not working, try Firefox or Chrome"

You gotta be joking.

[Cyberdog → keyle]

I looked at the code to see why it would be doing that. It seems to handle the font customization stuff by basically downloading all of the variants and then combining them into a zip file in client-side code - even when you do no customization at all. Apparently that code which makes the zip (which I'm guessing is an external library) creates a corrupted one when run in Safari according to a comment buried in the JS.

Maybe it really is a bug on Safari's part but creating custom zip archives is something which would be far saner to do on the server side in the first place.

[SSLy → Cyberdog]

that'd include paying for computation time vs just static content on a CDN

[AbraKdabra → keyle]

I know right? Who uses Safari nowadays?

[keyle → AbraKdabra]

A website where a download link requires FF/Chrome. The whole website I thought was silly, but that takes the cake.

I recently replaced mine and ruled out a bunch of others based on just two rules:

- the zero must have a mark - the base of the lower case L must go to the right and not the left, for better distinction from the number one

[nh2 → amirmasoudabdol]

I need that too for hyper-OCR-able monospace labels.

[keyle → amirmasoudabdol]

yeah it's obviously a low priority for them but a monospace version of this font would be very interesting.
