Fantasque Sans Mono
===================
2017-07-10 13:12:12 +02:00
A programming font, designed with functionality in mind, and with some
2013-11-18 12:12:44 +01:00
wibbly-wobbly handwriting-like fuzziness that makes it unassumingly cool.

Previously known as *Cosmic Sans Neue Mono*. It
appeared that [similar names were already in use for other
fonts](https://github.com/belluzj/cosmic-sans-neue/issues/16), and that
people tended to extend their instinctive hatred of Comic Sans to this very
font of mine (which of course can only be *loved*). Why the previous name?
Here is my original explanation:
> The name comes from my realization that at some point it looked like the
> mutant child of Comic Sans and Helvetica Neue. Hopefully it is not the
> case any more.

Inspirational sources include Inconsolata and Monaco. I have also been using
2013-11-18 12:35:33 +01:00
Consolas a lot in my programming life, so it may have some points in common.

Weights, variants and glyph coverage
------------------------------------
2017-07-10 13:12:12 +02:00
The font includes a bold version, with the same metrics as the regular one.
Both versions include the same ranges of characters : latin letters, some
accented glyphs (quite a lot), some greek letters, some arrows.
Please note that I have not tested all of the glyphs I have drawn (some letters
have those two layers of crazy accents that I have never witnessed before), so
it might look bad in some cases. Please report these problems: see next section.

It also features a good italic version, which I designed in a fashion similar
to Consolas' italic version, with new glyph designs, not just an added slant.

Stylistic set(s)

### `ss01`: nondescript `k`
No ~~distractive~~ lovely loop.

Github](http://github.com/belluzj/cosmic-sans-neue/issues) if you stumble upon

Installation
------------
2018-07-18 14:51:18 +02:00
You can [download the latest version](https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans/releases/latest)
and install it by hand. In the `NoLoopK` variant, the looped lowercase `k` is
replaced with a straight version. The `LargeLineHeight` variant is especially
useful for users of accented capitals. For more info, see the [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md).
Automatic installation on macOS with [homebrew](https://brew.sh):
brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts #You only need to do this once for cask-fonts
brew cask install font-fantasque-sans-mono
Instructions for other platforms might follow.
Building installable font files
-------------------------------
The build process requires:
* FontForge with python scripting support,
* `ttfautohint`
* `sfnt2woff` (from the `woff-tools` package on Ubuntu)
* `ttf2eot`, for example from [this
repository](https://github.com/harrastia/ttf2eot).
* `woff2_compress` from [the Google WOFF2
tools](https://github.com/google/woff2)
2019-06-12 18:15:37 +02:00
2019-06-13 04:11:38 +02:00
## For linux users clone and build ttf2eot and woff2 ,the destination location must be on desktop.
2019-06-12 18:15:37 +02:00
Run `make`. You should see green stuff and some "OK" messages.
2013-11-18 12:12:44 +01:00
If you are using Ubuntu, please note that the FontForge version
in the default Ubuntu repositories is much outdated at the time of this writing,
and that [is known to have caused subtle problems](https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans/issues/59).
You are advised to install FontForge from
[this PPA](https://launchpad.net/~fontforge/+archive/ubuntu/fontforge)
(using `sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fontforge/fontforge` prior to the installation).
Alternatively, you can always [download](https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans/releases/latest)
the latest prebuilt release of these fonts.
2017-07-10 13:12:12 +02:00
`make install` will install the TTF fonts into your local `.fonts/` directory
2014-01-03 17:02:51 +01:00
and update the font cache. It comes in handy while modifying the font.

Webfonts
--------
Each variant has a `Webfonts/` folder which contains various font formats for
use on the web, along with the matching CSS font declarations. To use them,
you must combine in the same folder:
* a custom `.css` file that you can assemble from the `*-decl.css` fragments
(you can only pick the styles that you need, e.g. normal and bold)
* the matching `.svg`, `.woff`, `.woff2`, `.eot` files from `Webfonts/`
* the matching `.ttf` files from the `TTF/` folder
* the matching `.otf` files from the `OTF/` folder.
