Cosmic Sans Neue Mono
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
A programming font, designed with functionality in mind, and with some
|
|
wibbly-wobbly handwriting-like fuzziness that makes it unassumingly cool.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Not related to other Cosmic Sans from the Internet. This one has Neue at the
|
|
end, and it changes everything (most notably the coolness level). 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
|
|
Consolas a lot in my programming life, so it may have some points in common.

Weights, variants and glyph coverage
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
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 lacks a good italic version, which I plan to design later, in a fashion
|
|
similar to Consolas' italic version, with new glyph designs, not just an added
|
|
slant.

bad design or rendering problems (with screen shot if possible), or if you need

more characters, or if you want to compliment me (I love compliments).

|
|
TTF fonts are now hinted using Freetype's `ttfautohint`, which should
|
|
give much better results on Windows (and maybe in Java apps and others
|
|
contexts). In case this is a problem, please let me know and I will
|
|
provide also an unhinted version.
|
|
**Windows users should use the TTF (TrueType) files.**
