Just posted the following poorly-fleshed-out comment there: So disappointed that this document, as much as it obsesses over obscure physical quantities no one cares about, makes no…

I've seen some comments about how Times New Roman was replaced with something else to improve readability by many. There's an irony: the _Times_ (of London) commissioned it in 1932…

I think there's clones of it that aren't.

I didn't want to even try to mess with ligatures in a monospace font though I did œ and Œ and for WGL4 completeness IJ. So yeah I'll do ij as well...

When clicking to OPEN them (which I'm not able to do) or just right-clicking to INSTALL them (which I'm able to do)?

Old Timey Mono is the mostly faithful reproduction. Old Timey Code is the coding friendly font. I'm aiming for both.

Ok so there's no capital or small Y with breve in Unicode. Are you seeing the combining breve to the right of the Y/y (instead of atop it) when trying to use them? Your suggestions…

I was taught to use lowercase letter L for the digit 1 though I did see typewriter samples using the capital I.

In case you haven’t figured this out: Go to https://www.microsoft.com/design Scroll to the bottom. Look for the set of social media links; the first one is an “M”.

All the websites look the same but it's mostly because all the frameworks are the same. I'm thinking mainly of Bootstrap and Zurb Foundation. They share a lot of the same principle…

FontAwesome's documentation in the past contained examples using the element. Example: I believe they presently just use now.

The fact that I haven't done any serious work involving hinting with this font may have something to do with this issue as well. I'll have to look at this later.

I couldn't think of a better word than "ugly". Maybe "weird" or "quirky"? Honestly I'm not sure of that whole sentence. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

joe needs to be on that list. probably. https://joe-editor.sourceforge.io/

Install the web-mode package. It handles a lot of modern web stuff pretty well.
