UNIX was created for ATT to sell more telephone service From where did you get this idea? Citation needed.
Big if true! Acoustic coupler modems had only existed for a few years when Unix development started, and ARPANET was starting around the same time. It would be an impressive amount of foresight if they predicted that demand for computer networking would become high and that existing OS's would be somehow ill-suited for running its infrastructure.
The Zero and capital "O" look quite similar to my eye: https://berkeleygraphics.com/static/images/marketing/code-sy... I doubt that this amount of work overlooked such a common programming font comparison. Any idea why they made them nearly identical?
I can only really judge a font when its loaded in my system, running in my setup. I wish font makers targeting developers would release trial fonts (with some essential chars missing or similar), so that we could test them properly before paying. I am always looking for a better font, and this one looks like it may be an improvement over my current one.
Thanks and good feedback, beta testing was done in a similar way - font cut with a few missing glyphs and was limited to ASCII-basic set. I'll see if I can extend this more generally.

There is a ton of entitlement nowadays, that's for sure. One should be grateful to those who do release their hard work to the public domain or under a FOSS license, rather than being resentful toward those who don't. People absolutely deserve to be compensated for their work, if they so choose, and they are absolutely permitted to release their work under any license they want.
I think the problem is more that the costs feel exorbitant with respect to both the perceived effort and utility. 75$ is half a year of Netflix - a product clearly born of extensive multi-disciplinary effort - which can't but feel excessive given that the marginal utility of a font is just so low. I guess I could summarize as saying that an expensive[0] font just isn't, or more strongly, can't be interesting.[1] [0]M…
The commercial license for this is also a steal.
Seems like on here, free typefaces are desired but a lot of these free typefaces are released by multi-million dollar corporations...they have someone on payroll to work on them.
I welcome indie typographers.

Edit: Fixed. Thank you!

All those zero glyphs... is it getting hot in here?? Never seen that one with the negative-space slash. Is there a name for that?
Is there an editor that can do things like this? Or is it all laid out by hand?
