#42Does anyone know what font is used for the copy of this website?
Inspecting the page in the Inspector shows that it's using the Univers[1] font

#43At a risk of sounding like a font snob, what's the difference between this and Roboto?
A very distinctive feature of Berkeley Mono seems to be the squared-circle used in the rounded characters, where Roboto has very circular characters. I'm sure there a lot more differences if I saw them side-by-side, but that's the most obvious one for this font snob.

I'd second the vote for some "testing" fonts. At the very least, could you include some screenshots of larger chunks of code, with {} etc? I can't really tell how this will look on a screen full of code.
Here is some Python, but no {}: https://neil.computer/notes/berkeley-mono-february-update/#b... I'll plan for a nice page with various languages and full page screenshots. Edit: Fixed link, thanks.

#46> Berkeley Mono wears a UNIX T-shirt and aspires to be etched on control panels in black synthetic lacquer. It is Adrian Frutiger visits Bell Labs. It is Gene Kranz's command. It operates with calibrated precision and has a datasheet. It costs $75 for an individual license, not really in the spirit of UNIX
Yeah, every time a typeface is shared on here it is met with some opposition since most cost money for individuals/personal use. I understand it's hard to take the time to design a nice typeface and that the creators should be compensated for their work, but sadly it means fonts like these are practically limited to commercial use. I wonder if there's a better way to turn a profit on typefaces - there's been a handfu…
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 admire the marketing copy very much!
Re: Show HN: Berkeley Mono Typeface
#48This looks great. It reminds me very much of the old vt100 font except that obviously without visible pixelation and gaps. Nice job.
Re: Show HN: Berkeley Mono Typeface
#49I would love to see ligatures incorporated but I understand that is a polarizing opinion. I love the little niceties of rendering arrows which are used all over the place these days.
+1, this would be an instant purchase if it included ligature options. I like supporting font designers but for a mono font I need this.
