Nice! I love testing new fonts. Using wezterm and alacritty (fedora 38) they look wildly different from JetBrains Mono - specially the width/ line height, but on the website they look similar in width/line height. Anyone knows why? Any tips? Ty!

I found setting config.line_height = 1.2 (or 1.3) fixed it up for me, I had the exact same reaction as to you with the line height!

Had the same issue with built in Archive Utility but I got it to unzip with the app The Unarchiver. The regular font files work but it does say this about all of the Italic font files: >Could not extract "CommitMono-450-Italic.otf" from the "CommitMono.zip" archive: The archive file is incomplete

Same situation, I unzipped it with the built-in `unzip`, but the italics are corrupted. I think the ZIP file is just broken.

Thanks for the `unzip` tip. I find the same result. Maybe a problem with customization around italics?

I then opened it on desktop, tried to scroll and realised that it uses WASD keys which are all over my keyboard. The scroll wheel on my mouse/trackpad/etc don't work. As a user of a non-QWERTY layout this sucks. Then I tried to use the text zoom and while it documents thi…

It's an overly stylized affectation for a font website but everything here is mouse-accessible; I didn't use my keyboard at all. My scroll wheel works and you can click on the key buttons on the bottom and the categories on the top.
