Nah, I want my zeros with a middle dot. Slash doesn't cut it.
That’s one of the options.

Re: Commit Mono – Neutral programming typeface
#62The typeface looks nice, but I first opened the site on mobile and it told me to use keys to navigate, effectively locking me out from browsing it. 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…
Same feelings about it here. The font actually looks pretty nice, but I won't be using it because that website is utter garbage. I take no issue with the creator taking the time to code up a cute terminal-like interface, but there absolutely needs to be a link to a basic version of the site (and it needs to not require me to press a key to navigate to that link).

I found this on their FAQ: "There have been some problems with downloading .zip files from Safari. The download is tested to work in Chrome and FireFox."

#65> The most effective font is the one you don’t notice. No super high x-height, no geometric construction, no eye-catching design and no confusing ligatures. Designed to be neutral and anonymous, Commit Mono is quietly useful. Thank you for this memorandum, and especially for "no confusing ligatures".
It’s true, some monospace fonts have absurd ligatures enabled by default. The craziest thing I’ve seen was a single-width “fi” ligature. The only point of this ligature in proportional fonts is to prevent the dot on the ‘i’ from overlapping with the hook of the ‘f’, and that by definition can’t happen in monospace! But you madmen decided to create a single “fi” glyph, like it was a letter of its own. Imagine that on…
Unicode U+FB01 is the fi ligature as a single precombined codepoint. You're right - it doesn't make any sense to have a monospaced glyph for that ligature, or for fl or ffi or many other codepoints in the Alphabetic Presentation Forms block. But those codepoints exist, and somebody might print them to the terminal, and a terminal has to represent every non-CJK glyph as a single character cell...

#66Oh, I know the site design is getting a lot of hate but I think its very cool. I love seeing plays on interfaces like this, would love to hear more about how it was made and what inspired it!
Re: Commit Mono – Neutral programming typeface
#67This looks pretty good. Here's another one to check out if you want something thinner (more terminal space). https://mplusfonts.github.io/#mpluscode
I really like it, it's fresh and friendly. it has a narrow option to have that compact spacing like iosevka which is my favorite. I can't use regular width font anymore after being use to narrow width.

#68Alas, missing ℕ ℤ ⊢ λ. If you're missing lambda, you're out for me unfortunately. Maybe a future version will have a wider coverage of Unicode.

#69Does anyone know why it looks much better on VSC than WebStorm on Mac? Would love to love IntelliJ products but I can't stand the way they render text.
You might have to enable/disable (subpixel?) anti aliasing?

Truly the Internet Explorer of the modern age.
(Perhaps this is Safari passing the download through some more rigorous "malware checker" on macOS that Chrome/Firefox doesn't have access too?)
