Improvements in this release:
- Many more OpenType Features! Refer to the Readme for information about using these. I'm loving coding with Recursive with a few of the options here, especially because VS Code recently started support OpenType features. Options include simplified versions of several key characters (
a g f i l r L Z 1), a dotted zero, and code ligatures. - Complete character set! In previous releases, there were a few glyphs missing from full coverage of Recursive's modified Google Fonts Latin Expert glyph set. With beta v1.026, the variable font has 1154 glyphs (727 unique characters, plus alternate glyphs to make
MONO&italaxes work). - Works better in Windows: names of statics have been abbreviated more aggressively, so the statics work well on Windows, in VS Code (As tested on a VMWare installation of Windows 10. If anyone has continued issues, please file an issue).
- Many small refinements and upgrades to glyph outlines, spacing, and kerning.
Still to do:
- Support for more of the code ligatures which are drawn, but not yet included in the
dligfeature. - Make Bold & Bold Italic style linking work on Windows – currently, Italic linking works well
- Make Italic style-linking work on macOS in VS Code
- Make OpenType features work for Casual styles on Windows. Currently, these are working well in Linear styles only (they work well across all tested styles on macOS).
- Fix
fiandflitalic ligatures in Static fonts. These are working well in the variable font, but need some adjusted feature code because glyph names are swapped around a bit in the static font build.
I'll be working to fix these issues as soon as possible and make another release soon!
