v1.300

๐Ÿš€ It's time for more Monaspace! v1.3 is hot off the presses with more glyphs and more granular downloads. Let's dive in!

๐Ÿ‘‰ Everything fixed in v1.3 ๐Ÿ‘ˆ

Font Packages

By popular request (and because it's actually quite sensible) we've split up the download packages in 1.3 so as to make it easy to download only the pieces you want. Most of the size of the packages comes from the NerdFonts builds. If that's not your cup of tea, then you won't need to download the NerdFont variants any longer:

  • Static Fonts - Individual OTF files for each weight and style
  • Variable Fonts - Modern variable font files with adjustable weight/width
  • Frozen Fonts - TTF files with all stylistic sets "baked in" by default for editors which do not support stylistic sets
  • NerdFonts - The static fonts patched with NerdFonts glyphs

Additionally, there are three packages of webfonts, each of which contains both WOFF and WOFF2 files:

  • Web Static - Static fonts, one per cut
  • Web Variable - Variable font files, one per family
  • Web NerdFonts - Static fonts patched with NerdFonts glyphs

The installation packages do not include any of the other content in the repository to simplify automated usage. If you want the documentation, README, or License files, they are available for you to read in the repository.

Important

As of 1.3, this also means that we no longer include installer scripts. Four different desktop font packages and three major operating systems means we would need a dozen logic paths for installers, and that's just not something we can maintain indefinitely. You'll have to manually install these just like most fonts on the internet.

Enhancements

  • ๐Ÿ”  added over 850 new glyphs! See the graphics below for a full tour.
  • ๐Ÿค expanded texture healing to apply in many more cases
  • ๐Ÿงฎ increased support for APL and other mathematical notations (note: Greek letters will be added in 1.4)
  • added #![ ligature to ss10
  • extended cv02, cv10, cv11 and cv62 to work when texture healing is also enabled
  • โœด๏ธ extended cv31 to cover new asterisk variants
  • extended cv32 to cover non-ligature variants as well
  • added cv33 for use with APL, changing the appearance of โ—‹โ–กโˆŠ to match the rest of the APL character set
  • added alternate underscore characters to calt that will improve spacing next to characters with lots of space underneath (like T, Y, 7, etc.)
