6 years ago I set out to improve GNU Unifont, and finally after 6 years I have finished. It has MANY special Unicode symbols, including gender ones and plenty of technical ones. I use it as my IDE and terminal fonts on ALL my OSes. Oh and this time I fixed the link.

Also, "UnifontExMono.png" is both its own preview image as well as a proper build of the font for use cases where TTF and BDF are too big, like in character LCDs. I also do extensive documentation of my content so don't hate me.

Here's a link: UnifontEX

Incredibly based. Love the rant-like structure of the post rsther than boring bullet points with pretty badges. I don't need a sales pitch to understand why I need to use this font.

Sorry.

Did you mean to link to the project? Maybe it's my app but I don't see anything.

[–] stgiga@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yes. I forgot that Lemmy didn’t let you upload images AND URLs. I made it now link to the Github page. http://stgiga.github.io/UnifontEX

Also this reply originally wasn't a reply, I think Lemmy is buggy right now.

The most prominent image on the page should appear as the link preview so adding the logo link to README.md could help; you can add an image and/or link to the repo in the post body.

I did do the Markdown image embed into the README, as well as a repo link and image in the body of the post, but regrettably Lemmy isn't making the actual post image work.

UPDATE:

UnifontEX has now received a JSTF table, a process that fixed compatibility with some programs. It also has been given a vector DFONT and a better WOFF1 in terms of bandwith. PLEASE redownload.

I just made a NEC PC-98 version via Neko Project 2 (the Wii version can make TrueType fonts into ANEX86.BMP replacements for PC-98 emulators) which has been uploaded.
