Hey everyone,
I'm a senior software engineer, and (still) very nerdy with aesthetics on my machine specially with my monospace fonts. I've been collecting them over the years and there's a couple very good ones, but .. I still haven't for +20 years found a type of font I always felt would be the one, so decided to ask in a font forum for community feedback/suggestion if such a font exists:
- monospace (used for coding/programming)
- sans serif
- the most important little detail is to have the top of the lowercase letter "m" as a straight line (or straight/horizontal "shoulder" which seems is the technical definition of top of letters like m, n.
Fingers crossed that font exists, thanks for any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated,
Emanuel O.

Re: horizontal shoulder in lower case letter m
I searched through my own fonts using MainType, but they all have round tops.

Thanks for feedback, lets hope someone is aware of this font, otherwise would be great motivation for someone to go and create such a fontBhikkhu Pesala wrote: ↑Sun Nov 12, 2023 12:06 pm I searched through my own fonts using MainType, but they all have round tops.

I have never seen such monospaced font, but you can always modify an open source font to suit your needs.
Re: horizontal shoulder in lower case letter m
Im a software developer but.. unsure how easy and ammount of work to have full functional font as its not just basic letters, digits and symbols (ascii codes < 255) but all the other codes above, called glyphs i think which are used in many tools like githash etc to display arrows etc.. i suspect that would be too keep chbeork..Erwin Denissen wrote: ↑Sun Nov 12, 2023 3:06 pm I have never seen such monospaced font, but you can always modify an open source font to suit your needs.
