Already in the AUR as otf-suse and ttf-suse. :)

Silly question: what’s the difference between the otf and ttf fonts?

Edit: thanks for the explainers!

As far as I understand it, TTFs are more basic, while OTF can have more features and glyphs.

thingsiplay ,

OTF is a modern extended version of TTF, with more features. Downsides are it can be bigger in filesize and could even take longer to load. But that is not really relevant for modern computing and one should default to OTF, unless there is a good reason to use TTF variant (if both are available).

Ephera ,

Sounds like it, yeah.

no dotted zeroes = no terminal use

thingsiplay ,

I don’t think this font was designed for the terminal. It’s a sans font with some inspiration from monospace styling, but with focus of brand recognition and usage in headlines or text. That’s what I’m getting here. Similar to what Ubuntu does with their font.

Not a fan of semi-serif fonts, and not digging the rounded “corners” on E and L (while having sharp ones in lowercase L and lowercase i), but it seems it is trying to be highly readable so indeed it should be great for UI stuff. And doing a complete typeface covering such huge character map is no easy job.

aksdb ,

I don’t understand how that hybrid is supposed to work. Monospace is a binary attribute; either all chars have the same width or not. So what is the font now?

nehal3m ,

That’s a great question, on the face of it I can’t find very much info online. Wikipedia has an entry for monotype but not hybrid. The page ‘hybrid font’ does not exist. If anyone has more info please feel free to tag me, I’d love to know.

Prunebutt ,

It says that it s “inspired” by monospaced fonts. I imagine they mean stuff like the tiny serif on the lowercase i

EtzBetz ,

This

Guenther_Amanita ,

I will give the font a try!

I’m not dyslexic, but I think legibility is super important and underrated on most distros. This one looks both aesthetic and very readable.

Do you know if it is already in the Fedora repos? If not, how can I install it?

Sunny OP ,

Personally just grabbed it from their release page: github.com/SUSE/suse-font/releases/tag/v1.000. Then dropped those files into my ~/.fonts, directory.

Very nice.

Feathercrown ,

What is going on with that lowercase g?

accideath ,

That’s fairly standard for serif fonts like times new roman, baskerville, etc. Although it is uncommon in modern sans serif fonts and/or fonts designed to be viewed on a screen.

I’m not a fan of the way the lowercase L’s tail interacts with uppercase letters, but other than that it’s not bad!

Botzo ,

The “fi” combination also seems problematic since they seem to intersect.

That’s a ligature, it’s deliberate.

Botzo ,

To me, that’s even worse. Ligatures that have 0 separation where it’s expected short circuit my reading comprehension.

MonkCanatella ,

I like it. Not gonna nitpick. It’s nicer than those microsoft fonts that came out recently

HaleHirsute ,

That’s a pretty good looking font. I think that lowercase g might be distracting but it’s workable.

potentiallynotfelix ,

i fw it

daqu ,

Looks nice, but I will keep IBM Plex Mono.

Tried it on Gnome, didn’t look the greatest. The numbers in the time were really close to the colon in the top panel. Very well could just be a Gnome issue though, the way it handles fonts is weird.

zod000 ,

I don’t love it, but I also went in hoping for a possible new monospaced font to try out. It’s nice to have options and maybe give Suse a slightly more distinct look I suppose.

kautau ,

Random recommendation, but I recently stumbled upon monaspace.githubnext.com, and it seems like a pretty cool approach to the whole “monospace font for dev work”

zod000 ,

I remember these when they came out, and I liked Neon and Krypton the most. I’m glad you linked it so others might get to see it though, thanks!

mosjek ,

The idea of the github fonts is interesting, but I find it strange that the same letters next to each other can have different widths. I currently prefer the CommitMono approach.

zod000 ,

That’s actually very much my kind of font, thanks a lot. At first glace I still prefer my current font (Liberation Mono), but I’ll give it a test run and see how it feels after a couple of weeks. You can never tell right away if a font is a keeper.

zod000 ,

I’ve used it in the past, thanks for reminding me of it though.
