  11. That is exactly the kind of problem this font wants to solve. Just change the x-height to your taste: https://github.com/be5invis/Iosevka/blob/master/parameters.t...
  12. Iosevka is also parametric, but fixed for a given TTF, as far as I can tell. Very nice for coding. https://github.com/be5invis/Iosevka
  13. …("patel") running on top of node, written by the same author as the font. Really impressive! https://github.com/be5invis/Iosevka/tree/master/glyphs https://github.com/be5invis/Iosevka/tree/master/support https://github.com/be5invis/patel
  14. Maybe this is related – from https://github.com/be5invis/Iosevka/releases : Spacing: How wide some specific characters are. Default: The default variant with ligatures and semantic full-width glyphs. Terminal: Exact monospaced font without…
