 # Monotional ### Version 2.10 https://github.com/regularhunter/monotional-font Monotional is a humanist, monospace font based on [DejaVu Sans Mono](https://github.com/dejavu-fonts/dejavu-fonts) and inspired by André Berg's [Meslo](https://github.com/andreberg/Meslo-Font). Its goal is to provide an easily legible font for programming and technical work. There are three variants of Monotional: Monotional (dotted zero), MonotionalSZ (slashed zero), and MonotionalAZ (ambiguous zero).  *Figure 1: Comparison between versions* This effort began while I was maintaining a [downstream fork of Meslo](https://github.com/regularhunter/Meslo-Font/) in order to fix some issues with it until I realized that it would be easier to start over from scratch with DejaVu Sans Mono (which is itself based on Bitstream Vera Sans Mono).  *Figure 2: Monotional lorem ipsum*  *Figure 3: Monotional glyph chart* ### Changelog See the [latest release](https://github.com/regularhunter/monotional-font/releases) for more information. **v2.10** * Rescale ` % ` glyph to 104% of original size **v2.9** * Revert scaling of ` % ` glyph **v2.8** * Align ` % ` and ` ~ ` to integer coordinates * Scale ` % ` glyph to 104% of original size **v2.7** * Rework ` % ` glyph for all fonts **v2.6** * Correct thickness of regular and bold-italic ` figuredash ` **v2.5** * Rework all versions of ` 1 ` glyph **v2.4** * Center italic and bold-italic glyph for ` | ` * Add SZ (slashed zero) and AZ (ambiguous zero) variants **v2.3** * Add unique italic and bold-italic glyph for ` | ` **v2.2** * Add unique italic and bold-italic glyph for ` ' ` and ` " ` **v2.1** * Fix incorrect positioning of regular ` ^ ` glyph **v2.0** * Revise all dash glyphs for consistency * Add unique italic and bold-italic ` + ` glyph * Add unique italic and bold-italic ` = ` glyph * Increase height of bold and bold-italic glyph for ` ' ` and ` " ` * Slight adjustment to bold and bold-italic ` ^ ` glyph * Slight adjustment to italic and bold-italic ` 4 ` glyph **v1.9** * Rework bold, italic, and bold-italic ` 1 ` glyph to match regular version * Rework bold-italic ` # ` glyph to match bold version * Slight adjustment to italic ` ' ` and ` * ` glyph * Slight adjustment to bold and bold-italic ` - ` glyph * Slight adjustment to italic and bold-italic ` 4 ` glyph **v1.8** * Increase regular and italic ` ~ ` glyph weight **v1.7** * Change license to SIL OFL 1.1 * Remove font instructions inherited from DejaVu Sans Mono causing rendering issues in Windows (issue #1) * Small adjustment to italic ` @ ` glyph * Rework italic and bold-italic ` # ` glyph to match non-italic versions * Change ` ~ ` glyph style to emulate Fira Code **v1.6** * Remove fi and fl ligature * Fix swapped italic characters ` U+04CB/U+04CC ` <‒> ` U+04F6/U+04F7 ` **v1.5** * Small adjustment to ` 4 ` glyph **v1.4** * Small adjustment to ` @ ` glyph **v1.3** * Small adjustment to ` % ` glyph **v1.2** * Re-implement Monotional on top of DejaVu Sans Mono from scratch to fix display bug in MS Word. ` ~ @ ` glyph not re-implemented * Revert \` glyph width from v1.1 so that legibility is preserved for accented characters **v1.1** * Widen \` glyph for all fonts **v1.0** * First release!
