<p>Microsoft released a new open source font yesterday to go along with their
|
|
Windows Terminal project. I wipped up a quick ebuild to use it on my Gentoo
|
|
systems.</p>
|
|
<hr />
|
|
<p>My first thoughts are that it is very refeshing to a have a nice new font to
|
|
look at. I particularly like the letter spacing. While I've been using <a href="https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode">Fira
|
|
Code</a> for a while, I've felt it takes just a tad too much spacing between
|
|
letters. <a href="https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code">Cascadia Code</a> on the other hand feels tight and fun.</p>
|
|
<p>The font also supports <a href="https://www.hanselman.com/blog/MonospacedProgrammingFontsWithLigatures.aspx">ligatures</a> which allows specific combinations of
|
|
characters (commonly used in programming) to join together to and become a
|
|
single character symbolic of its function.</p>
|
|
<p>Unfortunatly, the terminal and editor apps I use on Gentoo don't currently
|
|
support ligatures. Regardless, I think it looks quite nice at the moment.</p>
|
|
<p>Here is a screenshot: <img src="images/cascadiacode.png" alt="screenshot" /></p>
|
|
<p>And you can find my ebuild <a href="https://github.com/zigford/gentoo-zigford/tree/master/media-fonts/cascadia-code">here</a></p>
