Peseta sign

[throwaway571]

The glyph for the peseta sign U+20A7 in Iosevka 3.0.0-rc1 is a horizontally squashed Ps. The Spanish peseta never had a standardized symbol, but Spanish typewriters often had a Pts monogram, and that was the reference glyph used in the video card ROM for the IBM PC, which eventually became IBM’s codepage 437. I know that forcing three characters into the space of one can get unreadable, so I don’t know if this was by design, or if it was just an oversight.

It is by design, and using Ps is also because that Iosevka is not wide enough, and an old font (cannot remember what it is) I was using is designed it like Ps.

Many fonts use a single striked P vs double strike Peso ₱ refer to

@be5invis Just a heads up: the P with crossbar glyph is a deprecated form based on a mistaken identification with the Philippine peso sign. https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2000/00013-n2156.pdf

You honestly may want to make the peseta sign a double-wide Pts monogram instead.

@throwaway571, if the peso glyph is wrong for the peseta, I think you should open a new issue, to make sure this gets fixed.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Personally as in my previous image, I would have gone with the subscript ₜ between the P + s maybe with lesser weight of the t versus heavier P and s .

₧ₜ Ps + ₜ overstrike
