V7.0 Beta36

This is the final beta version, which can be regarded as stable

Most of issues fixed in this release are reported by fontbakery (the check tool used by Google Fonts), but there still exists some issues like missing unicode characters, which have no effect in most cases. So I plan to fix them in next major release. You can track the progress in #272.

CN Base Fonts

Introduce

This is not a regular release. Just provide the download links of CN base fonts for CI and custom build.

The font is a subset of Resource Han Rounded with these changes:

• Increase glyph width to make 2 latin glyphs' width (600) match 1 CJK glyph's width (1200). See in #211
• Scale and translate all CJK glyphs to make them visually centered with Maple Mono.
• Add cv96, cv97, cv98 and cv99.
• Change the name to Maple Mono CN

unicodes = [
    # 、。《》and so on
    0x3001, 0x3002, *range(0x3007, 0x3012),
    # Japanese part
    *range(0x3041, 0x3100),
    # Chinese part
    *range(0x4E00, 0x9FFF),
    # （）and so on
    0xFF01, 0xFF08, 0xFF09, 0xFF0C, 0xFF1A, 0xFF1B, 0xFF1F, *range(0xFF5B, 0xFF5E),
]

There are two formats:

• cn-base-variable.zip: Original variable CN base font.
• cn-base-static.zip: Pre-instantiated static CN base font.

Usage

If you want to build locally, run the build script with --cn option. Or you can manually download the cn-base-static.zip and extract it to source/cn/static.

If you want to modify the CN part, setup cn.use_static_base_font to false in config.json, then run python build.py or manually download the cn-base-variable.zip and extract it to source/cn (instatiate will cost about 25 min on Mac M4, 30 ~ 40 min on Windows ZenBook 2024).

Stable version is coming.

V7.0 Beta30

In this release, I did some works to make >> and >>> more "smarter", but there are some limitations due to the render engine and the conflict usage. You can make it "normal" as previous release by enabling ss07. See details in #275 .

Also, I found a interesting feature that allow to merge two variable fonts into one without breaking the "variable". See details in #271.

• disable <- when having tailing number
• longger |> / <| ...
• optimize a, %, @, ~@ in cv01, cv02
• improve i, f #273
• break italic connected strokes when multiple
• improve italic x, add italic xl
• improve $, &, b, d, p, q, italic d / n / p / r / u

V7.0 Beta29

Last week, I happened to watch a video about font design, and I realized that some aspects of my font were not quite appropriate, so I improved those issues in this release. While the differences might not be noticeable in everyday coding, the font's quality and legibility have indeed been enhanced.

Changes

• optimize percent.cv01 and numbersign.cv01 #245
• fix contour sequence issues
• remove space required in <<  and  >> by default #233
• sharpen latin letters' cross corner, adjust weird glyph stems
• make ss05 to disable escape char #234
• move double headed arrows and reversed arrows ( like <<- / >>= / -< ) to ss08
• add support to remove all ligature #248

V7.0 Beta28

The files are updated after fixing some bugs in build script

Breaking Change

More fine-grained ligatures and features, see docs and #255

Other Changes

• optimize glyphs
• refactor build script
• partially support narrowed CN glyphs #249

PS: VSCode have no unified font family amd cannot customize background image, so I made a extension
