Gitee release for MapleMono-NF-CN

When will V7 become stable?

It is almost stable now.

As a side project during my weekends, I will release a new beta version to fix the bugs reported or encountered in my daily coding within 1-2 weeks, and do some work on the new website and build tools.

If everything goes well, the stable version will be released later this year.

What are the differences between different formats?

  • Differences between "hinted font" and "unhinted font":
    • "hinted font" is used for low resolution screen to have better render effect. From my experience, if your screen resolution is lower or equal than 1080P, it is recommended to use "hinted font". In this case, you can choose MapleMono-TTF-AutoHint / MapleMono-NF / MapleMono-NF-CN.
    • "unhinted font" is used for high resolution screen (e.g. for Mac), when using "hinted font", it will blur your text or make it looks weird. In this case, you can choose MapleMono-OTF / MapleMono-TTF. If you want to support Nerd Font, you can set MapleMono-NF (or NerdFontBase.ttf in src-font dir) as fallback font, or build your own font. 同理，如果需要支持中文字体，把MapleMono-NF-CN设置为回退字体或者自行构建即可
