<p>Google informed me that the top page on my website by clicks in their search last month was<br>„Top 20 Latex Fonts“<br><a href="https://www.draketo.de/anderes/latex-fonts" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.draketo.de/anderes/latex-fonts"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">www.draketo.de/anderes/latex-f</span><span class="invisible">onts</span></a></p><p>I created that page because I wanted to find the right font for a book and figured that I could publish the results.</p><p>⇒ always write what you care about. You just can’t know which of your articles will be important to others later on.</p><p>Do you see how much the feel of the book changes with the <a href="/tags/fonts/" rel="tag">#fonts</a>?

<p>Use locally installed fonts in the LaTeX Docker container by mounting your fonts directory to /usr/local/share/fonts, e.g.</p><p> docker --volume=/usr/share/fonts:/usr/local/share/fonts pandoc/latex …</p><p>Should work with XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX PDF engines as well as with the &quot;typst&quot; container.</p><p><a href="/tags/pandoc/" rel="tag">#pandoc</a> <a href="/tags/texlatex/" rel="tag">#TeXLaTeX</a> <a href="/tags/typst/" rel="tag">#typst</a> <a href="/tags/fonts/" rel="tag">#fonts</a> <a href="/tags/docker/" rel="tag">#docker</a></p>

I spent some time debugging a font rendering issue after recent fontconfig changes on Linux.<br><br>At first I thought fontconfig itself was &quot;broken&quot;, but after testing multiple setups I realized the issue was mostly related to how Iosevka behaved with the newer font matching/rendering changes.<br><br>Issue/MR related to this:<br><a href="https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/fontconfig/-/work_items/522" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="gitlab.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/fontconfig/-/work_items/522"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">gitlab.freedesktop.org/fontcon</span><span class="invisible">fig/fontconfig/-/work_items/522</span></a><br><a href="https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/fontconfig/-/merge_requests/520" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="gitlab.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/fontconfig/-/merge_requests/520"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">gitlab.freedesktop.org/fontcon</span><span class="invisible">fig/fontconfig/-/merge_requests/520</span></a><br><br>The funny part is that this ended up helping me discover a new font family:<br>IoskeleyMono (<a href="https://github.com/ahatem/IoskeleyMono" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>github.com/ahatem/IoskeleyMono</a>)<br><br>After testing it in:<br><br><p>st<br>dwm<br>Firefox<br>Senpai IRC<br>Geany<br>websites/forums</p>the rendering and spacing ended up being MUCH better for my workflow, especially the &quot;Term&quot; variant.<br><br>Sometimes a small issue sends you in the right direction 🙂<br><br>I liked it so much that I already prepared and submitted a SlackBuild.<br><br>Huge thanks to the developers working on fontconfig and font rendering. People usually only notice this work when something changes, but good typography and font matching matter a lot on a daily desktop system.<br><br><a href="/tags/x11/" rel="tag">#x11</a> <a href="/tags/fontconfig/" rel="tag">#fontconfig</a> <a href="/tags/fonts/" rel="tag">#fonts</a> <a href="/tags/slackware/" rel="tag">#slackware</a> <a href="/tags/ioskeleymono/" rel="tag">#ioskeleymono</a><br><br>

<p>I just finished the Pepper&amp;Carrot new page for sharing our Fonts!<br>A decade ago, libre comic fonts were hard to find, especially with good accent support. So, translators, contributors and I edited and maintained our own to fill the gap.</p><p>Check them out: <a href="https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/fonts/index.html" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.peppercarrot.com/en/fonts/index.html"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">www.peppercarrot.com/en/fonts/</span><span class="invisible">index.html</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/fonts/" rel="tag">#fonts</a></p>

<p>I haven’t used Times New Roman since 2008 but I still see it pop up in the wild every now and again. So I made an explainer video about why you should stop using it and what you should use instead. <a href="/tags/typographynerd/" rel="tag">#TypographyNerd</a> </p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmZRr4GZcIY" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmZRr4GZcIY"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmZRr4</span><span class="invisible">GZcIY</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/typography/" rel="tag">#typography</a> <a href="/tags/fonts/" rel="tag">#fonts</a> <a href="/tags/timesnewroman/" rel="tag">#TimesNewRoman</a></p>

<p>If you want to create professional <a href="/tags/fonts/" rel="tag">#fonts</a>, there’s nothing better than using @FreeCAD and exporting to <a href="/tags/svg/" rel="tag">#SVG</a>. The <a href="/tags/cad/" rel="tag">#CAD</a> Sketcher component in <a href="/tags/blender/" rel="tag">#Blender</a> doesn’t work great on my PC, but it’s still a solid option. <a href="/tags/fontforge/" rel="tag">#FontForge</a> <a href="/tags/b3d/" rel="tag">#b3d</a></p>

<p>[Video] Bored of Arial, Helvetica, Liberation Sans, and Nimbus Sans – the default, neutral, sans serif fonts that came preinstalled with your word processor?</p><p>I made a video about the four free and four paid fonts I recommend you try instead. </p><p>What are your go-to neutral-ish sans serif fonts that aren&#x27;t just clones of Helvetica? </p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_l_W6G5ruM" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_l_W6G5ruM"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_l_W6</span><span class="invisible">G5ruM</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/typography/" rel="tag">#typography</a> <a href="/tags/fonts/" rel="tag">#fonts</a></p>

<p>The question I have for <a href="https://monaspace.githubnext.com" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>monaspace.githubnext.com</a> is: Was this developed and tested with Asian scripts in mind as well, or just Latin-based? 😉</p><p><a href="/tags/fonts/" rel="tag">#Fonts</a> <a href="/tags/monaspace/" rel="tag">#Monaspace</a></p>

<p>I am not a web designer. I was, at one point, a pretty good web admin. I know mostly server back end stuff from before things like NodeJS took off. I know some PHP and CSS and I am very comfortable with a WHM Cpanel server. </p><p>I say all of this to say, when I make websites I use templates. (Usually free, some paid) and I have recently started going to all of the sites I own and manage and working to ensure they don&#x27;t have google fonts. This is just another way google is tracking who is doing what when they have no business doing so. </p><p>so I implore you web people of the world, DITCH THE GOOGLE FONTS!</p><p><a href="/tags/degoogle/" rel="tag">#degoogle</a> <a href="/tags/privacy/" rel="tag">#privacy</a> <a href="/tags/fonts/" rel="tag">#fonts</a> <a href="/tags/webdesign/" rel="tag">#webdesign</a></p>
