Or if you use arch linux you can get it here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ttf-ibm-plex-git/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ttf-ibm-plex-git/ (I have to change as now it downloads the whole repo as it used to be in a giant repo with no release.)

Any idea why they recommend TrueType over TrueType? Is that a general recommendation, or something specific to this typeface? Edit: From BoldMonday's comment in issue 103: "TrueTypes can be - and in the case of IBM Plex are - specifically hinted for screen. OpenTypes with PostScript outlines are not able to do that."

  FWIW: "Increasing resolutions and new approaches to screen rendering have reduced the requirement of extensive TrueType hinting. Apple's rendering approach on macOS ignores almost all the hints in a TrueType font, while Microsoft's ClearType ignores many hints, and according to Microsoft, works best with 'lightly hinted' fonts."[1] Also, OTF is required for advanced typography features. Given that TrueType hinting is mostly ignored, OTF is generally a better choice.
