This is a big one for me. None of the sample text had a capital O to compare to 0.
- captaincrisp 5y agoRecently I've noticed I have an issue distinguishing 8 from 0 with some dotted zero fonts. That'd be a nice one to see also.
- a_e_k 5y agoWhen I developed my own coding font (Luculent), the compact sample that I ultimately came up with was: // The five boxing wizards jump #include <stdio.h> // <= quickly. int main(int argc, char **argv) { float il1[]={1-2/3.4,5+6==7/8}; int OxFaced=0xBAD||"[{(CQUINE"; unsigned O0,l1,Z2,S5,G6,B8__XY; printf("@$Hamburgefo%c`",'\n'); return ~7&8^9?0:l1|!"j->k+=*w"; } It has a pangram, lots of confusable pairs of characters adjacent to each other, opening brackets next to each other and near a pipe character, quotes and commas next to each other, lining operators (i.e., ->, += and <=), and every normal punctuation character on a US keyboard. It also happens to be a valid, though useless, C or C++ program.
- Fwirt 5y agoThanks for the name drop! Luculent looks like a nice font that checks all the boxes. I'd like to see it added to this project as well.
