Wow screenshots of text rendered on a notoriously bad text renderer, then downscaled and posted in a blog. A text-based description of the fonts might be worse, but only barely.
Yeah, man, so much effort and every screenshot looks identical in context in the blog post.
Iosevka and Iosevka-Comfy for the win.
- rzzzt 4y agoClick on the images to embiggen.
- CyberDildonics 4y agoYou probably meant 'enlarge'. "Embiggen" was made up by the simpsons as a joke.
- throwanem 4y agoIt's a perfectly cromulent word.
- sorokod 4y agoIn the same episode as that other word - amazing
- rzzzt 4y agoMe fail English? That's unpossible!
- timbray 4y agoAnyone can embiggen me any time they want.
- emptybits 4y agoAll words in use today were made up at some point and then accepted through popular use. Merriam-Webster accepted this one into their dictionary some years ago.[1] And Dictionary.com acknowledges it may have been published previously in 1884 by C.A. Ward as an example of a barbarous verb.[2][3] [1] https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/embiggen https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/embiggen [2] https://www.dictionary.com/browse/embiggen https://www.dictionary.com/browse/embiggen [3] https://academic.oup.com/nq/article-abstract/s6-X/242/135/4389948?redirectedFrom=fulltext https://academic.oup.com/nq/article-abstract/s6-X/242/135/43...
- chungy 4y agoYou understood the meaning well enough, which is the purpose of a word. Perhaps you need to embiggen your perspective.
- TimTheTinker 4y agoI tried Iosevka but it felt too much like the bitmap ROM fonts on old computers and terminals. All those fonts were a little too pixel-dense.
- bitwize 4y agoThat may be why it -- and Envy Code R -- are the only "modern" monospace fonts I can stand for very long. Everything else just looks like IBM Letter Gothic, or some other typewriter vendor's substitute for Letter Gothic. Hence why I use bitmap or bitmap-like fonts for terminals.
