Jgs Font
- dalton01 2y agoClicked every button. Maybe the most aesthetically pleasing website I've seen in a while
- rvnx 2y agoThis website feels oddly relaxing, like if stuck in the 90s.

- emrikol 2y agoI haven't thought about Joan in years. I used to frequent the ASCII art newsgroups in the late 90s as a teenager. I hope wherever they are, they are doing well knowing that they are a tiny bit of Internet history.
- ChrisArchitect 2y agoAdel wrote a nice little article about the ASCII art history and the font here: https://velvetyne.fr/news/about-ascii-art-and-jgs-font/ https://velvetyne.fr/news/about-ascii-art-and-jgs-font/
- KevinDonnot 2y agoYes, excellent paper! It’s to great to see a (free-libre-open source) foundry like Velvetyne also contributing to research.
- dur-randir 2y agoFonts files fail some 'system validation' on Mac for me. Does anyone know what's that about and how to fix it?

- letmeinhere 2y agoHow are some of the jgs9 glyphs perfectly smooth? e.g the infinity symbol
- doodpants 2y agoI assume that those are placeholders for characters not yet present in the font?
- lelandfe 2y agoIn Chrome Dev Tools, we can inspect those glyphs by scrolling to the bottom of the Computed styles tab. The sibling commenter is correct: they don't exist in the font yet, and are falling back to the browser default: https://i.imgur.com/nq8Qdct.png https://i.imgur.com/nq8Qdct.png

- MitPitt 2y agoI think this is an awesome font for Dwarf Fortress in particular
- rickcarlino 2y agoDoes anyone know what happened to jgs?
- username923409 2y agoare the fonts very green at 1x size (setting at the top) for anyone else? for an extreme example, the dense mesh pattern at the end of "continuous characters" is filled with light green instead of white on my display. just wondering if this is an artifact of my subpixel font antialiasing settings or if that's baked in...
