"Office Code Pro is a customized version of Source Code Pro... The customizations were made specifically for text editors and coding environments, ..." Interesting, a customized version of a "Source Code" font enhanced for coding and named "Office Code". Am I reading that right?

  Assuming the name was changed because "Source" is the reserved font name in the SIL Open Font License.

  Yeah, it's a slightly (but noticeably) tweaked variation of Adobe's Source Code Pro font.

Thanks for this, it seems nice. I've been using SCP for quite a while and this looks like a nice enough improvement to make me switch. I like the inclusion of the Powerline symbols and the tweaks I've noticed to the glyphs and spacing.

  This isn't my repo, only posted it, but I agree with your observations. The subtleties really make this great.

Is this using the "beta" italic that Adobe have been working on, or something else? https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-code-pro/issues/6 https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-code-pro/issues/6

Any image showing the diff between this and Source Code Pro? (The "preview" in the README doesn't actually work.)

If you're trying to get this to work in a Java IDE on OSX (IDEA/PhpStorm for me) the only way I could get real italics to work was to put the TTF (not OTF) fonts into /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/lib/fonts Obviously this path will be different if you've changed your IDE to use a different JRE, but they seem to need to live in the Java home lib/fonts directory otherwise they aren't treated right. I also had to pick the medium weight because regular rendered like light. The font situation with Java on OSX seems very strange.

It's wonderful to see the improvement on SourceCode Pro font. Can I have a request? Is there any possible to include font awesome (https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome) because of this under terminal? (https://github.com/arialdomartini/oh-my-git https://github.com/arialdomartini/oh-my-git). Currently my setup on both OSX and Linux is using SourceCode Pro with Powerline Plus Awesome font from here (https://github.com/gabrielelana/awesome-terminal-fonts/tree/patching-strategy https://github.com/gabrielelana/awesome-terminal-fonts/tree/...). Honestly my setting is too complicated I think.
