   So how to install it? Windows users are extremely lazy, they often just wait for a “click-and-run”.

   They are free and open-source. The latest VSCode has my code to fix CJK word wrapping (and Kinsoku Shori).

   Yes, you can assume, but existing applications, maybe written in 1990s even 1980s, won't. And there are millions of computers, maybe in important industrial companies, are still using them.

   They can implement an alternative driver to convert IO streams into API calls. And that's how libuv did.

   True story: Office maintained its API to be compatible with a plugin which its developer has already bankrupted, and its source code is lost. Because millions of US Government computers are still using them.

   However if you use WriteConsoleW, you can actually output both of the "€∑" in ANY code page. The NT console is a matrix of UTF-16 code points, and there is an API to write it. So the question becomes why Java (and many other platf

    I saw C:\windows\system32\bash AFAIK it is a clean-room implementation of Linux APIs. It is native.

    Most Chinese fonts contain more Han glyphs compared to Japanese, especially traditional. Most traditional Chinese fonts will have over 10,000 glyphs, while simplified are about 7,000. Many foundaries will create a even larger one, with over

    So let's guess, will Microsoft create a Windows-supporting fork, just like Redis?

    CoreFX has supported long paths as well as UNC paths recently. I'm just wondering when this improvement will be shipped.

    Well, Hack and many other fonts like SCP is a bit too wide for Asians, since they may mix source code with 文字 like this. That's why I made Iosevka [1]. [1]: http://be5invis.github.io/Iosevka/

    Thanks for your suggestion. I will fix it in v0.0.5

    My current goal is to make it WGL4 compatible. Powerline glyphs will be included later, though I can not test them since I am using VSCode.

    The outlines of every character are calculated by source code (the .patel files, compiles to JavaScript).

    I switched zepto.js to local directory and replaced $.getJSON with $.get (since .charmap may be sent as application/octet-stream). Is it fixed?

    My future work will be focused on spatial balance and glyph coverage. (I'd want to coverage ALL UNICODE POINTS of Latin/Greek/Cyrillic/IPA, thanks to the building script generating them will be much easier than using a c

    Mainly Pragmata Pro, and I brought some ideas form DIN and M+ 1m series. All glyphs are exactly 0.5em wide so they can be compatible with 中日韩文字 (CJK characters, where every character are excatly 1em wide).

    Nope, it compiles to JavaScript. The compiler is in http://github.com/be5invis/PatEL and it uses Patrisika ( http://github.com/be5invis/patrisika ) as its backend (which converts S-expression-ish AS

    Maybe it is just because WINAPI is different from *nix.
