did you get the message with the link of the repo? also, there could be a "new" written beside the name of recently added fonts, for when people comeback to see what's new.
Hey that’s a really good idea actually!

Ah, nice! It's called psudoFont Liga Mono and you can find on Github or just google it. It's based on Meslo and Lilex with a few twists, but it turned out to be its own font family. I took what I liked about each and added some extra! Thanks!
Got it, thanks! Looks good :)
selfdestructposts asked:
How do I submit a new programming font for evaluation? What's needed to put a new font on the list? Thanks!
Just let me know what it’s called and where I can find it! You’re also welcome to open an issue in the repo: https://github.com/braver/programmingfonts

Annotation Mono is a "lovingly crafted handwriting-style monospace font."

That’s so awesome, I added it to the site immediately! 🎉
georgevreilly asked:
I'd like to request that you add some more characters to the "similar" string. For example, although I mostly like B612 Mono, I will not use it because of the similarity of different brackets: square brackets and parentheses are much too alike.

There are additional suggestions at https://realpython.com/coding-font/#differentiation
Gotcha, some good suggestions in there!
georgevreilly asked:
There are some fonts at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_monospaced_typefaces that you don't have, such as Wumpus Mono.
Thanks! Somehow there seem to be a few in there I didn’t know about yet! 😆

A fairly pretty courier mono font has shown up on Hacker News. Old Timey Code and Old Timey Mono Fonts. it has a dedicated code variant. It be worth a look?
Thanks for the heads up, I’ll add it ASAP!
johndehope3 asked:
The good folks at the Braille Institute have released a new monospace version of their previously only-sans-serif font Atkinson Hyperlegible. Maybe every single monospace font isn't a programming font, but I thought I'd mention it.
That’s really cool, thanks for letting me know!
stgiga asked:
UnifontEX now has Unicode 15.1 support, so maybe you should update the copy in your repo?
Done ✅ Thanks for the update!
johndehope3 asked:
Would you consider curating a list of sans fonts that follow "A Guide to Understanding What Makes a Typeface Accessible"? I find that I spend as much time in technical writing as I do in programming, and I need as many sans fonts for that as I do mono fonts. Thanks for the great work you do!
That would be a massive undertaking. This article explains it well enough. I can’t though, in a practical sense, test all ~100+ mono fonts on the website against their checklist, and that still ignores several other aspects of accessibility. The reader needs to be included in this: what’s accessible to a novice reader impairs advanced readers. And to be sure about anything you need to test with real people. This is a complex and fascinating field, but entirely out of scope of the website. But the site should help you review fonts for accessibility, and hopefully we can make you find the perfect font for your use cases that way.
stgiga asked:
I did an anonymous ask, but since it seems a bit out of the blue I'm using my account. Could you add UnifontEX (my heavy improvement of GNU Unifont) to the list?
Hey, nice work! It has been added 👍🏻
Anonymous asked:
Is it possible to add more filters to the website's list of fonts? I think it'd be handy to be able to filter (or sort) by year, for example.
Hey, that’s a great idea! Different kinds of sorting would definitely be handy. 👍🏻
Anonymous asked:
Can you add commitmono?
YES WE CAN!
Anonymous asked:
Iosevka's been updated! It looks far better than before and has stylistic sets imitating many other popular programming fonts. There's also a slab serif version.
Thanks! Updated ✅

Can you add also this font please (heterodox mono), I would paste the link but this form wont allow it, so it is on github: at hckiang/font-new-heterodox-mono
