This is great if you don’t want the united states politicians to read it.
reduce the flourishes and/or add more spacing between lines and it would be a lot more readable.
Putting the “no” in zapfino
See the problem with this is that even if I write code with this font, I can’t force people to read it in this font.
Of course you can. Instead of committing the code to a repository, you just take screenshots of the everything and commit that instead.
Settle down Satan.
And then you program a runtime that calls an AI to parse images and execute your code in real-time!
Did they use sane or Windows-style newlines? Windows-style line endings are not supported everywhere.
Edit:
Variable-width handwriting is no longer considered a best practice and has been deprecated for some time. If the program did not compile with sane line endings, try rewriting the program in monospace, as support for legacy handwriting styles may have been dropped from non-LTS compiler releases.
Are you my coworkers?
You just said that somebody is in desperate need of a beating
Well, it’s not quite that bad, but it takes a special kind of person to send their very obviously visually impaired coworker screenshots instead of plaintext. And I know a few of them.
all code is written down in physical loose leaf notebooks
Hey that’s MY cursed python programming method… I wonder if I still have those books
Oh, so that’s what those Python notebooks are that I’ve heard people talk about!
Pretty sure you can use the 𝓾𝓷𝓲𝓬𝓸𝓭𝓮 𝓬𝓱𝓪𝓻𝓪𝓬𝓽𝓮𝓻𝓼
And then maybe you could use something like #define in C to map them back to valid characters? Not sure if there’s a good way to do that in other higher level languages.
You could always write your own program that runs before the compiler. Simple character replace for those unicodes to ascii
You can if you paste it into a write protected pdf
The only real way to write protect it is by printing the pdf into pdf (making it a pdf of an image).
I wonder if this font would screw up ocr?
Unless the OCR were made for this font, probably yes.
Many editors can read config files from a file in the repository itself. And oftentimes it has the highest priority. Just gotta know the IDE of your target and they have to click “trust this project”.
Just add it for VSCode and Jetbrains and you cover like 75-95% of devs

I’m just wondering how this happened
Ah cool, thanks
IBM Mono Plex >>> all other, especially this horrible mess
Fixed Fixedsys for life!!!
I really em want to makenit a reality, do anyone here know a 17th century antique monosace font?

Better start now, the US might need a new one soon. /s
A smart contract as the declaration of independence would be awesome though.

I use Comic Code. It’s not free, but it’s so whimsical.
For the curious, here is a similar but free font. https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans
Oh hey, someone else who uses Comic Code - greetings!
I remember when I first saw it, I laughed - and then it grew on me. Then it turned into “I can’t believe I am buying a derivation of comic sans” but it is actually a really nice monospaced font.
Only thing I didn’t like was having to figure out how to use Font Patcher to make a copy of it that supports nerd fonts, but it was a one and done process.
(I also don’t really like how it looks in my IDE the few times I find myself on Windows, but I don’t really blame the font for that one - looks perfect in the same IDE on Linux…)
How’d you do it?
Patching Comic Code? It was quite a while ago unfortunately, so I don’t have the exact commands available, but I used their Font Patcher tool in order to do so.
From what I recall, the tricky thing was actually getting the dependencies it required to be installed properly, Font Forge would be up and running but then the script’s errors indicated that it couldn’t resolve all of the necessary dependencies. Not sure what OS you’re on so your mileage may vary - but for Linux they now have an AppImage that looks to contain everything it needs, and for macOS/Windows if you have Docker available there also appears to be a pre-built container for it. There’s also quite a few examples that I don’t think were there when I used it, since I also recall not being 100% sure of what flags were needed to run it
JetBrains Mono to the top!
