This would resolve #5 more easily.

Trying to build the package on Arch Linux fails with this error.

U+3013 GETA MARK. It is a Japanese symbol used to replace characters that cannot be read during
transcription of manuscripts (source: Japanese Wikipedia). Can be used alongside other languages too 〓.

This needs a better solution soon. Using the main font as a fallback to tewi2a appears to be broken in at least urxvt currently. Would also be used for the v2 variant, which is currently in a branch.

Ideas

Override glyphs in the main fonts by merging into new font files. Either

• bloat the repo by commiting every possible combination of variants
• include the generated files in release tarballs and make releases once in a while
• make users generate them at build time (requires a common language or annoying dependencies)

These all have cons (to me). If anyone can think of a better solution I would be grateful.

I know about bdf2psf tool but have problem with converting:

bdf2psf --fb Tewi-normal-11.bdf /usr/share/bdf2psf/standard.equivalents /usr/share/bdf2psf/useful.set 512 Tewi-normal-11.psf

/usr/bin/bdf2psf: Tewi-normal-11.bdf: the width is not integer number.

any advice? Thanks.

this can be generated by merge.py now

for example, ㏑ or ▶

Compare:

-10 # normal hyphen (U+002D)

−10 # Minus U+2212

-− You can see one is generally narrower and vertically at a different position.

Would really like to be able to tell them apart. Thanks!

would be nice to get some help with this

might be nice

hello;
is tewi only single sized? it works the best with 10 and 11 is its normal size. the other sized aren't rendering good.

Can we have ttf format available too? i would love to use it over my osx :3

My choice of terminal (suckless st) doesn't seem to have box drawing characters (e.g. toilet -f future or gradient chars (██▓▒░), and I like this font quite a bit.

The only two fonts which I've seen that provide these characters are leggie (except without the characters for toilet -f future), and Metis.

It'd be quite nice if they were added to Tewi.

Hi, first: this font is awesome, thanks!

But i have an issue with this font. the letter 'a' looks like its misplaced (see screenshot).

My Xresources contains the following:
[code]
URxvt_font: -lucy-tewi2a-medium-r-normal--11-90-75-75-p-58-iso10646-1
URxvt_boldFont: -lucy-tewi2a-bold-r-normal--11-90-75-75-p-58-iso10646-1
URxvt_italicFont: -lucy-tewi2a-medium-r-normal--11-90-75-75-p-58-iso10646-1
URxvt_bolditalicFont: -lucy-tewi2a-bold-r-normal--11-90-75-75-p-58-iso10646-1
[/code]

I'm trying in a 1080p screen, get some icons... I ran glyphs, and copy the content over another editor so I can be sure about the font, but the icon is minuscule :(. And therefore, I can't be sure how can I copy it.

Maybe something like this could be useful?

Thanks for your font :)

Maybe I'm just retarded but when I try to get it to print all the glyphs I get this:

bash glyphs.sh:
grep: : No such file or directory

I really like Tewi, but the font size is too small for my bad eyes. Can we get other sizes?

What kind of color scheme is used in the screenshot?

https://camo.githubusercontent.com/f27cba2c2909c25902747d3c8252c1eb937ee5bb/68747470733a2f2f7075752e73682f61763337692f356431353264373637362e706e67

https://sourceforge.net/projects/freetype/files/freetype2/2.10.0/ - FreeType now uses the `defaultChar' property of PCF fonts to set the glyph for the undefined character at glyph index 0 (as FreeType already does for all other supported font formats). As a consequence, the order of glyphs of a PCF font if accessed with FreeType can be different now compared to previous versions.

I thought this font would be too small, but it is readable by its design, and I the more I use it, the more I like the choices made.
Perfectly aligned semigraphic characters, large dots, verify wide coverage... I love this font!

I enjoy making fonts (miniwi), and I may have some time to contribute some day. Some hints about the software or workflow you use?

[EDIT]: Ugly typos

Since 2.0.1, python3 is required (and is mentioned in the README by the next commit), but the shebang in scripts/merge.py could be a bit more clear. On my system, for example, python happens to be python2, so make fails, but specifying #!/usr/bin/env python3 in merge.py fixes this.

Aur package is broken. You need to start form lowercase 't' instead of 'T'.

package() {
    cd "$srcdir/$_gitname"
    install -T -Dm644 "COPYING" "$pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/COPYING"
    install -d -m755 "$pkgdir/usr/share/fonts/misc/"
    install -m644 -t "$pkgdir/usr/share/fonts/misc/" \
        "tewi-bold-11.bdf" "tewi-normal-11.bdf" \
        "tewi2a-bold-11.bdf" "tewi2a-normal-11.bdf"
}
