lilex's Issues

Strange outline of cyrillic capital Ы (042B) (and more)

With Lilex 1.000 and 1.100 the 042B of Medium looked wrong.

Lilex 1.000 Regular (left) and Medium (right)

With 2.000 the Medium weight has been dropped and so this is not really an issue anymore. The other two weights look ok.

Out of curiosity I opened the 2.000 VF in Glyphs, and there still seems to be a problem, hiding:

And indeed, you prepare a Medium instance (which I honestly would include in the static release as I guess it will be missed).

After File -> Generate Instances we see the error is still there:

And then... just looking on the created Thin and ExtraLight instances, they have rather ... strange E F H H bar etc glyphs? The static instances in the release look ok, though.

So this might or might not be an issue. Just to inform you of my findings.

The === ligature is not the same height as the => ligature or vice versa

Makefile is good

... but the dependency on must use venv not so much. Quickly looking at the Makefile, it should be possible to
build the font without venv from source. Would you accept such patches? (Asking because well then I might want to create a Debian package of the font)

Permanently enable features

Hey, is there a way I can build this font while permanently enabling features on it? I want to use it in an editor where it seems as if I cannot access the variants offered through it's configuration. So would it be possible to turn them from toggle-able features to always-on features of the built TTF?

Thanks for your help and for putting together this great font in general.

`subprocess.Popen` should be passed full paths to executables

Build custom variants directly in the web interface

This has been made easier for those who want to use alternatives, but don't want to bother with installing Python and project dependencies.

The font is lacking Greek characters, as opposed to a picture in the README

I'm using Nerd-patched Lilex and it doesn't have Greek letters in it: couldn't find them in Gucharmap, and dwm's rendering shows me that the font lacks these glyphs (it draws glyphs from non-default fonts in a smaller size).

I wondered if that's an issue on the Nerd's side, but no: the test page also shows that the font lacks Greek letters

The => ligature is rendered incorrectly when used "Medium" weight

The => ligature is rendered incorrectly when using "Medium" weight. I see it on Win11.
Here is example:

Connect the gap between `|` and `>` in |> and <|

Just a feature request of "improving"

Typo in image

Thanks for your work on this excellent typeface!

There is a small typo in [email protected]

cv06 should be labelled as Alt tilde, not Alt tilda.

Ligatures not working

Currently no ligatures appear for me in my code.

Update: I hadn't enabled ligatures in vscode, my bad.

Typo in Lilex Medium

Hey 👋🏻 really like this font, I'm using it on my website!

Just wanted to highlight that somewhere in your project you've got the medium weight misspelled as "Meduim" which is getting built out to Lilex-Meduim.ttf, and in font pickers, Lilex Meduim.

From a quick search of the repo, it looks like it's in Lilex.gylphs, line 126344.

Add preview on pull-request

It would be convenient to see the result of the font build directly in pull-request. Ideally in the preview interface

Support italic style from IBM Plex Mono

I really like the italic style from IBM Plex Mono. Can we have it in Lilex?

What version of python?

What version of python should I use?

ß character improved readability for german text

I'd like to suggest to improve the ß characters readability.
In the german language it's a common letter and the currect character design hurts readability a lot.
The attached image is a comparison of Lilex and Monospace.

Plans for a new version to be in sync with newer Plex Mono?

Any plans to release a new version to be more in sync with IBM Plex Mono? There have been some recent releases to use as a source: https://github.com/IBM/plex/releases

Method to obtain OTF formats for Windows users

I don't know exactly if building the font in Windows is on the roadmap, but for the current update, there is no method of obtaining .otf formats of the font for features such as ligatures.
