Hey @Finii Thanks for opening this.
It does look like the next version of Cascadia with nerd fonts will make Delugia redundant. This project was, for me, always about automating the process of improving Cascadia for users Cacadia already has what we were adding to it we would serve our users best by redirecting them to the latest version of Cascadia.
Updating to the latest Nerd Fonts seems like something we should do in the meantime.

Delugia is the primarily my First Font . which also introduces me too NERD Font and font ligature.
so whenever i change Distro i always look for Delugia as font.
i primarly refrained from using Cascadia Code
as it was product of Microsoft.
heck even when i was using Window i was using Delugia only.
i won't be installing Cascadia Code
in any of my Distro . ( i just don't like Cascadia ).
i still do not know, how Font maintenace works. :-|
all i can say Delugia is one of the product which i been sticked to...
i look forward for what the maintainers decides.

Here a comparison matrix of versions
with ligatures | without ligatures | |
---|---|---|
Nerd Font | CaskaydiaCove NF | CaskaydiaMono NF |
Nerd Font Mono | Delugia CascadiaCodeNF CaskaydiaCove NFM |
DelugiaMono CascadiaMonoNF CaskaydiaMono NFM |
Nerd Font Propo | Delugia Book CaskaydiaCove NFP |
CaskaydiaMono NFP |
Further differences
- Delugia uses Cascadia's Poweline glyphs instead of Nerd Fonts'
- Caskaydia uses a special hinting step to make the letters look more like the CascadiaCove VF font (*)
All the work done with Delugia finally ended up in Nerd Fonts, so the differences are negligible now. I believe Delugia Book
was available before Nerd Fonts even had a Propo
variant, for example. Delugia was also the driver to several bug fixes in both Nerd Fonts and Fontforge.
I personally use Delugia as main font not only because of nostalgic reasons but also because I can wipe all 'Nerd Fonts' fonts from my system and still have a nice font installed, when I do Nerd Fonts development.
serve our users best by redirecting them to the latest version of Cascadia
In principle I guess that is the way. Except for the Book
variant, if that uses anybody still.
And then CascadiaCodeNF
is based on Nerd Fonts v3.1.1, and in the meantime we have v3.2.1 already ;-D
So this (Delugia) is still more bleeding edge than CascadiaCodeNF.
So the real question is rather: why have a Delugia when there is Caskaydia now?
Or: Why not 😬
(*) The Cascadia Code released fonts look different (in some applications) if you use the Cascadia Code variable font or the Cascadia Code static font version. The variable version (VF) is default installed with Windows Terminal and people often compare against that. The VF glyphs are hand-hinted while the static fonts just got ttfautohint
which does look different. So if we patch against the static release versions of Cascadia our font will always look different than the Cascadia VF...

I guess the auto-release feature could be activated again, at least all the workflow steps succeed again.
I did leave some message in the release notes, but probably the README should get some more hints about the three fonts and how to select what one wants.
