I haven't compared on OSX, but on Windows 7 in several apps using the default font rendering API (SQL Server Management Studio, Sublimetext, etc) the capital G for Meslo LG S seems too tall compared to the other letters.
See the screenshot.

Hi Andre,

Meslo is awesome! Do you think it would be possible to make a variation with the number 0 from the Mensch Menlo derivative font? The only thing that bugs me about Menlo is the zero, and Mensch has a nice one with a dot in the middle: http://robey.lag.net/2010/06/21/mensch-font.html

If you don't want to/don't have the time, would you share the adapted sources and explain what applications/tools you use for editing?

Thanks,
Best,
Thomas

The image links on the screenshots pages are down. Maybe host them on Github?

When I set BBedit to use Meslo LG M, tabs characters show. They are not the usual BBEdit ones, either:

This does not happen with Menlo or any other font.

Because why not?

as below:

seems menlo has the same problem, I am not sure this is a bug or feature.

The bold version of the dotted zero is to large.

Here is a screenshot (gedit on Windows 7)

Ligature are awesome for text reading but when you are in a terminal or when you are drawing it can be cumbersome, so Meslo is a font for terminals and programmers then they don't need ligatures I beleve.

Using regedit.exe go to the following registry key

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Console\TrueTypeFont

On Windows 10

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Console\TrueTypeFont

Windows never had such a key:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT

If you got it from MSDN, there is a misprint.

This seems to be causing corruption for me.

I'm using this font on Windows, Webstorm.

I have the word 'ItemNo' in my code, and the space between 'mN' is... basically not there

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Console\TrueTypeFont

I have tried logging out as well as rebooting and the fonts will not show up in the console (cmd.exe)

Hello,
the following positions in v1.2.1 italic fonts

U+04CB CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER KHAKASSIAN CHE
U+04CC CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER KHAKASSIAN CHE

have glyphs that should be at

U+04F6 CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER GHE WITH DESCENDER
U+04F7 CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER GHE WITH DESCENDER

and vice versa. This only affects italic versions (S, M, L, both normal and DZ). Regular, bold and bold italics are correct.
Thanks.

When I use Meslo LG M in Sublime Text 2 or Eclipse Indigo on Windows 7, there are some combinations of letters that aren't rendered as fixed-width. I asked the Sublime Text 2 developers & they are using the normal Windows font rendering API.

Here's some example text that displays this behavior. The pipes don't line up.

Hi
This is a small thing but one which really urks me - the dash '-' and greater than '>' symbols are not centered vertically with respect to each other, making the arrow '->' look broken. Observe:
http://ibin.co/1dedpgVExjHG

The fat arrow looks great, could you please adjust the thin one? Whether you move the dash down or the angle up is entirely up to you.

Much obliged.

I appreciate this could be a big job. I'm using this font in a project called http://jsbin.com and I have someone asking. However, I know that JS Bin is used around lots of different countries, so I guess there's some decent demand there?

Hi,

Is it possible to make the box-drawing characters connected vertically: e.g.

┌─────────────┐
│             │
│             │
└─────────────┘

Could you please add thiner fonts as well as Regular?

Hello, I have tried 3 times on three different occasions to download the zip archive I even cloned the repo but to no success. Is th archive broken. Please confirm.

Hello!

I am interested in the process because I want to apply it to other fonts I use. Would you be so kind as to share the process?

Thank you very much.

I'm trying to use Meslo in a terminal app that requires a fixed-width font, but when I choose Meslo, it's claiming the font isn't fixed-width. I thought that was odd so I launched Font Book on the Mac and sure enough, when I choose to see "fixed width fonts" it doesn't appear in the list, but Meslo is there when I choose "all fonts."

I'm a Mac power user but not a developer, so I'm not sure what's going on, but I'm GUESSING there's a flag in the font that says "I'm a fixed-width font" and it's just not properly set in the font.

Let me know if there's any other info I can provide. Love the font and the thinking that went into it, and would love to use it in my terminal app.

best
Eric

Several characters spacing is off when set to bold. So far I've only tested on Windows 7 but I have no evidence for or against it being a windows-only problem. In particular, m and 0 are too wide and 4 is too narrow. I've only tested a-z and 0-9 so there could also be problems with upper case or with various symbols. I hope it can be fixed because I really like this font and I've found I like it even better in bold.

Hi!

I'm not that knowledgeable about fonts but I really like Meslo and would like to see the extra(?) glyphs used by Powerline added by default (as is the case with the font "Pragmata Pro"). There is a "fontpatcher" available to do the job but it doesn't cut it.

Very happy with the font.

Any ideas why?

It's my favorite stylistic aspect of Menlo (and the thing that bothers me the most about e.g. Bitstream Vera Sans Mono).

Letter 'm' written in size 10 (bold face) becomes just black square.

Example:

Can you implement it (or bold face) more distinguishable?

Loving the different line gaps, but I was hoping for something about half-way between default Menlo and Meslo LG S. Textmate seems to add a little more leading to regular Menlo which is just about the amount I like. Meslo LG S is huge in comparison (Sublime Text w/ Meslo LG S on left and Textmate with Menlo on right): http://cl.ly/17400O3o0n2k083E131W

See https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode
As for the font itself, the legibility of Meslo LG M DZ Regular is arguably far better than the one of FiraCode Retina. FiraCode has too much weight, too little line-height and too many serif-elements. However, FiraCodes ligatures are very nice, indeed.

FiraCode Retina 14pt

Meslo LG DZ Regular 13pt

This is in no way a bug, but it's one of the things that bothers me about using menlo, so for me it would be a great addition:

In menlo, they made the em dash, the en dash and the regular dash the full character width, which makes it impossible to tell them apart. This is particularly problematic in HTML where you've taken a block of text from somewhere and you need to format it.

It would be spectacularly awesome if you could revert these chars back to the deja-vu version where there was some visual differentiation.

This is a great font and the world certainly needs more great monospaced fonts. Have you considered getting it listed on Google Web Fonts? You can submit it here:
