Monofurx : the monospace font

A modification to the monospace font MONOFUR

• Q: How to use or download?

• A: Copy *.otf to the system fonts folder or use fonts management tools to install.

This is a modification version of the monofur font, tooled with Font Forge.

The original monofur font is a monospaced version of font EuroFurence

I like this font much, but there're still optimizing spaces:

The mainly modifications are the heavier-weighted puncutations dots;

and a little funny part: the ASYMMETRIC brackets-pairs just for fun, and feel free to make them normally symmetric if you don't like them.

this modded-fonts ONLY includes ASCII glyphs, please notice this! if you want other glyphs diplayed, just copy other glyphs out from folder 'src/original_ver_of_monofur_fonts' with the software 'FONTFORGE', or you could use other fonts as fallback.

tips: delete the old versioned monofux fonts manually completely from the system font directory, or there might be some errors for some software to select the correct versioned font/s, e.g, pycharm on windows 10

Completely new made!

All 95 GLYPHs are re-adjusted:

All aspect ratio set to gold ratio related(1.618, 0.618, etc.)

Stronger and sharper contrast between different parts of a glyph, such as the upper part and the lower part of a glyph.

13. add auto hint
14. change some glyphs such as 'bullet'(U+2022) to the right character

16. Change the Italic Angle of "monof56.ttf" , from (15°) to monofurx-italic.ttf's (-15°)
17. Clean up some ambiguous quote marks.
