Thanks for yor comments as well and good luck with the project!Īlas, font licensing, creation, hinting, etc. make them wider, like in CourierĪlso note that inter-line spacing affects readability, it would be nice to have an option to adjust the line spacing. center all signs to lowercase (>make it slightly bolder (doing it properly in vector actually is long and painful story).So if I would do the job, I'd do following: But regardless, glyph proportions are too wide, and the design is on the 'grotesque' side which makes it less readable than SimSun. I feel it is initially designed for monospace usage. It has slightly better glyph spacing (see "i", "l"). And most signs are centered to caps instead of being centers to lowercase letters, which is a drawback. glyhps "i", "l", "t" should have been morphed to cover more space, like in Courier. It has better glyph proportions, Times-like (a bit narrowed, which is a plus) and details, but there are some glyphs not optimized for the monospace usage, e.g.
Though, both have common issue - originated from print typefaces, thus appear too thin on screen (unless theres some tricky hinting). In terms of readability, best monospaced font (preinstalled with Windows) I've seen so far is SimSun. Started using the Terminal recently and came across this interesting discussion, just want to insert my opinions.
