With the help of @kelas and other good friends of Pragmata Pro from the open source community, version 0.827 comes with a brand new ligature substitution engine which is 10-20x faster than before, depending on the input.
Now Pragmata Pro, with its 9437 glyphs, can be loaded in a few µs.
Practically a giant who run like a cheetah!
— Java and C/C++ reserved keywords are now kerned
Pragmata Pro™ is the first monospaced typeface to offer precise glyph positioning in common programming keywords, enabled by default in editors that support OpenType GPOS table.
The consistency and orthogonality of fixed pitch is now combined with the finesse of a proportional font.
The result is less tiring, aesthetically pleasing coding experience.
Your eye will know the difference before you do.
— Added Enclosed Alphanumerics set
In all the weights of all the versions.
— Enabled Hebrew Nikkud
At the moment only in Regular versions. In the next releases the same marking system will be added to all the weights and also in Arabic alphabet.
— Added Markdown checklist ligatures
Markdown checklist ligatures are available enabling OpenType Stylistic Set 12 in your editor and are based on these combinations:
- [ ] - [-] - [v] - [x]
— Marks and accents are combinable with letters
Marks are often used in Phonetics texts and Mathematical formulas.
Since this version they are in their right place.
— Other improvements:
— all weights: problems with some terminal emulators have been resolved
— all weights: added these ligatures: |- turnstile like ||- double turnstile like _|_ bottom like =~= <-< >-> <--> <== <<== ==>>
— all weights: vertical position of * (asterisk) are aligned to x-height
I like emoji. I think them can help to communicate — quickly and — without barriers of languages. Probably I become old too soon but I don’t understand why emoji must be colorful and fill of small details above all when will be used at 9–14 pt size in every device. For me emoji must …
Three important reached goals and changes in the version 0.823 of PragmataPro: ➊ Completion of Math support! It seems impossible to me but it’s really happens ➋ Arabic alphabet improved PragmataPro now it’s more Kufi style to improve the readability at low sizes ➌ Hebrew alphabet improved and added important glyphs in the …
A Cambridge PhD student just broke every typography rule. And it works. His entire thesis: just 2 fonts. PragmataPro and Georgia. The pairing shouldn’t work. But somehow it’s perfect.
