PragmataPro 0.829: Curly Git tree and new essential glyphs

2021-05-14

This version coming from my experience as web developer.
Often I exchanged colon (:) with semicolon (;) and sometime I had the suspect that L lowercase can be more distinguished using a new design. After this redesign I can work now more sure to avoid misinterpretations.

Redesign dollar l colon eszett in PragmataPro 0.829

— Curly slash and backslash in Git tree command line

It’s possible to enable it using Pragmata Pro™ with OpenType Stylistic Set 13 named ‘git tree’.
Every slash and backslash, at specific conditions, will appears with curly terminations even with Italic versions.
From now coders can see a more nice Git tree in their command line editor

PragmataPro 0.827: a giant running like a cheetah!

2018-09-05

PragmataPro 0.827 loading time, a giant running like a cheetahWith 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

PragmataPro C++ and Java reserved keywords kerned with GPOS table

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

Pragmata Pro Enclosed Alphanumerics

In all the weights of all the versions.

 

 

— Enabled Hebrew Nikkud

Pragmata Pro 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

PragmataPro sample of letters combined with marksMarks  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

— Regular: improved TrueType hinting of → ← ↑ ↓ # { } / \

— Regular: improved the consistency between Mathematical Operators and Miscellaneous Technical set

— Bold, Italic and Bold Italic: added IPA characters and its extensions

— all weights: typing us after numbers and space will appears microsecond µs in serif variant

PragmataPro 0.826 Ligatures in mono version? Why not!

2017-08-18

After many requests, I decided to change the font files structure of PragmataPro:

 

New font files structure since PragmataPro 0.826

The PragmataPro complete pack includes two folders: Fonts with ligatures and Fonts without ligatures
Both folders includes two kind of fonts grouped as Modularspaced and Monospaced.

The goal is to fit the need to have Modularspaced fonts without ligatures, Monospaced fonts with ligatures.
Two situations impossible to get before.

 

— New ligatures for R language and C#

Now the entire set of ligatures has reached 177 for every weight (Regular, Bold, Italic and Bold Italic)!

 

PragmataPro 0.826 new ligatures

 

 

 

— Harmonized APL symbols

Thanks to the help of abrudz now PragmataPro has more consistent APL symbols

 

PragmataPro 0.826 APL symbols

 

 

— Minor improvements:

— Regular and Italic: improved the TrueType hinting

— all weights: ligatures are now more compatible with IDEs like IntelliJ IDEA

PragmataPro 0.825 – more pros!

2017-05-02

Thanks to the numerous suggestions arrived, PragmataPro now is even a more complete professional typeface:

 

— Added Extra Bow Drawing symbols suggested by Dmtri Nesteruk

Some month ago Dmtri Nesteruk wrote me an email with a sketched good idea: to add a bullet to some used box drawing glyphs. The result is very interesting! By now  also a lot of graphic designers can be rethink the use of box drawing.

 

Milano Metro map text only

The entire map of the metro of Milan I redesigned using this exclusive box drawing method

Milano Metro map text only

Perfect also for text only diagramsdiagram using PragmataPro box drawing extra

 

 

— Added [FIXME] [TODO] [BUG] [NOTE] [HACK] [MARK] ligatures to emphasize important messages in command line

After all these notifications I suppose now has all the command line messages emphasized

Pragmata Pro command line messages ligatures

 

 

— Added all the icons of Nerd font

Nerd font contents a lot icons useful to Vim users. More info: http://nerdfonts.com/

nerd fonts combined with pragmatapro font

 

 

— Regular: improved the design of the entire Fullwidth and Halfwidth letters

PragmataPro can interact more better with other CJK fonts.

pragmatapro fullwidth alphabet

 

 

— Minors improvements:

— Regular: added power symbols to Miscellaneous Technical set

— all weights: improved the TrueType hinting above all for Microsoft Windows

— all weights: added :<: :>: ligatures for Scala

— all weights: added :) :-) :( :-( :D :P :3 ligatures for text chatting

PragmataPro 0.822 – the silent revolution

2016-03-14

PragmataPro font v_0.822

There are a lot of changes in the version 0.822 of PragmataPro:

 

➊ Perfect integration with CJK fonts and Emoji

All the glyphs are been scaled to exactly 0.5 em² wide (= 1024-unit em) so they are compatible with CJK (Chinese/Japanese/Korean) characters, where every character are exactly 1 em² wide (= 2048 unit)

PragmataPro integration with CJK monospaced fonts

 

 

➋ All the arrows, planned by Unicode until now, are been designed

PragmataPro is now the first modular/monospaced font of the history that includes all these arrows.
You can see all from my Github repository named ‘Arrow Finder’

Arrows of PragmataPro displayed by pointing orientation

 

 

➌ Towards completion of Math support

It’s been improved the design of U+2200 – U+22FF Mathematical Operators set
added the U+2980 – U+29FF Misc. Mathematical Symbols-B set
added the U+2A00 – U+2AFF Supplemental Math Operators set
under the precious supervision of Pierre Le Marre

PragmataPro improved thanks by Pierre Le Marre annotations

 

 

➍ New ligatures for functional programming languages

The design of ligatures that includes < and > is changed
Added a lot of new ligatures to improve the programming in Haskell, Scala, Swift … in all the weights available
