New font: iA Writer

[xasx]

There's a beautiful free font out there, called iA Writer Mono.

See: https://github.com/iaolo/iA-Fonts

Would probably be nice to have it officially supported as a NerdFont 💟

After trying the font-patcher myself, it turns out that the left-pointing triangles on the right side are not quite proper as with other fonts.

Let me know what you think about the font.

I'm unsure if the patcher/glyphs provided by this project support variable fonts, but if they do, it'd be really cool if the variable version of this font could be made available in a patched form, too.

I'm ready to just add all the variants as is and sort out any issues as a follow-up 😈

One current issue though is the RFN of "iA Writer" so we need another name.

Maybe iA writere or iA wryter or ?

[purrloftruth]

...these might be a bit on the nose, but... “iC Writing” “iM Typing” or something along those lines? (If pun-like things are acceptable.)

puns are definitely acceptable. I like something like iM Writing because it is close to the original name

[xasx]

@purrloftruth @ryanoasis I also like iM Writing; is somehow the merge of both your insane brains 😆

I think we can only patch the static fonts (not the variable ones) since FontForge looks not support it, well at least the OpenType version/spec of it. Let's see.

I found this font to be beautiful. But why is every character so space out? I had to modify the kitty conf to get the font's width narrow.

@hackedWifi Not sure on that but good to know.

Closing because completed: source uploaded and patched. To be included in next release.

Is there a way to get a notification when the iA Writer repo gets updated.
