Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : ttf-inconsolata Version : 001.000 Upstream Author : Raph Levien * URL : http://www.levien.com/type/myfonts/inconsolata.html * License : Open Font License Description : Monospace font designed for code listings
A monospace font, designed for code listings by Raph Levien. Completion of this font is being generously sponsored by the TeX Users Group Development Fund. First and foremost, Inconsolata is a humanist sans design. I strove for the clarity and clean lines of Adrian Frutiger's Avenir (the lowercase "a", in particular, pays homage to this wonderful design), but also looked to Morris Fuller Benton's Franklin Gothic family for guidance on some of my favorite glyphs, such as lowercase "g" and "S", and, most especially, the numerals. Some details will be most apparent in print, such as the subtle curves in lowercase "t", "v", "w", and "y". Inconsolata also borrows "micro-serifs" from some Japanese Gothic fonts, which enhance the appearance of crispness and legibility. Inconsolata is a work in progress. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
