You can't install the module using pip install FontForge, it's included in the installation of FontForge. I'm using Windows 10 by choice and this time, it hit me in the nuts. They use a Python script to edit the font files and append loads of cool stuff, and guess what, it's using the Python module included in FontForge. My terminal fonts always come from the Nerd Fonts repository, and as they also need to rename fonts due to licensing issues, it was the best place to start digging. The information on how to do this is available in the following issue on the Open Soure Idea's repository on GitHub.įontTools turned out to work against rather than with me, for some reason I couldn't always figure out where to find the fields I needed to adjust. As I'm a programmer, I didn't want to mess with a GUI tool and decided to go for a Python script using FontTools to edit the font files and make them appear as one font family. I figured I had to create my own version. My first impression was That's pretty cool, but after a while I couldn't help but not really liking Script12. They were edited using FontForge, a tool used to create or alter fonts. What it does is make two fonts look like one, so you have Fira Code as the regular font and Script12 as the italic font.
Given that it's in my nature to switch interests every two seconds, I made the call not to spend money on a hype, but instead look for hacks which must surely be out there.Īt first, my search for free alternatives to Operator Mono guided me towards FiraCodeiScript made by Ken Krocken.
After seeing Night Owl, a color theme for VSCode created by Sarah Drasner leveraging the use of italics and a font supporting this, I was hesitant about either pruchasing Dank Mono (less mature, but already super nice Operator Mono alternative), or start the search for free alternative.
