Note

When will V7 become stable?

It is almost stable now.

As a side project during my weekends, I will release a new beta version to fix the bugs reported or encountered in my daily coding within 1-2 weeks, and do some work on the new website and build tools.

If everything goes well, the stable version will be released later this year.

Maple Font (WIP)

Open source monospace & nerd font with round corner and ligatures.

Base on Jetbrains Mono and much "Opinioned"

Features

  • Round corner
  • New shape of @ $ % & Q a and cursive italic f i j k l x y
  • Large amount of ligatures, see in features/

Build

clone the repo and run in your local machine. Make sure you have python3 and pip installed

git clone https://github.com/subframe7536/maple-font --depth 1 -b variable
pip install foundrytools-cli
python build.py
  • for Ubuntu or Debian, maybe python-is-python3 is needed as well

If you have trouble to install the dependencies, just create a new Github codespace on variable branch and run the commands there

Customize

You can change build config in config.json

  • There is --normal option in build.py for common config, just like Jetbrains Mono (with slashed zero)
  • For custom font-patcher args, font-forge (and maybe python3-fontforge as well) is needed

Chinses version

  1. Download CN base font at Gitee release
  2. put them into ./source/cn
  3. run build.py and BE PATIENT, instantiation will take about 30 minutes

Release Build

python build.py --release
