I won the award I really wanted!

I received this email about PragmataPro
Italian only, sorry

Solo una parola di apprezzamento per Pragmata Pro. Veramente eccellente.

Ottimo bilanciamento del peso per tutti i caratteri. L’hinting e’ davvero favoloso. Tutte le misure che uso di solito sono pressoche’ perfette e mantengono un ottima forma.

{[(+-= sono ben allineati. Mi piace la scelta del $ che non risulta troppo pieno. Forse l’unico carattere che mi da l’idea di eccessiva compressione e’ & sotto i 20px.

I simboli matematici sono una favola :). Ho fatto parecchia programmazione con APL a suo tempo, e ora uso emacs con pretty-mode.el. Nessun altro font e’ consistente per il range math symbols. Solitamente usavo un font di Dialog, ma Pragmata Pro ha tutte le glyph necessarie. E’ stato questo il motivo che non mi ha fatto resistere :)

L’unica cosa che ho notato e’ la forma di () che sembra cambiare dalla versione regular al bold a dimensione 19px. Il bold sembra piu’ curvato, probabilmente a causa dell’hinting. L’effetto si nota usando emacs con show-paren-mode che evidenzia le parentesi, solitamente cambiando il weigth in bold e invertendo i colori. Se non fosse che la parentesi e’ allo stesso posto con/senza bold, non me ne sarei mai accorto.

Detto questo, ti ringrazio ancora per il font. Eccellente.

Spero avrai piu’ tempo in futuro per estendere il range anche nelle varianti non-regular.

Grazie ancora, e buon fine settimana :)

Thanks Sebastiaan!

I’ve changed Terminal / IDE fonts every few months over the last six years until I found Pragmata Pro. This fantastic font doesn’t even feel like a monospaced font: it feels and reads like the future. I can’t possibly go back to any other typeface for my coding and shell-hacking needs. 
Serving suggestion: looks great with big type in the Terminal + Full Screen Mode.

Scotch tape fetish

Back when I was working for my Ph.D., there was this post-doc in our lab who had this funny habit. He had this big roll of scotch tape by his computer screen. Every morning, as he sat down for work, he tore off a good length of that tape to bind his left-hand ring and pinky fingers together.
