thanks for pointing it out. i would need to consider that idea.

the symbols are all pure ASCII and are supposed to look normal. it is not a ligature font and neither focusses on Unicode symbols. the symbols are just more evenly adjusted with the letters and with each other.



That's something I really like about this front. I'm not a huge fan of ligatures and think they're counter productive. Makes it a bit harder to see the differences though, so I think a comparison would be great.


i've now added a table comparing Myna's symbols with a few other popular fonts in the README.md (without naming the fonts explicitly).


That looks really helpful. Now that I can better see the difference, I'll definitely try it the next time I write Perl or Haskell!


You could make a PR to add it to https://www.programmingfonts.org so people can become aware and compare


thanks for the suggestion. i'd definitely add it once some obvious rendering bugs on Windows are found and resolved.
