 # Proggy Fonts
 Monospaced fonts for programming. This Github page is now the official home of the Proggy fonts.
 
-The fonts are a cset of fixed-width screen fonts that are designed for programming. They were optimized while coding in C or C++. For this reason, characters like the `*` are vertically centered as `*` usually means dereference or multiply, but never 'to the power of' like in Fortran.

 The {}s are centered horizontally (in case you align braces vertically), the zero looks different from the capital oh, and there is never any confusion between ells, ones, and eyes.
 
-Additionally, the arithmetic operators (+ - * < >) are all axis aligned... unlike the last ones you just saw.
