Both the VGA fonts for terminal and Helvetica fonts don't support slavic characters #314
Comments
As a workaround is disabling anti-aliasing in the appearance/fonts menu, it doesn't fix the issue, the characters still look bit off but it is less noticeable since they are not smooth anymore. This does not work for terminal tho so you are just better off ignoring it. |
On topic of Helvetica font not including anything other than Latin and Cyrillic characters - it's been bothering me for awhile, too. As for the VGA terminal font - try this one out: VGA.zip |
@1chan-level-journalist You are EPIC! Yes both the Raster and VGA fonts work like a charm! I tried MSSansSerif myself by copying it from my Windows installation but it didn't fix the issue and there were other issues, your version however works flawlessly! The VGA font works like a charm as well!
Note: I moved the fonts to the |

@1chan-level-journalist feel free to send me updated versions so I can test the above issues |
On topic of some symbols not looking right - I've had an issue with FontForge, where the .sfd for regular variant got corrupted at some point, where some characters turned into duplicates of other characters. Seems like bold variant was unaffected however. As for the character kerning issue - that's another issue that's been plaguing me for awhile, and I have no idea what is causing this. I was copying everything exactly how it was in the original .FON files, and yet some characters just don't kern the same way as they do in the original. Maybe the issue lies with the .otb format itself? Regardless, the only way to fix this is to manually alter the kerning so that it looks right... when it allows me to do that, that is! There are times when the character kerning doesn't change no matter what I do to it - bold slash is one of them. By the way if you use .otb fonts with Qt-based programs, some windows would look super-stretched. Like this: |
@1chan-level-journalist thank you very much, the new version fixed all the issues expect Oh I just noticed, you fixed non bold Other capital symbols seems fine, even bold capital |
How about this one? |
Awesome work! Could you make a git repository or something similar, so you don't have to share files every time? |
Yeah, I'll make one once I finish all the languages, which shouldn't take too long. |
I just discovered a workaround to "font kerns not applying to certain symbols" issue! |
@1chan-level-journalist Sorry I got busy with life but I am back on Chicago and I downloaded the latest update of the font and everything seems to be fine, good job! |
Nice! Could you also add the VGA font? |
I am on latest Xubuntu which I unfortunately installed in Czech language because I didn't know this would be an issue later, problem with Xubuntu is that once you install it in specific language, you can't just switch back to English as all the folders and stuff already use czech translations. So maybe it would be nice if those fonts did support slavic characters.
I am talking about: "ěščřžýáíé"
As you can see, in both titles and terminal, these characters look weird
