Requirements

  • I have searched the issues for my request and found nothing related or helpful
  • I have checked the FAQ for help
  • I have reviewed the Wiki for relevant information

Problem Description

I would like to request Sometype Mono to be added to the collection of patched fonts. I have used many of the patched fonts over the past 15 years and recently discovered Sometype Mono. It's a bit like JetBrains Mono, but has longer descenders making it ideal for underlined text. I also recently switched back to Kitty, but found I had to specify JetBrainsMono Nerd Font in my symbol map, as the nerd fonts in my self-patch Sometype Mono remained single cell.

Desired Solution

The maintainers of this repository do an AWESOME job of patching the fonts. My hope is they could do the same for Sometype Mono as was done for JetBrainsMono Nerd Font (the version with 1.5 glyph support).

Alternatives Considered

I tried patching Sometype Mono using the nerd-fonts repo. That worked, but the 1.5 cell glyphs got truncated to single cell characters. I appear to lack the font-patching foo to do it right. :(

Additional Context

If I overlooked something simple, please let me know. Thanks!

Oh, their Best Choice monospaced font looks nice for big text on slides, thanks for bringing that font to my attention 👍 (albeit unwanted, and it's commercial too, but I will just buy it).
