I recently updated my 3270 font to the newest version, with much better hinting than the previous ones. It’s a font based on the 3278-2 IBM terminal from the 1970’s. I like the straight lines and slightly taller numbers, as well as the characteristic S, 6, 9, and the dotted 0.

I’d appreciate feedback and more testing.



It’s this project I presume: https://github.com/rbanffy/3270font


Yes :-)


Is the example on the programming fonts site correct? It looks like there are spacing issues to me. Look at "removeChildren". The "remove" part the letters are pretty much evenly spaced. The "Children" part looks like there is more of a gap between letters.


I’ll take a look. Rendering varies from platform to platform. It’d be helpful if you could screenshot it and report the issue on GitHub.
