Inconsolata VS cascadia-code

If you haven't heard of him, the joke's on you. Maybe. In any case, his work is worth looking into.

He has done interesting work in font creation, font building primitives, rasterization, 2D drawing, and resistant social network graphs (which turns out to be more or less equivalent to the Old Sk00l Google Juice system).

He was recently instrumental in performing a wonderful experiment in editor building -- wonderful because of the way it failed. It was something that one would think would work, but somehow it didn't. It's always interesting when intelligent and well-informed people are wrong about something. Perhaps there was too much Design and too little boring boiler plate.

I ran into something really similar with the "Inconsolata" font on Ubuntu recently (same issue as here, in case you'd like to read about it). What worked for me was recompiling emacs from source, and including the --with-cairo flag for the configure script:

I like Fantasque Sans Mono, and Inconsolata, and Input (not open source).

I change the mono font to Ligconsolata (Inconsolata with ligatures), and for the colors I use Tomorrow Night Eighties.

For example, installing Inconsolata-VF creates one "Inconsolata Regular (TrueType)" entry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts. Then I can only do @font-face { font-family: "Courier New"; src: local("Inconsolata Regular"); } Anything else like "Inconsolata Medium" won't work.

It's Cascadia Code: https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code/

Previously, [VictorMono](https://rubjo.github.io/victor-mono/), but now I am rocking: [JetBrainsMono](https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/mono/) and [Cascadia Code](https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code)

Not sure what causes it, maybe the font was installed in a format JetBrains doesn't support? In any case, installing the TTF files from the github repo worked for me.

I've completely fallen for Cascadia Code - https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code - which I think deserves a mention.

The font is Cascadia-Code.
