comic-mono-font VS 3270font

Comic Mono.

I started using it as a bit of a joke but I actually really liked it - visually distinct, easy to read and works well at small and larger sizes.

For the last several weeks I've been using Comic Mono in my terminal. It's a fixed width typeface based on the font that we've all been trained to despise and sneer at for almost 30 years, Comic Sans.

Comic Mono and Arial.

Comic Mono – Write code in the font we’ve all come to love and loathe.

Fontforge is the tool I used to create and what I use to maintain my 3270 font, https://github.com/rbanffy/3270font.

It has that 1990's Unix workstation vibes, but, if I didn't like vintage tech, I wouldn't make a 3270 terminal font.

Is there a way to add programming ligatures to an existing font, similar to how Nerd Font patches existing fonts to add useful terminal glyphs like the Powerline symbols¹? I would love to have a ligatured version of that font https://github.com/rbanffy/3270font

1) the last sentence of the article implies that the author of the article abhor them as much as programming ligatures. I don't understand why but preference in taste, color, esthetic are not objective, nor absolute, so I am not the one to judge him.

Being distributed with Debian and downstreams, 11 years old, with 1.5K stars and 60+ forks is, by far, my most popular open source thing. My biggest shame is that it's not software, but a font that mimics the look of IBM's 3278-2 terminals.

And, of course, it's the font I use for terminals on all my machines.

Sorry, but no IDE comes with a proper 3278-like font. Not even IBM's Developer for z/OS comes with one (they commissioned that other font called Plex... who would take seriously a font named after a media player?).

Luckily, everyone can get one at https://github.com/rbanffy/3270font.

Note: shameless plug ;-)
