juliamono VS fontsource

I use JuliaMono most of the time. I sometimes switch to Berkeley Mono if I want fewer flourishes. I built an on-the-fly font switcher into my terminal so it's super easy to flip back and forth as the mood suits me.

Julia has made symbol input manageable and lets you define infix operators for many of the Unicode symbols that make sense for that. [1] And JuliaMono was designed to support the symbols that Julia does. [2]

I generally do quite fine with my Compose Key configuration, though (even on Windows, where I use WinCompose). [3]

Consider Julia Mono. It has massive Unicode support and looks nice.

In a less-condensed typeface, I happen to like JuliaMono.

You could try JuliaMono. It has the most extensive gallery of glyphs of all the fonts I know of.

JuliaMono typeface (Not an app, but much worth having.)

Change to a font that contains those Glyphs. JuliaMono is probably the best option in terms of the number of provided glyphs: https://juliamono.netlify.app/.

Fontsource[0] is also an easy way to self-host variable fonts via NPM packages.

A few years ago, while I was still in high school, I began learning how to create websites purely for fun. One thing I found to be tedious was self-hosting fonts, with existing solutions to improve it completely abandoned. Consequently, I decided to learn a bit more about JavaScript by rewriting and improving these abandoned projects which led to the creation of Fontsource[0].

This project has undoubtedly set of a series of impactful events in my life, and I attribute many of my successes to it. I've had opportunities to network with numerous amazing engineers through it, leading to a part-time role and multiple internships. Companies that approached me for support also wanted to keep in touch! I also graduate this year and I am going with a full-time role from one of the aforementioned internships.

While I acknowledge my circumstances are extremely fortunate, I genuinely believe that having open source projects early on in your career can significantly contribute to standing out as a developer.

Tip: more privacy friendly Google alternatives are available and super easy to use: https://fontsource.org/

I switched most of my sites to use it and I’ve been quite happy so far.

No need to leak data to Google.

For weirder stuff (e.g. https://tidings.potato.horse) I use sites like dafont.com and convert fonts using Font Squirrel.

Fontsource publishes all Google Fonts fonts as NPM packages, allowing you to easily import them with modern bundlers.

I personally like using FontSource for this, they have some extra fonts beyond Google Fonts too

I stumbled upon fontsource.org the other day and I found the idea of installing fonts from npm packages appealing.

To do this with SvelteKit, you can use the Fontsource project. They host all of the Google Fonts catalogue as NPM packages.
