Scrabble Solver by Kamil Mielnik VS 3270font

Well done tool, thanks!

I used it at https://scrabble-solver.org and got a small performance improvement (from ~70% to ~80%) in PageSpeed Insights on mobile.

I got Scrabble as a Christmas gift about 20 years ago and I immediately fell in love with it.

Fast forward 20 years and now I have a Scrabble Solver app (open source) in my portfolio that I'm proud of. It still needs improvements to run nicely on mobile.

Maybe someone will find it useful, so I'm sharing here :)

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 ;-)
