<summary>Customized version of Apple's Menlo font. Great monospaced font for development work. Should also work with the Windows Console.</summary>
|
||
<description>Meslo LG is a customized version of Apple’s Menlo-Regular font
|
||
(which is a customized Bitstream Vera Sans Mono).
|
||
|
||
In Snow Leopard, Menlo-Regular is now the preferred and default font for Apple’s
|
||
developer tools and also the Terminal (unless you changed the font settings for
|
||
these apps yourself before upgrading to SL – your changes will stay in place).
|
||
|
||
I really like Menlo but I do have my nitpicky gripes with it:
|
||
|
||
* The default vertical (line) spacing is just way to cramped for me, and also
|
||
* I am not particularily fond of the horizontal baseline alignment of the asterisk.

<releaseNotes>v0.1
|
||
|
||
Initial release.
|
||
|
||
v1.0
|
||
|
||
Meslo has changed it’s name to Meslo LG which now includes three variants:
|
||
small, medium and large.
|
||
|
||
LG stands for Line Gap, so there’s one variant for smaller vertical line spacing,
|
||
more towards Apple’s Menlo, a normal line gap (which equals Meslo v0.1) and
|
||
a large gap, which is more than twice the space of Apple’s Menlo.
|
||
|
||
In addition to Regular, there’s Italic, Bold and Bold Italic font styles
|
||
included for each LG variant.
|
||
|
||
Tweaked the ascender/descender/line gap relationship a bit for better layout
|
||
at marginal smaller font sizes and prominent font styles (such as Bold and
|
||
Bold Italic). Things line underlines should be better to perceive now for
|
||
the font styles.
|
||
|
||
The asterisk (*) was tweaked for all font styles.
|
||
This includes making it line up with all alignment zones for similar height
|
||
symbol characters and fixing Menlo’s absence of a slanting angle for the italic
|
||
and bold italic font styles while maintaining the readability at all sizes.
|
||
|
||
v1.0
|
||
|
||
Added a dotted zero version of Meslo LG which is called Meslo LG DZ.</releaseNotes>
