Maple 7 is out and damn is it a gorgeous, open-source, variable weight monospace font with superb italics, ligatures, nerd font symbols and Chinese support and a ton of options.

I really like the small gaps option.

Anyone got a clue why this looks so bad? NixOs config responsible for it up thread (well in a sister thread for where I fixed it). This is on an old optiplex on a 3440*1440 screen.

Is it a bad choice of font? There isn't much guidance on what fonts are likely to work well.

For those #nerds here: Should you be wanting to install a #NerdFont to enhance your #terminal experience, I just published a small #PowerShell installer that will provide some convenience to install them with a few keystrokes and no additional installation:

Took the time to upgrade my #neovim config. Completely scratched the old one.

There were two major things I learnt:

  1. It is a pain to setup neovim on a shared directory. Best to ignore the suggestion altogether and multi install it for every separate user.
  2. When using #NerdFont in the config, one needs to update one’s terminal with that font version plus assign it. Didn’t realize that one cannot setup a new font just for neovim like one can do with #vim

The main upgrade consisted of using a pre-built config written completely in #lua.
