> * Package name : fonts-hack > Version : 2.010 > Upstream Author : Christopher Simpkins > * URL : https://github.com/chrissimpkins/Hack > * License : Modified SIL Open Font License, Version 1.1 > Programming Lang: > Description : Typeface designed for source code > > Package description: > > No frills. No gimmicks. Hack is hand groomed and optically balanced to be a > workhorse face for code. > It has deep roots in the libre, open source typeface community and expands upon > the contributions of the Bitstream Vera & DejaVu projects. The face has been > re-designed with a larger glyph set, modifications of the original glyph shapes > (including distinct point styles and semi-bold punctuation weight in the > regular set to make analphabetic characters less transparent), and meticulous > attention to metrics (including numerous spacing adjustments to improve the > rhythm of the face and the legibility of code at small text sizes). The large > x-height + wide aperture + low contrast design combined with PostScript > hinting/hint replacement programs and a TrueType instruction set make it highly > legible at commonly used source code text sizes with a sweet spot that runs in > the 8px - 12px range on modern desktop and laptop monitors. > > After several years using Debian I feel it's time to give something back to the > community. I'd like to maintain a package for my favourite monospace font. I > use it as my terminal font, so I'll be very aware of the package status and > quality. > > Paride Hi, Great :) When you upload it to mentors.debian.net email pkg-fonts-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org and hopefully someone will sponsor it.
