What do you think about slashed zero?

[oshytiko]

Hej again 👋,

Really like your patch, especially for proper letter g, is it possible to add slashed zero for your patch as well?

I know it's exposed as a OpenType feature, but it would be nice to have it enabled by default.

I know how to frieze font features with a python script, and wanted to do it myself, but then I stumbled upon the fact I cannot understand how did you implemented your patches, did you re-draw the letters or picked them from somewhere? Double-story g looks awful lot like a Fira Code to me...

Anyhow... May I ask you to create one more patch, that will add slashed zero by default? If it's not a big hassle for you of couse.

Many thanks in advance!

1. I don't care, But I'll modify slashed zero when I have time
2. Can OpenType achieve multiple glyphs coexisting?
3. I use Glyphs application modify font

Are you talking about patch1 or path2? I now use g of patch2, I don't like g of Fira-code now

I'm a fan of open double story (Fira Code style) g it makes JetBrains Mono usable for me.

There is an effort to switch slashed and dotted zero features for JetBrains Mono: https://github.com/sharpjs/JetBrainsMonoSlashed (so slashed is the default one and dotted is optional)

JetBrains IDE don't know how to discover and enable OpenType features

Wow, didn't know that it's such an issue for IDEA... https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-221886/Support-stylistic-sets-for-fonts

I can't continue trial Glyphs2 (I don't support the purchase way), so the font cannot be edited

Because to the Glyphs2 used by Jetbrains-Mono, fonts cannot be exported with Glyphs3

May be you can try v2.251-patch3

Contain slashed zero
