Looks good!

How about using it as a custom font for this forum?

Why not just download it from releases?

BTW, I added intel-one-mono to the xpm, if anyone wanna try or make the installation easier

Most of this site is in a proportional font. I suppose I could figure out how to mangle the theme for pre-formatted text but to be honest, that seems like a job for a CSS expert and I don’t really want to break anything. I’d rather bug our developers to package the font for Clear Linux itself.

D’oh! Yes, I should read the README more closely myself rather than just pointing everyone else at it. Fixed the write up, thanks!

Thanks for this!

Thank you @pixelgeek . Very pleasing font for my eyes. I made it the system font in KDE as well as the Edge browser.
