Envy Code R has been updated since this post.
My last post got me thinking: if I’m so happy with Envy Code B bar it’s ability to scale or take advantage of ClearType then there is only one real option. I reached for the pixelated TrueType conversion of Envy Code B and five hours later had a rough version of my first ever vector font, Envy Code R.
It’s unlikely I’ll be able to work on this before I get back from Japan so it will have to wait but here’s a sneak preview of it stacking up against Envy Code B and the current cool kid on the block Consolas.
The new font will try and be as much like Envy Code B at point size 10 while taking advantage of ClearType and hinting where possible. There is still a lot of work to do on the unusual symbols, foreign characters and increasing the curve emphasis while not destroying the scaled letter-form versions.
Here’s a preview inside Visual Studio 2005:
I promise that’s all the font posts for a little while…
