Fascinating

Note: this is different from https://blog.glyphdrawing.club/font-with-built-in-syntax-hig... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41245159 which recently resurfaced, and is cited as prior art.

As a text editor user, I prefer selecting the font and the syntax highlighting independently. This font is not useful for me.

fph•1mo ago

I suppose this gets useful in applications where you can change the font, but not add syntax highlighting. Besides being a neat trick, of course.

Then it's not for you. This comment does not add anything to the conversation and comments like these are better left unwritten.

From what I can gather, the underlying feature that enables this is vontextual alternates[1], primarily intended to adjust letters based on adjacent letters to improve legibility.

edit: I see the referenced inspiration[2] explains it in detail.
