Add Iosevka Term Slab

[aswinmohanme]

It would be nice if you guys could support Iosevka Term Slab Officially, this would complete the Iosevka Family.

[ryanoasis]

Great suggestion, thanks

[aswinmohanme]

Thank you for the awesome fonts :D

[ryanoasis]

Thanks! They are already awesome fonts we just patch 'em 😊 and aggregate a bunch of things but I know what you mean 😄

I think slab version of this font has not been added to the collection. Why was this issue closed?

[mfiano]

Can we please get Slab added? Thanks!

In case you want the font and don't want to wait, you can use the nerd fonts patching tool as describe in the readme.

Note, the patcher tool does not work for .ttc collections, so you'll want to "extract" the .ttf(s) you are interested in and use the font patching tool on the .ttf(s).

I just did so for the regular fixed slab iosevka and it worked on my env (macOS).

From my understanding the patcher doesn't work on ARM.

Has anyone nerdified this font which they can share?

[Finii]

@eggbean Supply links to the exact font files you like to have patched and I can upload them in a branch ;-)

@ankitp4t3l Well, one could use #783 ;-D

[eggbean]

@Finii This is the latest version I could find. Thanks.

The 'source' is on Github, like ,,, https://github.com/be5invis/Iosevka/releases/tag/v15.0.1

You see that there are trillions of different font sets 🙄

Thought you would like ttf-iosevka-term-slab-15.0.1.zip.

Or if you can work with ttcs super-ttc-sgr-iosevka-term-slab-15.0.1.zip

Or ... whatever. That's why I ask, there are too many to choose from. With a lot of 'burnt in' SS (stylistic sets)....

Your links are for Iosevka Slab Regular and Medium.
This Issue was about Iosevka Term Slab
Hmm.

?? :-D

[eggbean]

@Finii Oh, well Iosevska Term Slab (Regular and Medium) would actually be what I would prefer, of course. I just didn't realise that it existed, as I couldn't find it. And I didn't realise that they were already in the repository.

What are super-tcc fonts? Do they include HJK characters or something like that?

[Finii]

ttc = true type collection. Instead of having multiple files with one style/weight (i.e. bold, italic, ...) each, one file that contains all styles/weights of a family. In principle they all can share glyphs, which is ... not utilized at least by us.

Just easier to manage. I do not know if all OSs support them, probably yes.

super ... I have no clue.

The patch run for all most of ttf-iosevka-term-slab-15.0.1.zip is running right now.
Had to build fontforge first, that took some time, was debugging something in ff :-}

[eggbean]

Thanks for the help.

• Did the patching with fontforge version 20201107-246-g0bf72b2f8 (HEAD at the moment) (i.e. with 16 bit field fix that corrupted Iosevkas).
• Did it with the new naming scheme, because the old naming is broken esp with fonts that have lots and lots of family members.
  • Use Update Cascadia to 2111.01 #723
  • Add config_patch_flags="--makegroups" to src/unpatched-fonts/Iosevka/config.cfg

Patch results can be found here:
https://github.com/Finii/nerd-fonts/tree/feature/Add-Iosevka-Term-Slab-patched/patched-fonts/Iosevka

(Obviously I forgot Bold-Oblique ... sigh)

Note: Just the Term Slab variants were patched by me now, the other ones are untouched and can (i.e. will) contain errors.

Then, @ryanoasis: I believe we should change the directory structure:

At the moment we have

src/unpatched-fonts/Iosevka/Bold:
        iosevka-bold.ttf
        iosevka-term-bold.ttf
        iosevka-term-slab-bold.ttf
src/unpatched-fonts/Iosevka/Bold-Italic:
        iosevka-bolditalic.ttf
        iosevka-term-bolditalic.ttf
        iosevka-term-slab-bolditalic.ttf

which results in an equally set up patched-fonts/ result.

Usually - I believe - people do not mix different Iosevkas and would rather have one Family in one folder like so:

src/unpatched-fonts/Iosevka/Standard:
        iosevka-bold.ttf
        iosevka-bolditalic.ttf
src/unpatched-fonts/Iosevka/Term:
        iosevka-term-bold.ttf
        iosevka-term-bolditalic.ttf
src/unpatched-fonts/Iosevka/TermSlab:
        iosevka-term-slab-bold.ttf
        iosevka-term-slab-bolditalic.ttf

And/or with the Bold/ and Bold-Italic as sub folders.

I guess the reason for the Bold etc folders is, that the result will have 4 fonts for each input font, which can become confusing.

But then again, it is unlikely that people want a windows-compatible AND a normal font, so why are they grouped together?

What about

patched-fonts/
              standard/
              mono/
              windows-compat/
              mono-windows-compat/

And then the individual fonts below these?

Whatever. ;)

[eggbean]

It's insane how many variants this typeface has. Thanks a lot!
