My Opentype font inspired by Atari ST 8×16 system font now on github

A few years ago, I have created an OpenType font inspired by the Atari ST monochrome system font : http://www.sporniket-studio.com/page/200812240005 Sporniket Nostalgie Sans Bold, and a monospaced variant (Sporniket Nostalgie Sans Mono Bold, obviously) for your terminal and text editor.

Right now, I created a github repo to put the fontforge sources in public history : https://github.com/sporniket/Sporniket-Nostalgie-Sans.

It looks great! Thank you, I'll use it as my default console font now.

On a Full HD screen, set the font size to 19pt give good results, there are more visible lines of text than with 25pt

Hello, I am working on a new version of my font, to fix some flaws and make it beautiful on paper. The beta version (supports the basic latin unicode block -a.k.a. US Ascii- and required diacritics and ligature for french) is available here : https://github.com/sporniket/Sporniket- ... 2.0.0-beta

Cool! My new standard mono-spaced font on my Mac. Brings in a nice bit of Atari flair.

Hello, the link I gave ( https://github.com/sporniket/Sporniket- ... 2.0.0-beta ) list 8 "assets" files, among them the font file in otf format that you are looking for. You may also download the html demo to test the font file before installing it.

I was planning to put my face instead... but I have wayyyyy more pressing issues before that.

Anyway, if it should ever happens, it would be a smiley.
