Basic Font Information
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
NotCourier is a re-interpretation of Nimbus Mono and was designed in
|
|
Wroclaw at the occasion of Libre Graphics Meeting (LGM 2008). For more
|
|
detailed information: http://ospublish.constantvzw.org
|
|
|
|
We took Nimbus as the base of the design. We proceeded to remove the
|
|
serifs with raw cuts. We did not soften the edges. We are not here to be
|
|
polite. See the file NotCourierSans-work.png included in this package.
|
|
|
|
NotCourier currently provides the following Unicode coverage:
|
|
|
|
- Basic Latin: 95/95
|
|
- Latin-1 Supplement: 93/96
|
|
- Latin Extended-A: 128/128
|
|
- Latin Extended-B: 7/208
|
|
- Cyrillic: 197/256
|
|
- Latin Extended Additional 90/256
|
|
- General Punctuation: 16/107

### Notes:
|
|
|
|
- lower case x-height cyrillic characters are different from latin
|
|
characters in the bold version -- not fixed yet;
|
|
- didn't verify yet if all repeated vectors were replaced with
|
|
references - if has, shouldn't be that much;
|
|
- didn't verify yet if all serifs were removed from cyrillic characters
|
|
-- if has, shouldn't be that much;
|
|
- didn't test the typefaces with cyrillic text intensivelly, since i'm
|
|
not russian, ukranian or bielo-russian fluent...
