Rec Mono for Code fonts not showing correct forms of glyphs in certain software (must freeze in rvrn
feature)
#335
Comments
Hey Mattson, it's so cool to see that you're giving Recursive a try! Thanks for adding your experience here. Indeed, in VIM, all of those glyphs are in their "default" forms, while they should be in their mono-specific substitutions. It's less noticeable, but the issue is also affecting the I'll be doing a round of fixes this weekend, specifically to make things work better on Windows, and this will be one of the two main issues I focus on. I'll update once I can solve it! |
Hey, no worries, I thought it might have an issue in the editor's text rendering but saw this issue and assumed it was connected. Yes, I guess my normal font size is too small to notice the |
Haha, yeah, the It's nice to know someone personally who is enjoying it. Extra motivation! Will work on this ASAP. |
Okay, I think I’ve now solved this issue with the fonts here. Here’s a zip to make this simpler to download for now: (These fonts will be included in a proper release, soon.) These seem to be correctly working in MacVim: And the stylistic sets still work in apps that support them, such as VS Code and Font Goggles (unfortunately, MacVim doesn’t seem to support OpenType features, before or after this change). @a-mg if you get a chance, could you please test these new fonts, and let me know if they solve your issue? If so, we can close this issue. |
Hey Stephen, good timing, you updated this right before I opened GitHub. Yes, I can confirm that these new fonts are working as expected. All four packages look right (though I'm typically using Linear now). I'm seeing the same result as you did in your test. Thanks for addressing! I have an open issue on the MacVim project requesting implementation of OpenType features. :-) It's a bit of an old-school editor, so it doesn't always support things that VS Code takes for granted but it may get there. |
Awesome, thanks for helping confirm that, @a-mg! Working on making a new release, now. |

Problem description
Currently, the released fonts in
Recursive_Code
fail to show the correct glyphs in some software, such as iTerm. It seems that they continue to use thervrn
feature to swap in someMONO
glyphs, rather than just having those "baked in." That means that software that doesn't support thervrn
OpenType feature can display several characters in an unintended way.Expected behavior
Shown is a screenshot of FontGoggles with
rvrn
off, then on. These fonts for code shouldn't requirervrn
at all – they should act more like the static fonts, which have this feature baked in.Environment (please complete the following information):
Additional context
This is not a problem in other static fonts. :)
