Too bad I'm married to JetBrains Mono.

Does anyone know if Jetbrains Mono also does the whole dynamic width thing?

[-] anguo@lemmy.ca 3 points 8 months ago

Don't think it does.

[-] UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev 2 points 8 months ago

Could elaborate on what the "dynamic width thing" means?

The text healing that is mentioned in the link

Like how Neo flexes in the hallway and the entire Matrix flexes around him, except with wide letters like 'm'.

Letters like m and I are still same pixel width, you just use function of openfonts to shift letters and replace with wider version where possible.
