Need 'light' style. #1

pakLebah · 2020-01-15T15:20:12Z

Just found this new incredible font and I like it almost instantly. Thank you, Jetbrains.

However, I found the 'regular' typeface style is a bit too weight to my eyes. Could you guys make an additional 'light' style that is a bit thinner than the regular?

Thank you. Keep up the good job. 👍

The Extra Light, Light, Semilight (special for dark themes) are in progress.

Diablo-D3 · 2020-01-15T19:03:58Z

If semilight does what I think it does, then this will be an especially nice font.

astrolemonade · 2020-01-15T23:39:41Z

The Extra Light, Light, Semilight (special for dark themes) are in progress.

I can't wait to use them ! Waiting for the release !

fgenesis · 2020-01-16T12:20:43Z

Light as in exactly 1 pixel wide? The font seems nice but looks super jarring with cleartype and all that antialiasing nonsense off -- some people prefer their font edges aligned to pixel boundaries ;)

richardbushell · 2020-02-06T13:05:20Z

That's great, is there an approximate time frame?

philippnurullin · 2020-02-10T14:33:48Z

@richardbushell 2—3 moths.

ddotlic · 2020-05-20T09:03:00Z

2—3 moths.

@philippnurullin Hey, is this still ongoing? Thanks for all the updates!

philippnurullin · 2020-05-20T10:15:16Z

@ddotlic Yes, it is. Sorry for the delay.

Here is a small preview of what you can expect

ddotlic · 2020-05-20T10:59:56Z

Sorry for the delay.

@philippnurullin Absolutely no need to apologize! Thanks for the preview, it looks awesome! There are even more variations than I hoped for.

Keep up the good work and thanks again.

Omnieboer · 2020-05-20T11:34:22Z

The Extra Light, Light, Semilight (special for dark themes) are in progress.

How/why is Semilight especially good for dark themes?

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but Segoe is dominating the Google search.

philippnurullin · 2020-05-20T13:22:44Z

@Omnieboer The thing is that the white object on the dark background seems a bit more bold. To put it simple, the light is glowing. The current Regular weight is made a bit more bold that usual, to grab extra pixels at the low Dpi. So it will not perform best on the dark background & at the larger sizes like, 16+ px.
That's where SemiLight become handy. It's just slightly thinner that Regular to help with optical corrections.

Omnieboer · 2020-05-20T14:06:15Z

And when JetBrains IDE's choose to ship these font options is up to them, I assume? Can't wait ^^

astrolemonade · 2020-05-20T19:46:07Z

@ddotlic Yes, it is. Sorry for the delay.

Loving it ! Keep up the good work and thank you for investing your time in improving this font ! It really means a lot to do such a tremendous work !

astrolemonade · 2020-05-20T19:51:08Z

And when JetBrains IDE's choose to ship these font options is up to them, I assume? Can't wait ^^

You can have the fonts much more sooner than when JetBrains IDE's will ship them. When they will be released on GitHub all you have to do is to delete the version of the font that your JetBrains IDE is bundled with so that your newly installed version(the one you grab from GitHub) can be recognized by the IDE.

swapii · 2020-05-20T19:52:10Z

Requesting EAP for this font :)

Can't wait to use light variant. Hope release will be soon.

Thanks for tiser.

astrolemonade · 2020-06-17T17:48:54Z

@philippnurullin how is the dev process for the new styles ? When should we expect to see it in the wild ?

philippnurullin · 2020-06-22T08:21:48Z

Hi @cata0309, the glyph part is pretty much done. Just need to update a few glyphs in Italic.
We will start testing on this week, so if the results will be good it will be released very soon.

ITSecMedia · 2020-07-08T13:08:04Z

Microsoft recently added additional font-weights to their Cascadia Code font and yes thats what we need for JetBrains Mono too, please! In certain apps, JetBrains Mono looks far too strong/bold yet.

— Added 3 lighter weights with matching italics #1 SemiLight — Special for the dark background. It’s a slightly more thin version of Regular. Light — Will perform best on HiDpi in more big sizes. ExtraLight — If you want to go even thinner. Recommended for presentation mode. — Added Variable format for more precise weight tuning. — Project migrated from FontLab to Glyphs. Source in UFO provided. — *ML comment ligatures are vertically misaligned #77 — Ligatures in a glob pattern look inconsistent #88 — Zero - hinting the dot #104 — Big space above text in OneNote #210 — Corrected hinting #218 #235 #239 #252 — Monospaced detection errors #227 #230 — Wrong interpretation in "<||> |>" #234 — Reworked % ‰ #236 — Missing some Powerline symbols #240 — Disable `>-` ligature when followed by `<` (`>-<`) #251 — Add the Latin Capital Letter Sharp S (U+1E9E) #262 — Added superior & inferior numbers ⁰¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹₀₁₂₃₄₅₆₇₈₉ — Fine tuning of capital, ascender & descender metrics — Raised the bar in `f` to work better in context of the line — More spacing tuning in arrow ligatures — Corrections in -< -<< <— <!— — More pronounced bar in Ħ Ŧ ћ ħ đ ŧ — Correct u+02C9 placement — Corrected placement of Ogonek in Uogonek — Corrections in Vietnamese diacritics

Talor-A · 2020-07-10T17:56:07Z

Thank you @philippnurullin !! The new styles look great, especially the SemiLight for dark themes.

P.S. if anyone's trying to use that specific style in VS Code like me, you need to specify it as JetBrainsMono-SemiLight in the font family setting.

swapii · 2020-07-10T18:03:58Z

Great friday news! Thanks @philippnurullin!

PR to the Homebrew already created: Homebrew/homebrew-cask-fonts#2187

But if you can't wait like me it can be installed via command:

brew cask install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MindTooth/homebrew-cask-fonts/cask_repair_update-font-jetbrains-mono/Casks/font-jetbrains-mono.rb

Replace install with reinstall if cask font-jetbrains-mono was installed before.

What's the name of that theme?

@cata0309 it's lucy, the best free one I've found yet :)

astrolemonade · 2020-07-10T18:58:34Z

Thank you ! I will definitely try it, looks awesome !

saidattax · 2020-07-10T19:28:55Z

For some reason italics are broken with Semi Light 😞 . I'm on Windows 10, and this is VS Code, I'm using it as JetBrains Mono Semi Light in my settings

#266

philippnurullin · 2020-07-10T20:26:33Z

@saidattax What files, exactly you installed in OS?
I recommend to install plain .ttf. Variable font will not recognise the italics because of font family organization. For this to work you will need to wait until we merge all the font in one file.

saidattax · 2020-07-11T04:46:51Z

@philippnurullin

I installed the .ttf files itself. JetBrainsMono-SemiLight.ttf and JetBrainsMono-SemiLight-Italic.ttf

Italics work fine with regular. This is only with the SemiLight

PS: Just tried it on Sublime Text 3.2.2 and it works fine. I think this is with VSCode only

plakhin · 2020-07-11T04:52:53Z

Windows 10
Installed all fonts from TTF Folder.

In Sublime Text, Semi Light works perfect!
"font_face": "Jetbrains Mono Semi Light"

Windows Terminal
Version: 1.0.1811.0
"fontFace": "Jetbrains Mono" works since first version.
But how to select Light or Semi Light? Tried Jetbrains Mono Light, JetBrainsMono-SemiLight and various different options - nothing helped.

plakhin · 2020-07-11T05:00:31Z

Windows 10, Sublime Text.

	"font_face": "Jetbrains Mono Light",
	"font_options":
	[
		"gray_antialias",
		"subpixel_antialias",
		"directwrite"
	],
	"font_size": 10,

i looks like 1.

However for font size 11 it looks great

and no such problem with Jetbrains Mono and Jetbrains Mono Semi Light

plakhin · 2020-07-11T05:15:22Z

Does it look to me only that L and gh are completely different weight?

philippnurullin · 2020-07-11T09:19:58Z

@plakhin Please, care to create a separate issue regarding i. Yes, this can be improved.
I see no errors in L + gh.

Closing this issue because the Lighter weight was delivered.

yvvt0379 · 2021-07-02T15:40:26Z

@philippnurullin I don't know if it's suitable to ask here, but I just wonder how I can apply the SemiLight to VScode.

philippnurullin · 2021-07-02T16:27:16Z

Yes, you can. The SimeLight name was scrapped due to to unfamiliarity. So now it's called Light.

Go to the settings.
Find Editor: Font Weight.
Set value to 300. This will be the Light weight.

yvvt0379 · 2021-07-02T16:41:34Z

Ok, I see. Big thanks👍🏻
