Cyrillic capital Z and number three are the same #184

There could be situations. You would never know which one is which if typing in Cyrillic. |
I guess it's the same as in latin, if you're often using |
Exactly, I wouldn't bother. |
It's not in the code, definitely, but in the text of web page let's say. I don't know about the way to have the text displayed in different font from the code :) |
Yep, it's not about code, it's about everyday usage. I, for example, use this font for reading books (it does not matter in a terminal or in a application). |
How would you change it @jozsefk9 @chelovechishko ? @firedev I don't think this is a question of being bothered. To me that's one of the core reasons why I like Iosevka - it's users can help shape the font to be better for everybody. |
@robertgzr Well, to me personally, it looks like the simplest way to do it is to leave the capital Z as it is and to change the number three to something similar to Monoid or PT Mono, for example. I could think about more ways if you give me some time, but it would always be some sort of modification of number three character. Capital Z is fine, in my opinion. |
There are more 3 users than Ze users so if one need to be changed is the cirilic one. |
@leiserfg Maybe but the problem is that Cyrillic Z is as it is, there is no much things you can do about it if you want it to look like Cyrillic Z :) and in the same time to have your fonts still being Iosevka style. |
Perhaps there could be an alternative glyph for |
@jdw1996 The only problem with that is that I don't know how to do those changes. All I know is to download one of the 12 versions of Iosevka and use it. But I see you have more options than that. I just can't figure out how to do those changes in text editor or operating system. |
@jozsefk9 I'm not sure of an easy way to make such a change given only a font file; if I decide I want a different glyph variant, I rebuild the font myself. I realize that may not be an option for everyone, but that's my process. |
@jdw1996 How difficult is that process? Any manual for it? |
@jozsefk9 Process about what? |
@be5invis Process of rebuilding the font with different glyphs. |
@jozsefk9 You can follow the instructions in README. Mainly ... prepare dependencies
make custom-config design="styles you want"
make custom |
@be5invis OK. Thanks. I will have to study about that. Can it be done on Windows machine? |
@jozsefk9 I am building the official on Windows (I WORK FOR MS currently) |
May be make the Cyrillic Ze for Slab like in PT Mono. |
@chelovechishko I'd like to choose path II, making an alternative |
@be5invis if that could be pre-built as an option among the 12 current options that would be fantastic and it would save me lots of time :) Anyway, if not I will have to spend some time and learn how to build fonts by myself. Thanks! |

This font is amazingly beautiful. There is only one problem I see about it right now: Cyrillic capital Z and number three are the same: https://s.mail.ru/KaE8/tpS5QbiNT
