Please add mono space style #35
Comments
Hi @joo -- I would like to! I'll keep this open in case anyone wants to contribute as it may take me some time to get it. |
I would find this really useful too. Especially to have tabular numbers. Please and thank you :) |
Hi @jpt , I'm also interested in tabular numbers, and would be interested in helping make it happen. Would it be useful to have help on tabular numbers without being able to commit to a full mono style? |
@alturnwall I discovered that tabular numbers are available as long as you download and host the font files yourself. They don't seem to be available in the Google Fonts hosted files. |
@thatcort wow, thanks for the heads up, I had no idea this version was different than the Google fonts version. Thanks! |
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/font-variant-numeric (I just learned about this property myself for the first time when looking into this issue, so I figured others might find this tip useful too.) *Edit: Never mind, my SCSS didn't rebuild so I thought it was using Google Fonts. After more testing, it looks like you do need to both self-host the latest official version and declare |
I think it would be sufficient (I don't think anyone is using Barlow for code). |
The one place where I found it would have been useful was for vertically
aligning dates in a dashboard app. Tabular numbers aligned most of the
dates, but the three letter month names have varying width. I agree that
it's likely not worth the effort of a full monospace style... unless you
want to ;)

it does for numerals only. there was an experimental mono version. it could be nice. looking into it. |
Here's another vote vor monospace numerals. We use Barlow for investment reports and it would look much cleaner if the numbers aligned properly. |
Thanks, @jpt – so to get the monospace numerals in MS Office I can just install the tffs from the 1.5 tree and get them automatically? Can I make them work in Google Docs as well? |
No, for google docs you'll have to wait till build 1.5 is merged into the google fonts upstream. apologies for the wait, but it shouldn't be much longer. |
Thanks! Re MS Office: I installed the fonts from the 1.5 branch but the numerals still show up in non-monospace. Is there anything else I need to do to use the monospace numerals in MS Office (Word in this case)? |
In Word 2010ʼs Home tab (before Word 2010 not supported), click the Font Dialog Box Launcher, then click the Advanced tab, where you can select number forms (from https://www.typotheque.com/help/opentype_fonts/how_can_i_use_different_numerals_in_microsoft_word) |
That worked, thanks, and much appreciated. We love Barlow! |
if add mono space style, that's perfect!
