Afterbyte Mono v2.0.0 — Vector redesign

Release milestone 2 of 3. This is a regular GitHub release of a historical Afterbyte Mono design milestone. Milestone numbering is separate from the original source/font build version (0.3.0-alpha); it does not claim a new design or independent production certification.

Glyphs and characters

197 glyphs: 196 Unicode-mapped glyphs and one .notdef fallback. One Regular style.

Character group Count
ASCII uppercase 26
ASCII lowercase 26
Digits 10
ASCII punctuation and symbols 32
Space 1
Extended Latin letters 56
Nonbreaking space 1
Currencies 4
Extended punctuation and math 12
Arrows 6
Box drawing 11
Blocks and shading 4
Status and geometric symbols 7
Unicode characters 196

0 Unicode mappings added or removed from v1.0.0. All 196 supported characters were carried into the vector redesign; glyph construction and metrics changed, so existing layouts may reflow.

Includes selected accented Latin such as Ä Ö Ü ä ö ü ß Æ æ Ø ø, currencies £ ¥ € ₹, arrows ← ↑ → ↓ ↔ ↕, box drawing ─ │ ┌ ┐ └ ┘ ├ ┤ ┬ ┴ ┼, blocks/shading █ ░ ▒ ▓, and status symbols ■ □ ▲ ▶ ▼ ◀ ✓. coverage.txt lists every code point. Coverage is selected; it is not full Latin-1 or universal script support.

Design and files

Continuous vector redesign on a 1000-UPEM grid, 650-unit monospace advance, 700-unit cap height and 500-unit x-height. Flat-top A, dotted zero, single-storey a/g, rounded bowls, and redesigned R/Q and terminals.

  • TTF for desktop installation; WOFF2 for web use.
  • Complete ZIP with binaries, CSS, exact coverage, OFL, checksums, release notes, editable source, and reproducible build script.
  • Attached SHA256SUMS covers the ZIP and individual font files.
  • This historical milestone is rebuilt from the original Afterbyte outlines with the current SIL Open Font License 1.1 embedded. No Reserved Font Names are declared; dependencies retain their own licenses.
  • Source geometry originates from commit d4f222e3be28815156fdf781592ce6830b4ad6c0. All release tags use the cleaned repository snapshot so removed font-family files are not restored.

Validation and limitations

Both formats were checked for 197 glyphs, 196 mappings, fixed advances, full OFL metadata, equivalent outlines, HarfBuzz shaping, nonempty FreeType rendering, and matching checksums. One Regular style; no variable axes, no bytecode hinting, selected coverage, and no complete cross-platform installation audit.
