Hope to add Sarasa-Gothic(更纱黑体)

[DustinWin]

Hope to add Sarasa-Gothic(https://github.com/be5invis/Sarasa-Gothic). When displaying Chinese, the font size can be matched with English.
Use Sarasa-Gothic:

Use JetBrainsMono NF:

It can be seen that when the JetBrainsMono NF is used, Chinese is squashed up and down.

Thans!

I don't think this is gonna be accepted. Sarasa has so many flavors, and its counterpart (Iosevka) already is here.

I tried to install Iosevka, and found that the font can be set in PowerShell, but the Chinese is garbled and the "code page"（代码页） needs to be changed. The font cannot be selected in cmd.

When mixing CJK and Latin characters, a “monospace” font providing exactly 2:1 CJK to Latin character width would be needed for proper character alignment.

Unfortunately, Sarasa Gothic is the only option as far as I know. Iosevka does not provide CJK characters.

If it's difficult to supporting all Sarasa Gothic flavors, adding only the Term or Mono flavor would be of great help.

I though Iosevka features - Wikipedia included DOUBLE WIDTH MONO CJK

I GUESS THE WIKIPEDIA PAGE NEEDS AN UPDATE

@DustinWin I think you can try Sarasa-Gothic-Nerd-Fonts

[zhiyuanzhai]

I think you can try Sarasa-Gothic-Nerd-Fonts

@ifplusor That project excludes material design icons.

The material design icons will be moved (for exactly that reason), see

• Add New Material Design Icons to its own region #773
• [Suggestion] Fix invalid code points for some glyphs #365

Funny, https://github.com/jonz94/Sarasa-Gothic-Nerd-Fonts takes Delugia's workflow :-D
But it still takes Nerd Fonts v2.1; I updated Delugia in the meantime to v2.2.2.

If I see this correctly they have

Sarasa | Gothic     | CL | Extralight | -         
       | Fixed      | HC | Light      | Italic
       | Fixed Slab | J  | Regular    |
       | Mono       | K  | Semibold   |
       | Mono Slab  | SC | Bold       |
       | Term       | TC |            |
       | Term Slab  |    |            |

That is really a whole lot, especially as the font files are huge.
A good candidate would be the .ttc, but unfortunately - although we can process them finally - I have found no way to keep them concise (keep sharing glyphs).

Maybe we can cut that number of fonts downs dramatically, and/or help @jonz94 to keep up with Nerd Font changes.

Ah, they assemble the separate fonts into ttcs afterwards

• Feature request: ttc format jonz94/Sarasa-Gothic-Nerd-Fonts#3

Would be interesting to see if the tool they use is better with repacking than we are (which is fontforge, which's ttc support seems to be rudimentary).

Our ttc support has been added here:

• Feature: Process TTC files #783

Closing because transferred to #1095
