samantarik

A Monospace Bangla font experiment.

Notes

Warning

this is a prototype, dont blame me if your display explodes.

naming pattern: SamantarikProto<Mode><Scale><Variant>-<Weight>

eg, SamantarikProto-G75se-Regular.ttf -> mode: G, scale: 75, variant: s and e, weight: Regular

Modes:

  • B: 1 cells per codepoint, consonants and vowels 1, stacked marks and hasant 0
  • C: 1 cells per cluster
  • W: min(2, B) cells per cluster
  • G: B cells per cluster, W cells display
  • T: min(max(2, B), 2) cells per cluster
  • U: 2 cells per cluster

Variants:

  • (blank): centered: shaped cluster centered on cells
  • s: spread: cluster components spread out over cells
  • f: fill: cluster widened to fill cells
  • e: extended x-height for (sliightly) better balance with latin text

C seems to work best so far with kitty and neovim (vim doesnt like any of these).

Editing is often broken. Issues and suggestions always welcome.
