BlexMono: All italic variants shown as duplicates (on macOS, at least) #257
Comments

This is not only the case with the "Complete" variants, but with the "Complete Mono", too. Didn't test the Windows variants, though … |

Hm, probably this is because all italic variants show "BlexMonoNerdFontComplete-Italic" as "PostScript-Name"? Only the bold-italic variant (correctly) shows "BlexMonoNerdFontComplete-Bold-Italic" (at least that's what the Font Book App of macOS shows) … |

Same issue with Iosevka
|
https://nerdfonts.com/ For a long time I was skeptical but I decided to try it anyway & I like it to be honest. I have a switch in case I want to toggle this `$NERD_FONTS` - I'm using Iosevka Term Nerd Font because Kitty doesn't render the normal Iosevka ligatures properly kovidgoyal/kitty#297, but in iTerm & Alacrrity it should be fine I suppose. - But here is the catch, I can have both fonts installed 🤦 because ryanoasis/nerd-fonts#257 (comment) so for now using the Term one for now (no ligatures) - Most of the changes are actually in vim mainly the statusline, I also tweaked the statusline too to make is a bit more minimal. - In tmux, the main major chnages are: - in the github status script (won't show anything by default, only if Github is having issue) - Battery check this ahmedelgabri/Battery@a4145f5 - zsh prompt check ahmedelgabri/pure@de04c1d

Could this be related to IBM/plex#161? |

This is still an issue. I've managed to fix Hasklig using TTX and editing all postscript names to be shorter. Generally speaking, This issue could probably be merged with #369 and other similar ones. |

@Slotos thanks for the lead on this. I was having a similar issue with Operator Mono. The issue is that Fontname doesn't fit the "bold" bits, so they are all the same name in temrs of Italics.
I opened all the variants with Font Forge and edited the Fontname, Family Name and Name for Humans to be much shorter, and it works:

Well, the "SubFamily" of the Thin Italic variant of Plex gets detected as "Italic". This is another case where it's more reliable to just parse it from the filename. The same happens with Victor Mono. |
Take the style from the filename if it's longer than the subfamily (fixes #257)

🎯 Subject of the issue
macOS states that all italic variants of BlexMono (merged in #253 – tanks a lot!) are duplicates, and regardless of which one you select in the font selector you chose, the "text" variant is shown (besides the bold variant, which you can use, too).
This is not the case with the original IBM Plex font, so I think this is a problem with the patching?
