John Drew Cover Posted October 24, 2021 Posted October 24, 2021 Do you know of a database of fonts that lists fonts by feature? Specifically, I am looking for a font that is monospaced for character-width but allows for thin spaces. To be even more specific, I have a project that needs to display columns of hexadecimal numbers, but I want to separate groups of digits with thin or half-width spaces. So I need the characters 0-9,A-F or 0-9,a-f, to be all the same width but thin spaces, (e.g. Unicode \u2009, or another narrower space could be ok, too) to be a shorter width. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Riccardo Sartori Posted October 24, 2021 Posted October 24, 2021 As far as I know, no such database exists (sadly, not least because it would be a valuable resource for font IDs). However, I know of many “semi-monospaced” typefaces that could help you achieve your goal. Here are some that come to my mind presently (but there are many more): Trispace; Lekton; Input; Iosevka; IA Writer. Additionally, depending on the software used, it could still be possible to insert an half-width space even using a fully monospaced font. 1
John Drew Cover Posted October 24, 2021 Author Posted October 24, 2021 Trispace and Lekton do the trick. (The others are not apparently readily available in my system.) Thanks so much! Here's Lekton, exactly what I needed. 1
