By entire, do you mean FS Basic, FS Expert Mode Unicode, all of Plane 1, or Plane 1 - 16? :) (yeah i know you meant the first one!)

Very nice. The lowercase t could be improved thouh, perhaps you could move the entire top half doen a pixel?
Also, the Greek alpha should look more like a one-storey a, the lambda's longer stroke should be an ascender, and it would probably be better to horizontally reflect pi.
And what about tge name "Global Mono", it seems you forgot around the end of Greek :P

Amazingly easy to read at one pixel size.

@owowow: Thanks! @Umbreon126: It's still a work in progress.

Oh, crap; One of my friends was using my computer, and I forgot to sign out of their account...

Fixed the 't', and improved the incredibly misbalanced and ugly 'f' a bit, thanks for the advice!

Comment by FTLogomaker 18th august 2013

By the way, @Umbreon126: Yes, I mean every possible character.

--Although it's already more extensive than Helvetica :)

(there's currently no way to have a font support every character, short of providing it in pieces, like the [really ugly] Code2001/2/3) (and what about Chinese lol)
Hey, by the way since you've increased the width to accommodate for some letters, why not make the "M"/"W" wider as well :)

Comment by Houlaiziaa 21st august 2013

I want at least all of the English alphabet to be monospace :)

Comment by FTLogomaker 22nd august 2013

I generally don’t get involved with the 500+ character fonts, but this one has a nice sense of proportion. 10/10 for being the first mega font that caught my eye for reasons other than the amount of characters.

Thanks! I'm glad to hear that this catches someone's eye for reasons other than size.

PS: Woo-hoo! Finally updated my avatar!

Comment by FTLogomaker 25th august 2013

@FTLogomaker - Congratulations on the new avatar. A suggestion: I realize you want the letter colors to match the block/button colors, but it's difficult to read much past the F with the rest being so dark against the black background; perhaps change the rest of the letters to white for easier reading?

Good point, I will do that. Thanks!
