Hi, thank you very much for this font. There is a small problem in the Cyrillic alphabet of the characters. Namely the symbol "з". If you have time, can you do something with it so that it does not stand out so much. The words for the example
I'm not that used to the Cyrillic alphabet, but it seems to me that I've drawn this character narrower than the others. Is that the issue you have identified here?
I'll try and give it a second pass when I have some time later this week.
Thank you so much for this, I was very excited to see the accented characters. It’s so hard to find fonts that include them, this is the nicest I found so far! <3
Thanks, I hope you enjoy using it! The charset should be pretty complete by now (537 glyphs!) but do let me know if you're missing some accented character!
Thank you! I put a lot of effort into designing this page, and I've recently made all the custom styling (along w/ my font creation pipeline) open source, if you wanna take a look:
The page code is under "source/itch/". It's a bit disorganized because it's mostly copied/pasted directly from the built-in editors here on itch.io, but it's all there!
if you're on Windows, then download the .zip, extract it, open one of the .ttf files (monogram-extended.ttf if you want stuff like diacritics, monogram.ttf otherwise), press the "Install" button, and then it should show up in the font list in IDLE.
just noticed that in the bitmap folder, there is a lack of png files.
edit: i had to make my own version of a true monospaced on your font because it need to be exactly in the 8x8 grid space... such as "g" "j" "y" in lowercase are problematic. especially since it will overlap with other letters and symbols when the font will be rendered in a nes game style. here 2 examples to demonstrate what i mean:
this is my version:
this is your version:
as you probably noticed, the text get overlapped with each other...
Thanks for sharing this! Not only great in games, but I use it in Sublime Text as well. Also, nice work on the page. Love the layout and preview thing at the top. Easy 5/5
I am sorry for erroneous question about license...
I really checked the page but as I noticed nearly 1 of 30-50 comments about license is useless because I didn't saw something on a page.
You are right that you wrote CC0 on the second line but how many pages did you saw? License info usually (95% as it seems to me) in the end of the page + your page contains embedded window to try your font. I usually skip embedded windows in assets...
I usually open several (10-15) tabs in a row and then process them. Maybe I opened the wrong tab after moment I needed to move away from computer for ten minutes.
Honestly, I don't know the reason of mistake but I am sorry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Why? Do you think it is better not to do it at all? I use only free/libre assets and I would like just to open https://itch.io/game-assets/assets-cc0 or another aggregator link that show only assets with searchable license. But many of assets with these licenses don't have metadata so they aren't visible in those aggregator links... I am searching for assets and when I see something with CC license or something that looks like CC license or something that don't point license at all,I try to know what is the license and if it is CC license to say the creator how to add metadata
About the fact that my suggestion has demanding signs. Yeah, you are absolutely right but is it bad? I propose really useful change(s) because some Mature creators even didn't know about it....
P.S If you don't like my actions and comments, you can report me as spammer. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ While it is useful at least for someone, I think I will do it. Or I can get bored and become dust and stop doing it....
Please no longer make suggestions to monogram, or any other project of mine here on itch.
>you wrote CC0 on the second line (...) License info usually (95% as it seems to me) in the end of the page
As I said, the info was also on the metadata, which is ALWAYS in the "More information" section at the end of any project page. To make this mistake, you'd have to fail both to read literally 9 words into this page, and to check the metadata you are supposedly concerned about, at the end of the page where you claim it would be easier to find.
>Do you think it is better not to do it at all?
No idea what is "better". I find your comments rude and unhelpful, and you provide no context for your demands. Why would the "ttf" tag be beneficial? What discoverability or accessibility issues would I avoid by using that, in comparison with the "fonts" tag, which has over 6x as many entries? You never said. You just dropped into the page of an asset you have no interest in using (or even reading the description) and made a demand. Please stop.
>If you don't like my actions and comments, you can report me as spammer
I will not report you as a spammer at this moment, but what you are doing is definitely spam, and it would not surprise me if other people did report you.
I believe your push for UI improvements that make metadata settings more visible, or incentivizes creators to add them, is a good idea. But if you insist on taking this crusade into your own hands, you absolutely should work on your tone and do the minimal due diligence of checking the metadata of an asset before commenting.

Hi, ty for this font! I used it for my cyberpunk themed game jam project. I put an attribution in the main menu :)

Thank you again.

Thanks, this is exactly what I need to make my game pretty. Also, the formatting on this page is really cool and I like you showcase games using it.

Thanks for the .json export, I used it for a game jam. In the game you are supposed to break and modify the font https://koliao.itch.io/aberrationary
Ooh, that sounds cool. I'll give it a play soon!
Glad to hear my efforts in exporting this font in a bunch of formats are actually helpful!
I've used this in making my game. Thank you for making it :)
Does anybody know how to import these files into the Python IDLE Shell? This looks amazing for coding.
if you're on Windows, then download the .zip, extract it, open one of the .ttf files (monogram-extended.ttf if you want stuff like diacritics, monogram.ttf otherwise), press the "Install" button, and then it should show up in the font list in IDLE.
this is a very pretty font. might use it in a game I make someday!
wow. this font is absolutely beautiful. i was awed as soon as i saw it.
Thank you for a lovely font!
Thanks to your font i was able to finish my game, thank you very much!

Glad you managed to make it work for you!
The current bitmap export is in a format that was previously requested to me by another user. I'll consider also adding a .png file for ease of use.
As for other exact 8x8 alternatives, you might want to check out these two existing forks of monogram:
monogram gbs
monogram for playdate
Amazing work, thanks for sharing!
A lovely font that's great for so many game themes!

Thank you! I've put a lot of effort into this page, glad you like it!
This Font Is Amazing , Thanks !
I recommend you to add ttf tag
I noticed a lot of your comments are going around multiple assets on itch and suggesting/demanding metadata changes.
You commented on my font asking for the license before even checking it, although it's in the second line of text in this page AND in the metadata.
Why are you doing this?
I still recommend you ttf tag
I am sorry for erroneous question about license...
