About Meslo LG\n\nh3. Version 1.21\n\nMeslo LG is a customized version of Apple's Menlo-Regular font\n(which is a customized Bitstream Vera Sans Mono).\n\nIn Snow Leopard, Menlo-Regular is now the preferred and default font for Apple's \ndeveloper tools and also the Terminal (unless you changed the font settings for \nthese apps yourself before upgrading to SL - your changes will stay in place).\n\nI really like Menlo but I do have my nitpicky gripes with it: \n\n* The default vertical (line) spacing is just way to cramped for me, and also  \n* I am not particularily fond of the horizontal baseline alignment of the asterisk.\n\nThat's why I decided to customize Menlo, regarding these \"issues\".\nThe tricky part is keeping all the custom tables, hints, etc. intact when you \nadjust the globally very affecting stuff that results in vertical spacing. \n\nThe LG in Meslo LG stands for Line Gap. The idea behind it is to allow the user \nto have some control over vertical spacing by choosing one of three line gap \nvariants: small, medium and large (Meslo LG S, Meslo LG M and Meslo LG L respectively). \n\nIf you're interested in looks, you can find a \"comparison\":http://github.com/andreberg/Meslo-Font/wiki/Menlo-Meslo-LG-Compared-%28Mac-OS-X%29 (for Mac OS X) in the Wiki.\nAnd here's some \"example screenshots\":http://github.com/andreberg/Meslo-Font/wiki/Meslo-LG-Examples-%28Windows%29 for Windows.\n\nFor a possible way to install this font on your Windows console please see \n\"Using Meslo LG with the Windows Console\":http://github.com/andreberg/Meslo-Font/wiki/Using-Meslo-LG-with-the-Windows-Console.\n\nYou can find a FAQ \"here\":http://github.com/andreberg/Meslo-Font/wiki/Frequently-Answered-Questions.\n\nFor more articles please refer to the \"Meslo-Font Wiki\":http://github.com/andreberg/Meslo-Font/wiki.\nLast, but not least, for additional info and comparisons please consult the About PDF that comes with the \ndownladable ZIP archive.\n\n%{color:crimson}NOTE: the downloads tab is no longer supported on GitHub.%\n%{color:crimson}This just means you now download the font through the repository ZIP\u003cbr\u003ewhich you can get up top or% \"HERE\":http://github.com/andreberg/Meslo-Font/archive/master.zip\n\nHave Fun!\n\nAndré Berg\n\nh3. History\n\nv0.1\n\nInitial release.\n\nv1.0\n\nMeslo has changed it's name to Meslo LG which now includes three variants: \nsmall, medium and large.\n\nLG stands for Line Gap, so there's one variant for smaller vertical line spacing, \nmore towards Apple's Menlo, a normal line gap (which equals Meslo v0.1) and \na large gap, which is more than twice the space of Apple's Menlo.\n\nIn addition to Regular, there's Italic, Bold and Bold Italic font styles \nincluded for each LG variant.\n\nTweaked the ascender/descender/line gap relationship a bit for better layout \nat marginal smaller font sizes and prominent font styles (such as Bold and \nBold Italic). Things line underlines should be better to perceive now for \nthe font styles.\n\nThe asterisk (*) was tweaked for all font styles. \nThis includes making it line up with all alignment zones for similar height \nsymbol characters and fixing Menlo's absence of a slanting angle for the italic \nand bold italic font styles while maintaining the readability at all sizes.\n\nv1.0\n\nAdded a dotted zero version of Meslo LG which is called Meslo LG DZ.\n\nv1.2\n\n- reworked all OS/2 metrics to perform uniformely across platforms...  \n\n- ...which should fix issues with monospace layout and line height on Windows.  \n  (tests in Notepad, Eclipse and Visual Studio 2012 Express on Windows 7 x64 SP1  \n  look promising).\n  \nv1.2.1\n\n- improved ClearType and DirectWrite hinting on Windows 7+ systems.\n\n- fixed a hinting issue on Windows making the 0 (zero) glyph appear taller for   \n  some PPEM sizes.\n\n  \u003ci\u003eNote: if you are on OS X and are currently happy with Meslo v1.0 there is  \n  no need to upgrade to v1.2 since this version is just fixes for Windows mostly.  \n  Also, sorry, no Arabic support yet since I haven't found a Bitstream like font  \n  that allows extracting portions of arabic code pages to be used in another font.\u003c/i\u003e\n\nh3.
