  Description     : An innovative superfamily of fonts for code

I'll maintain this under the fonts team. It is not easy to find a
good coding font. This one looks great.

The Monaspace type system: a monospaced type superfamily with some
modern tricks up its sleeves. It is comprised of five variable axis
typefaces. Each one has a distinct voice, but they are all metrics-
compatible with one another, allowing you to mix and match them for a
more expressive typographical palette.

Thank you for using reportbug

Same here!

How far have you come with your efforts to package this font? I have
seen an empty GIT repository here, but nothing more yet:

https://salsa.debian.org/fonts-team/fonts-monaspace#

Cheers,

Hi Fabian,

Feel free to collaborate or even take this ITP over.
My motivation of packaging this font is blocked by the too-wide font width:
https://github.com/githubnext/monaspace/issues/22
That makes it very difficult to use in my terminal emulator.

At the time when I filed the ITP, there was no source available
to reproduce the font. I took a quick glance and it seems that
the .glyph files are present, so we can finally package it
without breaking Debian policy.
