Dweep X11 Font – Mod of Neep
This is my second font release. I call it dweep. No particular reason for the name though. I took the amazing Neep font from Jim Knoble, which is one of the favorite fonts of programmers, and modified a few characters, namely, “a”, “i”, “f”. May be some more, but it eludes me at the moment.
I did this specifically for my netbook. Small enough and readable at the standard EEE resolution. As usual, I have updated my github with this font. You can get it from there. Just click on the image to directly go to my github page.

Posting an old screenshot with the font in action on my OpenBSD powered netbook. Gives you an idea as to how it looks on a dark background. Click on the image for full view.

I will release another font tomorrow. Till then, folks.
that font looks really nice!
good screenshot btw, what window manager are you using on it?
I wish I could use openbsd but it won’t install on my laptop

Thanks Rob. WM is cwm. Some hardware might not be receptive to BSD’s. I have had a lot of experience with such issues.

Hey, nice font
How do you color your terminals? I mean how do you color even the arguments of a command? Cheers mate!

Thanks Andrei. Install colorwrapper (cw) to bring color to your command output. I have written about cw long time back in this blog as well.

I have cw installed, but it colors only the output of a command. I am asking because in the attached screenshot you have colors even for the command arguments. Look at the scrot command. I am interested in that kind of info. Thanks.

Ah, now I see what you mean. Live command coloring is a feature of zsh. On my github, there is a file in the root directory called, live-command-coloring.sh. You can edit it according to your needs of course. Copy that file somewhere and just source it in your .zshrc. That’s all. You will have dynamic coloring immediately.
#Add this to your .zshrc
#Live syntax coloring
source /home/user/your-directory/live-command-coloring.sh
Hope that helps.

[...] So don’t try to use it in the bold form or another pixelsize. It’s a bit bigger than Dweep and can be used on a relatively higher resolution screen without any issues. As usual, I have [...]
