This saddens me, frankly.

The S is misproportioned. M should have the middle go all the way to the baseline. The middle stems on 3 and 4 are too long and too short. The punctuation is all different sizes. This is just me glancing at the normalized comparison image. It's really obvious.

    I'm not disputing that -- the approach of the issue OP was what irked me.

    • Yea, it's as if the OP went out of his way to make the feedback both insulting and non-constructive / unhelpful.

      Imagine being at work in a professional job and filing a bug like that to a coworker. Totally inappropriate.

It's an asshole issue, but at the same time the AI that did the work isn't going to have it's feelings hurt.

What a confused comment.

"There is no RETURN, SHIFT...", "Too many F keys". They are confusing a typeface with trying to replicate the keyboard keys.

The arrows are not the cursor keys, but based on the ESC key.

They are right about the @ character though, it looks quite wonky.

Why would keys with full words like shift/return/etc be useful in creating a font. Basic comprehension skills are at a loss for this user. The issue comment should have ended with the first sentence. However, could the keys with full words have been used to provide clues on kerning or other spacing to use when building the font?
