Hello. This time I’ll introduce a font I created myself.

I usually use RobotoMono distributed by GoogleFont for terminal and editor fonts, but this font doesn’t include Japanese characters. Therefore, when I input Japanese, it becomes tofu (missing characters) or defaults to the OS default font. So I used FontForge to composite Japanese fonts, making it possible to handle everything with a single font.

The composite font includes:

• RobotoMono
• IBM plex Sans JP
• Nerd Font

All of these are published as open source, so they can be freely modified. Nerd Font allows embedding various icons into fonts, and I think many people use it when they have terminal shells like Powerline.

The font appearance looks like this:

You can download it from my GitHub repository:
