i like this quite a lot. what i like best is that it doesn't feel like a monowidth font when reading it. excellent! I find the sharp apex of the A distracting. Are those spurs in places supposed to be there? they feel a bit like they're there on mistake; I like them, but the seem inconsistent. Some of the accents (acute, grave and the lc caron) feel dimuitive to me. I think you did a good job on the eth, but i'm not a native Icelandic reader. Also, the capital Eng is the preferred shape for Hausa, but not for Sami (if that's important). more later...

Wow...I'm really impressed. This is really pleasant, and with the details on letters like g, t, and v it even approaches friendly.

I agree with Paul that I don't understand the logic behind the inconsistent use of the microserifs, especially in the uppercase (why on the top of the H but not the bottom? why on the lower arm of the Z but not the L? etc). I also think that the microserif on the r should be a little more blunt (like on the s).

While I'm on the lc r, I would think again about removing the foot serif that I saw in Xavier Noria's screenshot; I kind of liked it and it helped fill in the whitespace a little bit. On the other hand, I understand your desire to keep it as sans-y as possible.

Also, Is there a way to translate the subtle curvature of the lowercase diagonals to their uppercase counterparts to soften them up just a bit?

I admire how you've paid attention to how this looks in various programming languages on screen, and not just in natural langauges on paper.

If this is used for programming primarily, then now it looks on screen at the sizes programmers use will be of key importance. Have you tested how well it works under the situations where your intended audience reads and writes?

the cedillas on the s and t are tolerable, but i believe in most instances the comma accent is preferred.

I'm on WinXP Prof, with Cleartype enabled, adusted with ClearTypeTuner. Looking at it with a quite old CRT.

Look at line 7 (from the top) - i made a line-break and line 7 rendered less blurry!

slaps Raph with a wet fish till he gets enlightened about the wrongness of his "A"

Raph, can you point me to more information about stroke modulation of Japanese fonts, and the reasoning behind it?

(I'll get back to you with a more serious reply when I'm in a less stressed mood.)

I'd very much like to try programming using this font for a few days. You should release it.

I agree with Sergej - your A is too pointy. And if I were you, i'd try and see how the curve in 'v' and 'w' looked on 'x', 'y', 'k' and maybe 'z' too. And the curve in the 't' is great.
