media-fonts/gohufont::guru
- Ebuilds: 1, Testing: 2.1_p20170627 Description:
Gohufont is a monospace bitmap font well suited for programming and terminal use. It is intended to be very legible and offers very discernable glyphs for all characters, including signs and symbols.
The small 11 px version is perfect for laptops and netbooks as it enables to fit more text into their small screens. The 14 px is ideal for desktop screens where you sit farther away from it and the 11 px would be too small.
Features
Legible
The most important goal of Gohufont is to be as legible as possible. Capitals and ascenders are tall, and rounded characters are very crisp thanks to small serifs.
Non-ambiguous
I wanted to make Gohufont's glyphs very different from one another, so that there could be no ambiguity. The zero is dashed, l, I and 1 share no similarity, curly brackets are very distinct from parentheses, etc.

media-fonts/inconsolata_dz::guru
- Ebuilds: 1, Testing: 20201205 Description:
A new Inconsolata variant.
Update Dec 5, 2020: Some versions of Emacs 24+ are seeing issues with fonts that use hyphens in the name, eg, Inconsolata-dz. I’ve updated the files list below to include a version of Inconsolata-dz named Inconsolata_dz, with underscores.
I love the font Inconsolata. At bigger sizes and higher resolutions, it looks incredibly smooth and clear, and avoids the messy sort of feeling that Monaco gains as text density increases.
One thing that bothered me about Inconsolata, however, was the fact that its single and double quotes were slightly slanted or curly. It especially bothered me when using single quotes and commas, as the two looked visually similar, and my eye kept jumping levels.
As such, I made my own modification using the Font Forge source script, and named it: Inconsolata-dz
It was the first time I did anything with Font Forge, so advance apologies for any mistakes.
