Berkeley Mono is my favourite! It's the crossed seven that matches my handwritten style which I really appreciate. Not very common in other monospace fonts I've tried.

I really enjoy this font for development and writing documentation. I carry it around for everything. Default monospace across the board: Terminal, IDE, Notes; sometimes I go buck-wild and monospace the entire Desktop-Environment to match.

I always felt a bit like a weirdo writing 7 that way - no one I know writes it that way. Glad to find there are other folks like me.

I also write Z and z with a stroke. And then someone on Twitter suggested we should add it as an option. I don’t know why I didn’t think of it despite of writing it that way! It’s coming.

Same! Cannot wait. I think I learned it from cursive and carried it over to sans.

Thanks Neil for a great product.

I saw this, and the comment below asking why there are different versions of e.g. 0 and 7. Saw the variant picker on your site, and I can't help but wonder:

Do you have any plans to add the different variants in as stylistic alternates (SALTn tables)? This is how FontFont encoded two styles of numbers and other various symbols into a single OpenType font. With FF Zwo I like some of the alternates but not others and this lets me choose.

They already are part of stylistic sets. So, for example, if you download a combination of 0 and 7 (regardless of which one), there are ss01-ss06 stylistic sets that encode other options in it.

The reason why we have a "font configurator" is because lot of terminals/IDEs/tools/OS, etc haven't got a full support for OpenType features. So we let users configure it as they like and it just works.

I guess it’s also something cultural depending on where we live. I’m from France and here a lot of people cross 7 and Z, and write 1 with a bottom bar. When I went to Japan, I found that a lot of people were disturbed by those "European" variants.

Oh that's good to know. Admittedly I didn't look too hard but I didn't see any indication that the salt tables were populated. Judging by the comments I may not be the only one.
