The "peak of perfection" does not support even just European languages, not having full coverage even for Latin scripts. But it's a "love letter for the golden age of computing", and the golden age had massive problems with scripts for languages other than English, so maybe it's intentional.

What percentage of monospace text on the internet uses random obscure glyphs? This isn't really a practical problem.

>>homebr+(OP)
Hey, Berkeley Mono supports most Western European languages, can you tell me what's missing? I can add it. Btw, the tagline is about the aesthetics. :)

Hi Neil, I'm not that person you replied to but in my projects I require Cyrillic glyphs for Russian and Ukrainian texts. Also when checking out your website just now, I wasn't able to add a Berkeley Mono App License module in your ordering system. I assume I need a App License to embed the font in my app? But I also can't seem to find any information about the app license itself on your site as well.

>>testin+y5
Cyrillic is not supported so Berkeley Mono might not be suitable for your application. Are you building a Web app (Webfonts) or a Desktop/Mobile app (App license)? Please email me.

Is it a mistake, on page 4 of the linked datasheet, that "SemiBold" is shown for two different weights? I can't help but think that something like "DemiBold" was what the lighter weight was supposed to be labeled.

>>neilpa+88
The lack of the ohm symbol Ω is also quite a bummer given the technical domain of the font.

>>EvanAn+o9
Yes, that's a typo. Need to redo the entire datasheet and possibly find a way to automate it using reportlab or some other PDF library. Right now, it is in InDesign and it is a pain to keep updating it.

>>jmwils+ea
Agree, I need to work on the full greek glyphset.

>>neilpa+Ra
I've been using Typst to generate PDF reports and it's pretty nice.

>>neilpa+Wa
If you could remember to include Ancient Greek (pre 1980) accent combinations that would be awesome. It’s not that many extra accents.

(Many Greek fonts today don’t draw the accents and breathings that are used in older texts)

>>wyager+91
Pretty much anyone coding in another language. Coders do sometimes buy fonts if they are into fonts and nice terminals.

>>neilpa+b1
Your website is absolutely beautiful and so well laid out. The examples given really sell the font.

For someone who has never really been a font nerd and has never bought a font—yet: all the add on choices are confusing. Ligatures, I get, but the other options feel overwhelming. Perhaps I'm not quite the market.

>>script+kH
To reiterate the original question: "what percentage"?

>>wyager+YA5
What do you think are "random obscure glyphs"? Is the Turkish lowercase 'i' (ı) one of them? What about the German Eszett (ß)? Is 'ö' a random obscure glyph? What about 'ø'?

>>kiitos+rKl
Yes, those are obscure and unlikely to naturally show up in monospace texts.

What percentage of computer programs do you think are written in turkish?

>>wyager+ebp
Sorry, the question was actually rhetorical: those glyphs are in no way obscure, they're super common. A text isn't monospaced or not, a text is just a text, monospaced is a property of a typeface that can be used to render a text, it's adjacent to other properties of typefaces like serif or sans-serif. When you dismiss stuff like ü or ø or ß or etc. as "obscure" (and, transitively, irrelevant) it comes across as ignorance.
