Jetbrainsmono: Windows 10 doesn't register it as monospace type?

Created on 15 Jan 2020  路  13Comments  路  Source: JetBrains/JetBrainsMono

On my Windows 10 setup, it seems to be registering as a proportional and not monospaced type. For that reason, it won't show up as available font in Command Prompt or Powershell. Other fonts like Fira Code or Inconsolata are fine.

We aware if this problem, one of the weights is missing "monospace" tag in metadata. This will be fixed in next update.
Thanks for feedback.

I think this might actually be a lack of Panose flags set - that's what Windows Command Prompt uses to identify monospaced fonts. While it was included in FontLab Studio 5 it did not make FontLab 6 or 7.

A separate process/patcher might be required to fix up the ttf after processing. Here's what it looks like in FontLab Studio 5. Toggling this flag is the difference between it showing up in Command Prompt options or not although toggling it does not affect Visual Studio for example.

I use gVim and it loads monospaced fonts only. same here like cmd or powershell.

Hello. Is there any time frame for this update?

if stars will be merciful, the v 1.0.1 will be up in next 8 hours.

The stars was not so merciful, but we fond the solution. Expect 1.0.1 in Monday. Sorry for the wait.

Thanks for fixing! Now we can have JetBrains Mono in Windows Command Line, too! 馃槃

See e.g. this post on how to add fonts to the windows command line font chooser.

Thank you! 1.0.1 became monospace on Linux.

The v 1.0.1 is out & it fixing the bug on Win 10.

Thanks for getting this fixed!!

Looks like the https://jetbrains.com/mono webpage is still serving the 1.0.0 version when you click the "Download font" button; could someone update that too?

@dnelson-1901 Thanks for bringing this up. We will update the link after the release of 1.0.2.

~ETA on when version 1.0.2 is supposed to drop?~

Five hours ago! https://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsMono/releases/tag/v1.0.2
