The way they talk about it makes it sound like they invented the written word, but that notwithstanding the fonts actually look really nice in my opinion.

    Having different font styles depending on the context is a really nice feature. I’ll definitely give it a try.

      It’s a cool idea and the example they gave actually seemed pretty neat.

      I’d (somewhat perversely) love to see this feature tried in a terminal emulator. ANSI does actually define escape codes for switching to alternative fonts (ESC [ 10 m through ESC [ 19 m) though I don’t know of any software or even term drawing library that uses it.

        Kitty terminal has a lot of configurations for fonts. I beleive you can get down to adjustments for specific charecters. Idk if it uses the specific technology you are suggesting. But it is explained in the kitty.conf docs.

      A lot of code editors support that without the weird “healing” features they laid out here.

      VSCode has pretty decent semantic based formatting options.
