Kali Linux logo is wider than it should be
hasecilu opened this issue · 5 comments
While playing with https://github.com/cowboy8625/rusty-rain/ I noticed that the Kali Linux logo is wider than it should be.
Thanks for sharing rusty-rain
I believe we had it 'one width' wide before and then it was so small one could almost not discern it.
And I'm not sure there is any 'we have a square bounding box' idea here (i.e. with font logos), but I can be mistaken.
See for example here:

Scale Kali Linux back up
Fixes regression from aef7b01d38929a47bb06dd27f67435d3fea78899 by
scaling kali logo up to fit to SVG height (instead of width).
This makes kali wider than 1em, breaking the existing .fa-fw style.
Work around this by overwriting .fa-fw font-size for wider icons to
scale them back down.

Mmm, I see, I don't remember seeing another "wider" glyph on Nerd Fonts but seems reasonable to have this exception, user just would need to use an extra space to avoid overlapping.
In font-logos each glyph has the advance width exactly as the glyph bounding box, means
- it is by no means monospaced
- there are small and wide characters
Hmm, for example OpenCAD seems to be not maximized in height nor width 🤔
Here an overview of all glyph sized (hori/verti):

import fontforge
font = fontforge.open('assets/font-logos.ttf')
font.encoding = 'UnicodeFull'
for c in range(0xF300, 0xF400):
if c not in font:
continue
glyph = font[c]
x1, y1, x2, y2 = glyph.boundingBox()
print('{:X} {:30} {:3.1f} x {:3.1f}'.format(c, glyph.glyphname, x2-x1, y2-y1))The usecase rusty rain expects (kind of) a monospaced font. Also 'broken' there are small glyphs, which are not centered but also left aligned within the 'strand' ('cell'):
It (Kali) would not overlap so badly if they centered the glyphs on the strand-centerline instead. That would also improve the looks for the small icons and even if people use the classic [a-zA-Z0-9] but with a proportional font.
What I mean: rusty rain does not behave nicely with non-monospaced fonts, but they could change that. Font-Logos is non-monospaced.
