Italic variant (and possibly bold) are not being detected by Windows applications #373
Comments
I'm seeing this in Intellij on Windows. Code Linear works fine, but not Code Duotone. |
Hmm, that is odd. Thanks for the report, @javlaks! The fix isn’t immediately clear to me, though I’ll try to keep an eye out for a solution. In the near term, I recommend using the normal Recursive Mono fonts in apps that are for design and general word processing. These seem to work well for me in Windows. Here’s Wordpad: |
@arrowtype While the first two screenshots were from Word, we're also seeing this when using code fonts in the Notepad++ and IntelliJ code editors. |
@javlaks okay, I may have solved this. Would you be willing to confirm with one of the families at https://github.com/arrowtype/recursive/tree/7beedaff5200a5c8000711bc92dfbeb418af94c3/fonts/rec_mono-for-code? I found that I needed to set a few values for Bold, Italic, & Bold Italic fonts:
I think this might solve the issues in most Windows apps, and maybe even in IntelliJ. 🤞 @iansan5653 if you would be willing to try one of the updated families in IntelliJ, that would also be super helpful! |
Hey @arrowtype you're super fast! It is working now :P We only have pending a fix for the ligatures ( #369 ) Thank you for the hark work and the font ;) |
Yeeeeah thanks for helping to check that so quickly, @javlaks! 💪 I’ll wait to see whether @iansan5653 can check out things in IntelliJ before closing this / possibly moving that to a new issue. |
Sorry for the delay - I tried in IntelliJ and it's working! Thanks. |
Awesome, thanks so much for taking a look, @iansan5653! |

Expected behavior
Windows applications need to use the Italic variant instead of create italic from regular font
