This is the latest pre-release of the Envy Code R Preview 7 font, generously provided by its author Damien Guard. It is my favourite font for coding thanks to its clarity and legibility.

In this latest version, the font is even better thanks to the reduced height and optimisation of some glyphs, such as the comma sign. The only minor hindrances I can see in this release are the bold “m” glyph appears blotched and the bold “i” glyph is biased to the left. In the previous versions (see below), the bold “i” was alright while the “m” was too thin.

The release of Preview 7 is due any time soon now according to Damien. I hope he has time to fix the bold “m” and bold “i” before then. It would bring the font one step closer to being perfect.

Watch out Pragmata!
