About Everson Mono

Everson Mono is a monospaced humanist sans serif Unicode font whose development by Michael Everson began in 1995. Its signature feature is that it is a "monowidth" font (or "router"), whose glyphs are drawn solely with a single uniform-width line. At first, Everson Mono was a collection of 8-bit fonts containing glyphs for tables in ISO/IEC 10646; at that time, it was not easy to edit cmaps to have true Unicode indices, and there were very few applications which could do anything with a font so encoded in any case. The original "Everson Mono" had a MacRoman character set, and other character sets were provided as separate files named with suffixes: "Everson Mono Latin B", "Everson Mono Currency", "Everson Mono Armenian" and so on. A range of fonts with the character set of the ISO/IEC 8859 series were also made.
