Pretty much anyone coding in another language. Coders do sometimes buy fonts if they are into fonts and nice terminals.

- wyager 1y agoTo reiterate the original question: "what percentage"?

- kiitos 1y agoWhat do you think are "random obscure glyphs"? Is the Turkish lowercase 'i' (ı) one of them? What about the German Eszett (ß)? Is 'ö' a random obscure glyph? What about 'ø'?
- wyager 1y agoYes, those are obscure and unlikely to naturally show up in monospace texts. What percentage of computer programs do you think are written in turkish?
- kiitos 1y agoSorry, the question was actually rhetorical: those glyphs are in no way obscure, they're super common. A text isn't monospaced or not, a text is just a text, monospaced is a property of a typeface that can be used to render a text, it's adjacent to other properties of typefaces like serif or sans-serif. When you dismiss stuff like ü or ø or ß or etc. as "obscure" (and, transitively, irrelevant) it comes across as ignorance.
