Italics

[jmuyskens]

Are italic versions in the works?

[frankrolf]

Yes, Italics are in the making.

Frank, you may want to leave this open so that interested parties can see that this is a know issue and know the status of it.

[frankrolf]

Right, I have been thinking about this also.
I decided to close this because it is not inside the scope of the current project. I understand an issue to be more of a technical problem with the current project.
Italics are planned, on the roadmap and partly in production even, so that is all I can say at this point.

I'd also vote for leaving this open. In general, closing an issue on Github means it's been resolved (either as a "we aren't going to do this" or a "we've done this"). Keeping it closed will encourage others to open the same issue. Plus, by keeping it open, it's more visible so people can keep tabs on it.

[frankrolf]

Yeah, but then we get millions of “+1” emails, as seen with Source Code Pro.
Can’t it mean “Yes, we are doing this?”

[ryanstewart]

I think you can unsubscribe from a specific comment thread if you want with the "Unsubscribe" button to the right.

And sure, it can mean whatever you want it to mean. It's just not the way other Github projects handle it. So you may start to see people creating a new issue for it. But if not, then that's a good indication that this way works!

Any news on that? It's almost a year ago, guys...

[pauldhunt]

There is a ton of news, just not an official version yet. You can follow all the latest changes here:

@pauldhunt I think you're confusing repos, this is Source Serif Pro here.:)
