IBM Plex Mono got an update

IBM Plex Mono is one of my favourite monospace fonts to have come out in the last decade. And it got an update in May: – stylistic alternate for /l in Roman styles – stylistic alternates for /comma and quotes – glyph /overline (U+203E) – support for Venda language (10 additional characters) – support for Arabic transliteration (10 additional characters) – support for Hebrew transliteration (1 additional character) – support for Sanskrit transliteration (18 additional characters) – combining marks /macronbelowcomb (U+0331) /circumflexbelowcomb (U+032D) /brevebelowcomb (U+032E) – ASCII control pictures (U+2400-U+2421) I’m one of those weird people who use different fonts in different applications. IBM Plex Mono is what I use in Kate. By Ruben Schade in Sydney, 2026-08-05.
