My own pixel font for programming/shell; if you're using this, you're insane

What

It is a my own monospace pixel font, suitable for shell and programming.

Things was started as rasterized version of original Monaco font, but after a while I've redrawed all glyphs, made it wider and added bold typeface.

Usage

git clone github.com/seletskiy/monaco-font ~/.fonts

In ~/.xinitrc:

xset fp+ ~/.fonts
xset fp rehash

In ~/.Xresources`:

URxvt.font: xft:Monaco:pixelsize=12:antialias=false
URxvt.boldFont: xft:Monaco:style=Bold:pixelsize=12:antialias=false
URxvt.italicFont:
URxvt.boldItalicFont:

Why

• Sharp mind so as sharp font is required for great programming.
• Bold typeface while being 12px height; because of that font is wider than most of the 12px fonts:
  
• Cyrillic letters; only most popular pixel fonts has this:
  
• Properly aligned math/programming symbols (compare with Terminus):
  
• Continious box-drawing symbols (in some pixel fonts there are spacing between glyphs):
  
• Braces that really encloses contents (compare with Terminus):
  
• Powerline ready:
  
• Looks good on websites:
  
• Because the death is not a release:
