 +# Linux and Microsoft Font Rendering
 +
 +The original version of "New Heterodox Mono" is a cubic spline font. Linux is generally fine with cubic splines,
 +but Windows' rasterizer is very still very broken to render this correctly in 2021. Windows users should use a
 +slightly tweaked Truetype version, "New Heterodox Mono A". Unfortunately "New Heterodox Mono A" does not have a
 +bold weight yet. If you use Linux you can use either version.
 +
 +If you find the font appearing "glitchy" in some Linux editors (such as emacs) then you probably have
 +a mis-configured font rendering engine, perhaps the wrong DPI. My personal experience is that Qt is more likely to
 +have out-of-box good font rendering.

  Further improvement may be to add more glyphs/language support. Greeks would be my priority if I had time because
  science is what I use this typeface for. Of course, any contribution is welcome.
