For the monitors I just set different desktop backgrounds. I often have my fingers on the wrong keyboard, so I have stickers on them too, wich helps, well... a bit. Added the parantheses to the To-Do-List. (Damn, I have to go in to this... soon... i hope ... ;) Thanks + Cheers Hi Jan, from time to time I’m also working on two computers, two monitors and two keyboards.

Thank you! (In case you wonder what I use my monospaced fonts for: I make it a habit to give different consoles or connections, and even different computers different fonts, so that I can easily figure out what window or screen belongs to what working environment. CP Mono is something that has a distinctive personality and thus is perfect for my purposes!) On a side note... like the person above, I'm not a fan of how hard it is to make sense of the O and 0 characters. Likewise, if you ever get to touch up on the font, I would love it if the parentheses () could differ a bit more from the block characters [], since they look really really alike on my screen, and I tend to use both of those rather much.

By the way: The font isn't kerned at all - that's the rule for a monospaced font. All the different letters (black) have to fill the same space (white). That's why letters like "i" or "l" have those wide serifs and "m" or "w" look a bit squashed horizontally. However - glad it works ... Hi Maura, you’re welcome and thanks for your compliment.

You did a fantastic job it looks so clean and evenly kerned, so symetrical. Thank you for sharing this good looking font. I’m excited about your reworked mono typeface.

It came while I was updating my blog offline. That's a nice example. I will try to get my hands on the 0/O and 1/l the next days, but it's difficult to promise a date.
