GoKawiilIntel restores One Mono coding font after briefly archiving its GitHub repo
Intel archived the GitHub repository for its One Mono developer typeface earlier this week as part of a broader trimming of open-source projects, then reversed course and reinstated the project. Reports indicate the company may keep maintaining it going forward.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
One Mono was built with accessibility in mind, using input from low-vision developers to reduce eyestrain and coding errors, so its removal would have cut off an actively used accessibility tool. The reversal suggests Intel is still weighing which open-source efforts to keep as it trims projects with slowed development or departed maintainers.
- Intel briefly archived then restored the One Mono GitHub repo this week.
- The font was co-developed with Frere-Jones Type using feedback from low-vision developers.
- Intel is broadly scaling back open-source projects lacking active maintainers.
