%   Authors:   Bogusław Jackowski, Janusz M. Nowacki
%   Origin:    Based on URW Nimbus Mono No9 L (URW++, 1996, GPL+font-exception),
%              extended by GUST with full Latin coverage + Cyrillic + Greek
%              + additional typographic glyphs.

%
% ── Why this font ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
%
% TeX Gyre Cursor is the libre successor of URW Nimbus Mono No9 L, the
% font used for the redKAOS marquee in the original CSS of 2006:
%
%     h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
%         font-family: "Nimbus Mono L", "Luxi Mono", "Garamond",
%                      "Courier", monospace;
%     }
%
% TeX Gyre Cursor preserves URW Nimbus Mono's design (same metrics,
% same letterforms) while extending coverage and updating the license
% to the more permissive GFL. It is the most faithful continuation of
% the 2006 typographic decision available today.
%
% ── Modifications applied for redkaos.net ────────────────────────────────────
%
% 1. Subset to a custom Spanish + English character set:
%      - Basic Latin (U+0020–007E)
%      - Spanish: á é í ó ú Á É Í Ó Ú ñ Ñ ü Ü ¡ ¿ « » º ª ·
%      - Common symbols: © ® ° § € ™ NBSP
%      - Typographic: en/em-dash, curly quotes, bullet, ellipsis
%      - Fractions: ½ ¼ ¾ ¹ ² ³
%    Cyrillic, Greek, Vietnamese and other extended Latin removed.
%
% 2. All hinting stripped:
%      - no_hinting flag in fontTools.subset
%      - Removed global hint tables: cvt, fpgm, prep, VDMX, hdmx, gasp
%      - (CFF/OTF outlines — no per-glyph TrueType bytecode to strip)
%
% 3. All layout features removed except kern (kerning preserved).
%
% 4. Output: WOFF2 with Brotli compression mode=FONT, quality=11
%    (maximum, applied automatically by fontTools >= 4.x).
%
% 5. Internal font-family name preserved as Nimbus Mono (the conceptual
%    lineage from the 2006 CSS); the file is named nimbus-mono-regular.woff2
%    in static/font/ for the same reason. The GFL allows but does not
%    require renaming when modifying ("requested, but not legally required").
%
% ── Reproducing this build ───────────────────────────────────────────────────
%
% The optimization pipeline lives at:
%     scripts/optimize-fonts.py
%
% Running it regenerates all WOFF2 subsets from the upstream sources
% (which are cached in /tmp and never committed). The pipeline matches
% the one used in the sibling repo redkaos.tools for ecosystem
% consistency.
