Michael Everson is a linguist, script encoder, typesetter, and font designer. His central area of expertise is with writing systems of the world, specifically in the representation of these systems in formats for computer and digital media...

 began in 1995. At first, Everson Mono was a collection of 8-bit fonts containing glyphs for tables in ISO/IEC 10646; at that time, it was not easy to edit cmaps

Cmap (font)

The cmap table is one of the OpenType font tables, which are required to enable correct font functioning. It "defines the mapping of character codes to the glyph index values used in the font."...

 to have true Unicode indices, and there were very few applications which could do anything with a font so encoded in any case. The original "Everson Mono" had a MacRoman character set, and other versions were named with suffixes: "Everson Mono Latin B", "Everson Mono Currency", "Everson Mono Armenian" and so on. A range of fonts with the character set of the ISO/IEC 8859 series were also made. A large font distributed in 2003 was named "Everson Mono Unicode", but since 2008 the font has been named simply "Everson Mono". There are at present no bold or bold-italic styles, but an italic style was added in July 2010.

Range, Characters, Version

Everson Mono version 5.1.5, dated 2008-12-07, contains 6,343 characters (6,350 glyphs). Its previous major version (version 4.1.3, dated 2003-02-13) contained 4,893 characters (4,899 glyphs).
