From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I don't understand how that hybrid is supposed to work. Monospace is a binary attribute; either all chars have the same width or not. So what is the font now?
It says that it s "inspired" by monospaced fonts. I imagine they mean stuff like the tiny serif on the lowercase

That's a great question, on the face of it I can't find very much info online. Wikipedia has an entry for monotype but not hybrid. The page 'hybrid font' does not exist. If anyone has more info please feel free to tag me, I'd love to know.
