About
Xiaolai Font Mono is the monospaced variant of Xiaolai, a Chinese font derived from SetoFont. The project describes Xiaolai as adapted for Simplified Chinese, with characters added to address gaps in its source. This Homebrew cask installs one regular-style font file: XiaolaiMono-Regular..
- The project distinguishes this monospaced variant from the proportional Xiaolai font.
- The project describes the Xiaolai font’s coverage as including the GB 18030-2022 Level 2 implementation range, the full Table of General Standard Chinese Characters, Japanese kana, and Hangul. It cautions that not every glyph is guaranteed to follow Mainland China standards; the evidence does not establish that all these coverage claims apply to this specific mono artifact.
- The project describes Xiaolai as a Chinese handwriting-style font derived from SetoFont.
- The project states that the font is licensed under SIL Open Font License 1.1, with terms for redistribution and modified versions.
Install with brew install --cask font-xiaolai-mono. After installation, select the installed Xiaolai Mono font in a compatible application, such as an editor or terminal, to use it. This package installs a font, not an application. The cask installs only the listed regular font file, not every Xiaolai style or variant.
