Liberation Mono Regular

Liberation Mono Regular was commissioned by Red Hat in 2007 and developed by Steve Matteson of Ascender Corp. It was specifically engineered to be metrically compatible with Courier New, a widely used proprietary font. This design choice ensures that documents and layouts created for Courier New will render with identical line wraps and page breaks when using Liberation Mono, providing a seamless open-source alternative for users across different operating systems.

The font belongs to the Liberation Fonts family, which includes Serif and Sans versions as well. It is characterized by its clean, monospaced design which excels in technical environments where character clarity is paramount. Distributed under the SIL Open Font License, it has become a standard inclusion in many Linux distributions and open-source software packages due to its high legibility and versatile application in digital environments.
