    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?

      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.
