fonts-gfs-porson
Greek font (Porson revival)
In England, during the 1790's, Cambridge University Press decided to procure a
new set of Greek types. The university’s great scholar of Classics, Richard
Porson was asked to produce a typeface based on his handsome handwriting and
Richard Austin was commissioned to cut the types. The type was completed in
1808, after the untimely death of Porson the previous year. Its success was
immediate and since then the classical editions in Great Britain and the
U.S.A. use it, almost invariably. In 1913, Monotype released the typeface
with some corrections, notably replacing the upright capitals suggested by
Porson with inclined ones. In Greece the typeface was used under the name
Pelasgika type. GFS Porson is based on the Monotype version, though using
upright capitals, as in the original.

database engine. Programs that link with the SQLCipher library can have SQL

kakoune
Vim-inspired, selection-oriented code editor
Kakoune is a code editor heavily inspired by Vim; as such most of its
commands are similar to vi’s ones, and it shares Vi’s "keystrokes as
a text editing language" model. Kakoune can operate in two modes, normal
and insertion. In insertion mode, keys are directly inserted into
the current buffer. In normal mode, keys are used to manipulate
the current selection and to enter insertion mode. Kakoune has a strong
focus on interactivity, most commands provide immediate and incremental
results, while still being competitive (as in keystroke count) with Vim.
Kakoune works on selections, which are oriented, inclusive range of
characters; selections have an anchor and a cursor character.
Most commands move both of them, except when extending selection where
the anchor character stays fixed and the cursor one moves around.
