Originally created by @eepp on GitHub (Nov 8, 2025).

Originally assigned to: @sayyadirfanali on GitHub.

I'd love to have a bold version of this as my coding font.

Currently using Hack Bold.

Unfortunately, the embolden Fontconfig edit doesn't seem to work with my editor (Sublime Text 4, Linux).

I tried to make the glyphs bolder with FontForge, but it fails for some of them and I'm not an expert.

Maybe it's easier with your workflow to embolden everything and create a bolder weight?

Thank you!

@eepp do you need a bold version of the font to display bold text in your editor or just want to increase weight by little bit to use it as a regular font (not just for bold text)?

I also want different weights, but I go in the different direction. I want a lighter weight. On my code editor, I use FiraCode Light. I would like to use Myna Light. I find the default (regular) Myna way too thick for my liking.

TLDR: Please give us Myna Light!

I want to increase the weight of the whole font to use it as is (I don't have different weights when coding).

i'm adding Bold/Light (weight) and Italic (style) variants (both .otf and .ttf formats) in the roadmap following this issue (#7) and #14.

Thank you both @eepp and @sayyadirfanali
I was about to request this exact feature. If possible Italic-Bold would be welcome as well, but not really needed

Thank you, but your bold version is too thin for me. Compare with Hack:

I need something that thick. It's like you made a medium version in fact.
