Hack SZ Font

"Hack" is a great programming font. It is based on Bitstream Vera, with many improvements. The only thing that has always annoyed me is that its zero uses a dot indicator that is difficult to read at small font sizes and makes the inside of the zero look blurred. I prefer a slashed zero.

"Hack SZ" is a prebuilt "Hack" variant that fixes this issue by replacing the zero with one that has a forward slash.

It is based on HackFont-Docker, so the font is build within a Docker container, that will install/build all required dependencies and keep the entire build process isolated from the rest of your system, as well as allowing to build the font in macOS and Windows.
