Re: "Programming Fonts"

In: s/programming

I can't get over JetBrains Mono. For a long time now.

I've been happy with Iosevka for a couple of years. Before that I used Inconsolata for a nice old-timey feel.

DejaVu Sans Mono... I tried a bunch of 'programmer's' fonts, but it became old to tweak fonts. I seem to set up a new machine at least once a year, and can no longer be bothered.

I've been using Iosevka and Commit Mono lately.

Thanks for all the replies

In my terminal, I mostly use non free font called cartograph CF

β€” https://connary.com/cartograph.html

But for longer texts it it is a bit exhausting, so I am looking for other fonts. JetBrains Mono seems promising.

Comic Mono, not even as a joke, it's super easy for me to read

A visual comparison showing actual code of 28 fonts can be found on Tim Bray’s website. It covers most people’s favorite fonts of the last decade:

@michaelnordmeyer: thanks! Hack seems like a clear winner there!

I code only with proportional fonts. I think I kicked off one of the biggest Gemini discussion threads this year when I posted about it ;)

β€” Proportional Coding

Right now I use Verdana.

I do use a fixed width font in the terminal, it's DejaVu Sans Mono.
