      I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a hard sell for a font.

      This is the best font IMO. I used to use source code pro, but I switched to Plex a few years ago and it’s all I want to use now.

        Sans has a variable variant and the other two do not, I think.

    I’m a JetBrains Mono fan. And whatever font I use has GOTTA have ligatures. I love ligatures.

      Yeah when I went down a terminal config rabbit hole I landed on JetBrains Mono with all the nerd font symbols. Can’t really provide a particular reason I like it over many other fonts, but I just do.

    I use Fira Code Retina. I like that it is not too light, not too bold. I’m also partial to Cascadia Code and DejaVu Mono.

    For the GUI, I use Adwaita Sans in both my GNOME and XFCE computers.

      Fira Code is seriously awesome. I love how it is delightfully quirky. Not too much, just enough to give it plenty of character without becoming weird, annoying, or hard to read.

      I also really like how it is more wide than most. If I’m supposed to finish all my lines at 80 characters there’s no point in using something that condensed.

      Actually, I would really like to find a similarly non-bland proportional character to use beside it.

        Well, there’s Fira Sans, but I don’t know if it’s what you want. I like to use it for things like slides and titles, and I’ve used it as a GUI typography for some time.

        What makes it stupid? At least it’s relevant instead of random nonsense names like “noto” “callenda” “amiri” etc (apologies if all these names have rich etymologies)

      Yes, it’s fun and my brain can convince itself that it’s productive too. How can I work if I don’t have the perfect programming font?

      Along the same lines as your link - I really enjoyed playing out this font tournament, and found a few new ones I like - https://www.codingfont.com/

      Not a font guy, but isn’t it just mimicking how humans use strokes to write?

      It looks nicer, and it’s easier to read for me tbh.

    Hell yeah! The Ubuntu mono is really easy to read, and there aren’t that many sans-serif fonts that differentiate l and I well.

    Hyperlegible Mono

    I tried using the Hyperlegible family systemwide but found the 0 glyph too distracting outside of terminal/code cases. As a terminal font, it’s perfection.

    Inconsolata LGC with nerd-fonts. I edit all my text and code in Helix, a TUI editor, and having proper support for Cyrillic and Greek is important for me. Also, I like how it looks.

      Unifont is great, though I find Terminus and Proggyfonts more legible and nicer looking, but I think that Unifont probably has more character coverage which might be relevant if you insane like me and set a bitmap font everywhere.

    I used to use the Ubuntu Font until I found the glory of Recursive.

    Knock knock. Do you have a moment to talk about Recursive font? What about the weighted Recursive Duotone Nerd Font that makes bold and commented sections casual font?
