It is a very minimal clean looking monospace font with support for ligatures. What is yours ?
Recursive Mono. It’s freaking cool. I like ligatures so it’s got them, it’s nice on the eyes, and it’s playful without being too playful.
Bonus points if you use Semicasual.
+1 Recursive!
I use Iosevka Nerd Font. It looks nice and has various extra glyphs and ligature support.
I’ve used IBM Plex Mono for a long time. Currently giving github’s new Monaspace a try.
IBM Plex Mono is such a fancy, refined font. The line spacing is a bit too high for my liking though 😞
I like Hack. I'm not huge on ligatures.
Times New Roman
Maybe a little Fixed Width Comic Sans?
Variable width if you're really hardcore
Iosevka SS14
I have a custom TrueType font embedding the UCS bitmap fonts so I can use it with modern font renderers which dropped support for those old font formats.
I use comic mono for the meme, but i also like courier and old school terminal looking fonts
That's a very nice one! I also enjoy programming ligatures.
I use Cartograph CF. I like to use the handwriting style for built-in keywords. Those are common enough that I identify them by shape. The loopy handwriting helps me to skim over the keywords to focus on the words that are specific to each piece of code.
I wish more monospace fonts would use the "m" style from Ubuntu Mono. The middle leg is shortened which makes the glyph look less crowded.
Cartograph looks good. Ubuntu mono is also a great font but I guess it doesn't support ligatures.
Terminus.
To be honest, I don't care. If I dislike a default font somewhere, I change it, but there's no a favorite one. The font must be readable, that's all.
that's all
Well buddy you are very brave sharing such, almost rude, simplicity in a monospace font circle jerk.
Cascadia Code is what I'm using
I started using comic sans mono ironically, but have come to realize that it legit is easy to read.
Cascadia Code is my go to
Hey I use the same font! Didn't know it supported ligatures, is this feature new? I use the nerd font version so I might have to update.
I think it had support for a while. I guess it needs to be enabled on the editor.
re: mononoki - what's the license, I don't see it in the github.
Monospace, openDyslexic, Noto Sans Regular
I settled on Go Mono, a few years back after going through a list of commonly recommended code fonts, and picking the one that I liked best. While I usually do not program in Golang, I still find the this font to be well suited for any programming language.
