I'm looking for a good on the eyes font that suport a feel special characters like ç, ã and í. It also need to have a easy difference between 0/O and I/l. Sorry if this is not the best place to ask this.

Edit: thank you everyone for the answers, i will use fira code on my terminal and intel one mono on my text editor.

Here is a nice tool that shows 2 mono fonts and you pick the one you like best. Until you end up with a winner: https://www.codingfont.com/

(I use Brutalist Mono myself)

I would try it, if I didn't get a page-sized ad for another app, with no apparent way to make it go away...

Click somewhere outside the ad

I’m here to throw Inconsolata into the mix, though I use Fira more frequently now from a compatibility perspective.

I like the Hack Font family. Doesn't have any problems with 0/O or I/l and displays äöüß fine for me

You joke but comic mono is startlingly easy to look at…

Intel One Mono. It looks bizarre at first but it grew on me really fast and replaced Jetbrains Mono which I had been using for quite a while.

Ubuntu Mono.

I think it has support for most special characters, but some of the weirder symbols aren't there like a handful of IPA characters or emojis.

But you can always get backup fonts on your system just in case

👈😎👈 a lemming of culture, I see. I too use Comic Code!

Fantastic Sans Mono (they spell fantastic weird and I don't feel like checking it) is a free alternative for folks who want to try the hand written monospaced look without paying.

Dina , it's a bitmap font and there's a TTF version as well.

It's one of those things where I'm just used to it I think. The bitmap is sharp and everything else I've tried feels blurry or heavy.

One that I haven't seen here is Operator Mono. I use it everywhere I need monospaced fonts. It's paid, but since I don't need another font ever, it's worth it.

Comic code, I even paid for it. I find in easier to read. Maybe I'm dyslexic but have never been diagnosed or anything
