[closed] [help] what font do you use in your code editor/IDE?

Same (Fira Code). And use it for my terminals as well.

Thanks, it not just looks like what i wanted but it has a bunch of cool things that will look great not just on my text editor but on my terminal too, i will install it once i get home

Terrific, I’m gonna test it ASAP

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...

I wish i had found that yesterday, would've saved a lot of time

nice tool

I ran through it a few times and ended up selecting Source Code Pro

This is a great tool. I landed on Jetbrains mono with Ubuntu mono in second place. I've been using the latter for many years so it's interesting to find something I like better.

The world would be a better place if every font had ligatures

How in the world does ligatures work with monospace

Edit: I see now that it's the symbols and not necessarily the letters you guys are merging.

I've take a quick look on my phone and it looks great, even if i use something elso on my editor i will use it on my terminal

I've used this one before, but i don't really like how the zero looks like, i prefer with a "/" inside, but thank you

Delugia Code. Which is just Cascadia Code merged with Nerd Fonts. Useful for terminals. One could also just get the Nerd font patched with Cascadia Code, they are almost the same.

I like it in the overall, but i don't really like the 0 with a dot inside and the "?"

Thank you, but i don't like much how some letters look

It looks cool, specially the numbers. I will try it out later

Iosevka Term and Computer Modern For Articles

Really liked too, i just don't know where is the perfect place to use it yet, this thread gave too many good font's and i want to have a place for them too

It looks sick, i already changed the emacs font, but i'm going to use this one on android studio

It looks cool, now i am between this and intel one

I've been looking on the hack family too, i even installed a feel but for some reason it always feels like there's something missing and i don't know why, but thank you for the reply the hack fonts are a solid choice

Thank you, i still need to take a look on iosevka but i really liked fira code

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

Why am i still here? Just to suffer

some people just want to watch the world their eyes burn...

It looks really nice

Ubuntu mono is a decent general porpuse font, but not really what i want to use for coding, but thank you

You just gave me the font for the game i am doing, thank you very much

👈😎👈 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.

It's the kind of font that i would use in some games or comics, but i don't really like it for coding

I really like it too, is bizarre but in a cool way, i'm not going to have it on my terminal, but it looks good on emacs

I love the idea of dyslexic fonts but even than i always feel strange using than, maybe because i'm not dyslexic

I use it too. I've also been curious if I have dyslexia recently. I took some online quiz meant to be a first step to see if you should ask your doctor but it seemed outdated. It used questions like how many newspapers and magazines do you read.

I've seen a lot of people talking on how easy to read it is, but i don't like much this kind of font for coding

Thank you that's the one that i've been using on my terminal, but i am looking for a substitute

Not a big fan of source code, but the ligatures are always welcome

Not sure I can get behind this one. This is a quote from the write up you linked and while I agree these comments are dumb, a “don’t use this because our font won’t support it or a no it’s the editors that are wrong and should change” approach feel ridiculous.

Sometimes programmers rely on the monospaced grid to create a second column of values or comments on the right side of the page. It’s true, these secondary columns won’t align in a proportionally spaced font. But why are we making these columns in the first place? Even in a monospaced font they can be finnicky and hard to maintain. In virtually every other form of typography, the responsibility of alignment is given to the typesetting application, not the font. If source code editors can highlight syntax, they could also interpret tabs and syntax to create true, adjustable columns of text.

+1 for Go and Input fonts. You have the same stack as me.

I just don't see how this:

^(https?://)?([\da-z.-]+).([a-z.]{2,6})([/\w .-])/?$

Is easier to read than this:

^(https?:\/\/)?([\da-z\.-]+)\.([a-z\.]{2,6})([\/\w \.-]*)*\/?$

It's not about alignment - tabs work in any decent editor. I just think it's easier to read fonts that are a little more spread out especially with operators.

That's now my way to go for a web comic font or a related project

Outside of the "i" i liked how Meslo LG S looks, i think i've seen it been used in a game, but i can't remember which game was

I liked that there is a version with a cut on z and 7, and the original pixelated version would be good in a game
