I almost stopped using editors … Adwaita Mono (primary), Hack Nerd Font Mono (icons/glyphs).

I’ve tried it more than once. It’s not bad, but for me, the readability of the new `Adwaita` is what suites me better. What’s your choice? Is there anything particularly worth paying attention to?

If that one suits you more … to be honest with you … I’m not that much into this particular discussion.

LucasFonts makes _TheSansMono_, which I’ve used in editors for more than a decade. It has held up exceptionally well, I use it daily even in Emacs and for plotting, and I’ve never regretted my decision to purchase it. The foundry also made _Consolas_, which shipped in Microsoft products for a number of years.

Not stereotyping but I see a functional programmer when I see this font for sure… 😁

Yea I know Adwaita and have tried it didn’t suit me, you know selecting fonts is more like how harry potter or any wizard goes through the process of wand selection, only I think that it is not mutual, but more upto our liking, my bad if I didn’t tell you if I used yours or not

Ngl, this font would hit really good in the terminal, the initial feeling which I am getting from browsing over the fonts and yea a classic fonts distribution, can never go wrong..

I like the VSCode font and colors so much that when I tried JetBrains the font didn’t feel right (too narrow), and also colors schemes could be configured right (“VSCode” scheme was nothing like it). For example, the parenthesis highlighting and certain functions did not get colored.

this reminded me, [atkinson hyperlegible](https://www.brailleinstitute.org/freefont/) just released a monospace font last year; I’ve been meaning to try it out. it’s supposed to be designed to be easy for people with low vision to read; or in other words, it should be comparatively easier to read at low font sizes (ie, can fit more characters on the same screen).

I’ve been using [iosevka fixed](https://typeof.net/Iosevka/) for a while, which is relatively tall by default; and if you want to mess with font features it is incredibly customizable. they have tons of variants per character, or also preselected sets to start from if you have a font you like but wish a few characters were a little different. if you like ligation, they also have separate sets designed for quite a few languages, including julia. their site is pretty neat, letting you play around and compare all the different options
