I personally like the Jetbrains Mono font
damn my eyes are feasting rn
It looks gorgeous
For me Dejavu sans mono is a really good mono font, and it’s Foss 🙂
For my taste it looked a little too wide. Not as good as JetBrains Mono.
+1 for JetBrains mono. Been using it for years now.
Personally, I still prefer PragmataPro (tho I do admit it is a very expensive font), but this does look pretty good
You’ll have to pry Comic Code from my cold dead hands!
I’ve been using this for two days now on high contrast mode in Jetbrains IDEs I love it!!
Edit: wait I lied, I’m using Comic Mono, same idea though
I have Comic Mono too, it’s great. I’m using Comic Code for ligature support.
I might non ironically start using this
I don’t like fonts where the glyphs look wider than they are tall? In my head I call them ‘fat fonts’. IIRC Source Code Pro is like that? I used FiraCode for the longest time but recently migrated to Victor Mono. The Italics haven’t warmed on me but the rest of the faces including the Obliques look great.
The second time I heard about Victor Mono today. I might download it today.
It looks alright. I might give it a try. I tested out a bunch of different mono fonts recently and landed on Fira Code. I’m still getting used to ligatures but so far I’m liking it more than I expected.
Love Fira Code with ligatures
Looks too squished for me, I currently use roboto mono
I tried it at work for a few weeks but in the end I went back to Iosevka. Not sure if it’s something with the Intel font, being used to Iosevka, some combination of those, or something completely unrelated, but it’s the only font I can use comfortably on daily basis, after migrating from Operator
Based on my own experience and years of spectating flamewars I figure somewhere between 40-80% of any programmer’s aesthetic preference is familiarity. I use Liberation Mono (probably because it was the default on some ancient version of CentOS or something) and I doubt it’d be anyone’s first choice, but every now and then I’ll come across something with its own defaults and it just bugs me.
On topic, the most obvious difference between Intel One and Iosevka is the radically different aspect ratio.
Yeah I think the aspect ratio is one of the main problems for me, which is funny because I’ve heard people being surprised when they saw my terminal window that my font is so narrow :p
I like the curly braces (much easier to spot the difference from some other fonts that lack a well defined point).
But I’m still a fan of fira code for generally well done ligatures.
Edit: fira code, not sans.
I’ve been using Hack as my font of choice since probably around 2016 I think. I did a close comparison between the 2 after downloading it, and wow! I think this Intel font might finally replace Hack as my programming font of choice. The font does a great job of making all the common character look distinct from each other. I especially notice the parens and braces having some nice detail. I’ll have to try it out on actual files, but it looks good so far!
