Is it just me or is screenshot comparison useless on mobile?

Here's the same with Source Code Pro: http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/140474 http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/140474 I'm liking the asterisk and kerning in general. It's taller, so it feels a little more cramped between lines. That might be a dealbreaker for some.

  I think you've made a mistake. The a glyph in your demo doesn't look like the glyph in the Github repository...

Fira at low res without antialiasing and without retina display looks right. I'd choose fira.

The 'f' is really ugly, and the * not being centered is a shame (it's used so much in source code for ⨉, it really should be vertically centered), but the reduced number of serifs is nice. I also like how === has less spacing between the lines, which fits common source code conventions which use = for underlines and horizontal rules.

On my Mac, Hack has increased leading (space between lines) which makes it more readable. Quite a bit more IMO. I'm curious why your screen shots show identical leading.

  Compared to Fira or compared to Hack rendered on my system? Are you using Atom/WebKit too? Same font size?
  - CodeWriter23 11y ago
    Hack has greater leading compared to Fira. I notice it when viewing in either Xcode, TextMate or Android Studio.

      Whoa, really? Fira already has a much larger line-height than nearly any other mono font I've used.

        They've reduced the line-height quite a bit in one of the more recent versions.
