Happy to see this here again. Input Mono has been my favorite programming font for the last years. This is saying quite a bit, as I tend to be very picky and regularly test other programming fonts.
There is nothing else that is as readable and comfortable to use in the long term (my next-best font, and previous favorite, was Inconsolata).
- threatofrain 8y agoI switch between Input and Fira Code as my mainstays based on whether I'm feeling like ligatures.
- folkhack 8y agoYou may just wanna go with going between Fira Mono and Fira Code then for consistency - I run Fira Mono on my terminals and Code for the editor/IDE.
- fermienrico 8y agoI tried Input Mono and it looks and feels very "tall", taking up vertical space. Obviously, I don't know whether this is just a optical illusion or objectively true. I've found SF Mono from Apple to be the best coding font. It has a beautiful "r", slashed 0, l1 disambiguation and great rendering on MacOS. For Windows, I used FontForge to increase hinting and create .ttf versions - I am pretty sure this is violating Apple's TOS :-)
- porker 8y agoThe preview is the 'Narrow' version - were you trying the regular version?
- jwr 8y agoHmm. That's strange. I find Input Mono to actually be a bit on the wide side, and I often switch to Input Mono Narrow in order to fit more on the screen. Now, Input Mono Narrow does feel "tall" (which is the point). The nice thing is that you still have Condensed and Compressed if you want things even tighter :-)
