Shameless plug: I mentioned this as my favorite font for code editors in my blog post https://dragoshmocrii.com/my-favorite-tools-resources-for-day-to-day-software-development/ https://dragoshmocrii.com/my-favorite-tools-resources-for-da...
- rocky1138 6y agoThanks for the heads-up. Personally, I'm not a huge ligature fan in my code as my eyes tend to go directly to them instead of the code I want to read. It's great that Fira Code comes with a non-ligature version.
- dragosmocrii 6y agoYou're welcome! I can see how that could be a distraction for some. Personally, I enjoy the aesthetics. And as a bonus, I always get people intrigued when I show someone the code with this font that they never saw before. Nonetheless, in my opinion it's still an awesome monospace font even without the ligatures.
- cannam 6y agoFira Code is a big job (with so many ligatures) and working on it obviously takes great care, but let's not pretend that the same author is responsible for the font as a whole - unless you know something about Fira Mono that I don't?
