Fantasque Sans Mono was my go-to monospace font until Jetbrains Mono came out. I still think it looks quite good for code while not being too comic-y.

- strenholme 6y agoJust gave JetBrains mono a spin. I like the design; a bit plain but pretty readable. I had to go in to FontForge and fix what I felt were some issues with the font: * I prefer a stroke instead of a dot in to 0 (zero) * While JetBrains mono has an alternate form with a 0 stroke, the stroke is too thin. * The smart quotes, such as “” look too much like each other. I edited them to give the font Verdana-style smart quotes (where “ and ‘ point to the left) * The “c” looks too much like “o”. I have opened up the bowl in c so it’s distinct from “o”. * I aggressively subsetted the font to have only English, Spanish, and some basic typography (smart quotes, em dash, bullet, right arrow). This reduces the size, which means I could make it a webfont in the future. * The changes are over at https://github.com/samboy/CaulixtlaFonts/tree/master/MiscFonts/AnnaFonts https://github.com/samboy/CaulixtlaFonts/tree/master/MiscFon... (AnnaTerm is modified Fira Mono; ElsaTerm is modified Jetbrains Mono) These are issues I could quickly patch up in Fontforge, and I do like the font.
