Having spent hours looking for the 'perfect' coding font, I've noticed a lot of them only look good under Windows on a HiDPI screen. My main monitor is 'only' a large QHD screen, that I run at 100% scaling, and most of the really nice coding fonts render really badly at typical sizes (12px-16px).
It feels overkill to get a 4K monitor and scale at 200% just to get nice looking fonts :/

- formerly_proven 5y agoI really like Consolas. It looks nice and it has neat italics, which I usually use for comments.
- innocenat 5y agoI currently use Mac (200% scale) and Linux (FHD, 13", 100%) at home, and 24" FHD (100%) at work, and tbh I don't notice any problem with my font (Iosevka). Idk about other though.
- a_e_k 5y agoI originally built Luculent [1] on a non-HiDPI screen, optimized it for that size range, and fully hand-hinted it to get it to look super crisp on Windows and Linux. This sort of thing is always a matter of taste, but it might be worth a try. [1] http://eastfarthing.com/luculent/ http://eastfarthing.com/luculent/
