I agree with the author. I only ever look for fonts that will help add contrast to visually similar characters (ie: i, l, 1, o, 0, etc)

- bee_rider 5y agoAssuming anybody else reads your code -- this will just enable you to write code that is visually ambiguous to people using normal fonts. Ligatures, on the other hand, don't hurt anybody else.
- shagie 5y agoWhen I was required to use Eclipse, Source Code Pro was my preferred font. In January of 2020, JetBrains (which I've been able to use for the past few years professionally) came out with JetBrains Mono which is quite nice too. It has ligatures... which I don't enable. I've found the blog posts on the designs of each to be interesting. https://blog.typekit.com/2012/09/24/source-code-pro/ https://blog.typekit.com/2012/09/24/source-code-pro/ https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/mono/ https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/mono/
