My takeaway from this article is that I want to go try Fira Code now.
- miniBill 3y agoDo it! It's great!
- d3nj4l 3y agoIf you bounce off Fira (for whatever reason) also try out JetBrains Mono - incredible font with great ligatures!
- manaskarekar 3y agoTry Hack too.
- sparkie 3y agoI like JuliaMono. The main reason is I find the Unicode support much better. With Fira Code, some Unicode characters have varying widths even though it's supposed to be monospaced, making it sometimes look like a proportional font. JuliaMono doesn't seem to have this issue. Example with Fira Code: https://i.imgur.com/YqlzgTE.png https://i.imgur.com/YqlzgTE.png Example with JuliaMono: https://i.imgur.com/41aHGVM.png https://i.imgur.com/41aHGVM.png https://www.programmingfonts.org https://www.programmingfonts.org has a nice list, but besides JuliaMono only one other font on the list retains proper monospacing for less frequently used Unicode characters. You can test this by pasting the example below: ⋈ : naturaljoin ⋉ : leftsemijoin ⋊ : rightsemijoin ⟕ : rightouterjoin ⟖ : leftouterjoin ⟗ : fullouterjoin
