I freakin' love Iosevka. Most monospace fonts are kind of boring and look like variants of IBM Letter Gothic. The bitmap fonts from back in the day had character, so I often use those for terminals but they don't fit well in graphical IDEs. Fonts like Iosevka, Envy Code R, and Terminus have that "character" and make spending time reading the code in them more joyful.
- enriquto 3y agoCan you suggest any large bitmap fonts for use in terminals? I find them much cleaner than antialiased (i.e., blurred) fonts. By "large", I mean that they are readable on a hidpi monitor without scaling. Thus at least of size 24 pixels, hopefully larger. So far the only one that I know is Terminus, which is not particularly beautiful.
- bitwize 3y agoClosest I can come is ttyp0: https://people.mpi-inf.mpg.de/~uwe/misc/uw-ttyp0/ https://people.mpi-inf.mpg.de/~uwe/misc/uw-ttyp0/ It goes up to 22px and is quite attractive. You can also use bdfscale to blow up an X11 bitmap font, but will have to contend with the larger pixels: https://github.com/philj56/bdfscale https://github.com/philj56/bdfscale Alternatively, use a TTF/OTF "bitmap font" and scale it an integer multiple of its actual height. The fonts in the Ultimate Oldschool PC Font Pack are good for this: https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/ https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/
