I enjoy comparing new fonts to Consolas, and then going right back to Consolas. It helps me feel justified!
And I hate ligatures as much as I hate table aliases, so Consolas suits me just fine. Although, DSM is a close second. I just wish its "<=>" were more distinguishable.
- WorldMaker 3y agoWhat do you think about Cascadia? It was commissioned directly as the "sequel" to Consolas and is interesting because it is open source (unlike Consolas). (Therefore cheaply cross-platform and web-safe, versus paying for Consolas licenses for non-Windows machines or websites.) You may have overlooked it before because one of the more advertised "sequel" features is ligatures, but Cascadia is one of the fonts that uses the Mono/Code naming scheme to turn on/off ligatures. ("Cascadia Mono" doesn't include the coding ligatures that "Cascadia Code" does.)
- layer8 3y agoSame here, just with Lucida Console. All those newfangled fonts aren’t properly optimized and hinted for small sizes/low DPI.
