The way they talk about it makes it sound like they invented the written word, but that notwithstanding the fonts actually look really nice in my opinion.

This is brilliant. Definitely going to try this tomorrow.

Seems neat, I do love Sauce Code Pro though.

Love Neon. Very easy to read.

No support for this yet in VSCode it seems.

Fonts are an OS thing. If you don't have support for it, that's because you haven't downloaded it yet.

I personally use JetBrainsMono, it's my favourite. What do you guys think?

Iosevka offers too much customization to leave it—especially removing ligature abuse.

This seems neat, too bad it requires IDE support. Hope JetBrains IDEs support it soon.

cool. ive wanted a monospaced times-alike like their Xenon here.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Looks nice! Is this going to become the default font in GitHub and VSCode?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

i don't see ligatures in apps i use, like notepad++, Windows Terminal, Notepad and Notepads, also shame it doesn't support powerline features

Another one? Why didn’t they contribute fixes to an existing font family? 🙄

Neon looks good. The rest are awful.

Terminus is still my favorite monospaced font followed by Roboto Mono, so ignore me.

I personally like Argon a lot.

Radon kinda looks like a fancy Comic Sans

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm all about MonoLisa, but I'll give this a look
