This is great if you don't want the united states politicians to read it.
I use Comic Code. It's not free, but it's so whimsical.
JetBrains Mono to the top!
I really em want to makenit a reality, do anyone here know a 17th century antique monosace font?
SideShowBobUUUUGH.wav
IBM Mono Plex >>> all other, especially this horrible mess
See the problem with this is that even if I write code with this font, I can't force people to read it in this font.
Of course you can. Instead of committing the code to a repository, you just take screenshots of the everything and commit that instead.
Are you my coworkers?
Settle down Satan.
And then you program a runtime that calls an AI to parse images and execute your code in real-time!
all code is written down in physical loose leaf notebooks
Hey that's MY cursed python programming method... I wonder if I still have those books
You can if you paste it into a write protected pdf
The only real way to write protect it is by printing the pdf into pdf (making it a pdf of an image).
I wonder if this font would screw up ocr?
Many editors can read config files from a file in the repository itself. And oftentimes it has the highest priority. Just gotta know the IDE of your target and they have to click "trust this project".
Just add it for VSCode and Jetbrains and you cover like 75-95% of devs
I... Somehow just realized that I can of course change my editor font. After three years in professional software dev.
Any recommendations for maximizing readability?
Look up a good article on coding fonts and pick your camp! At the moment I have DejaVu installed but I'm not a purist. As long as it's properly designed for this I'm happy. Ligatures are particularly nifty in some languages but no big deal. I recall one author picking a font so that the italics would be cursive rather than monospace, so that his comments would look like handwritten notes in the margin, but I never got a chance to try it myself. Looked great though!
Fira Code is my go-to.
https://www.codingfont.com/ is a fun, tournament style quiz that compares different monospace fonts. It's far from comprehensive, but I found it useful to gauge what font features I find stylish and readable
(For the record, my go-to font is Jetbrains Mono)
I got Fira Code, which tracks, I've used it before. I use Comic Code though. (A monospace comic sans type font.)
My go-to has been Fira Code for some time. Just did the test, and Fira Code was the winner. Jetbrains Mono was a close second for me though.
That was fun. Apparently I'm a JetBrains Mono user. Of course it might be simply what I'm used to, because I'm a long time IntelliJ user. It wouldn't surprise me if this is already my font.
Thanks, I got inconsolata. I'm not a coder but I'm going to use it for other things.
I unironically love comic sans derivatives, they're just super readable to me
Comic sans can help a lot of people with dyslexia.
Comic sans is a great typeface in my opinion. Just often misused.
It's a bit vanilla but I like DejaVu Sans Mono 8pt in my terminal, which is where I edit scripts and things
Curiously, I don't think that looks quite as good at larger sizes, so I've been using Liberation Mono 9pt or 10pt elsewhere.
Both of those have distinct glyphs for the usual easily confused candidates. Can't be having my lowercase L's and 1s looking similar.
Try JetBrains Mono.
Verdana.
The I/l and O/o/0, 0/8/ø are all distinct, so are all the different kinds of brackets. Also, this isn't a monospace font, so wide letters such as m and w are wide, instead of being squashed into an unreadable barcode.
Letters aren't meant to be monospace, and sans TUI nothing in computers still needs to be.
If you do need one, ex. for TUI, I second JetBrains Mono!
Also, Verdana is not a libre font, Noto Sans is a libre font that also has these properties, although code does look much better in Verdana to me.
Also, this isn't a monospace font
Oh no.
You wouldn’t want mono space in languages where indentation matters?
Nope, indentation is still the same.
For example eight spaces are going to be twice as big as four spaces in just about any font, and Verdana still accodomodates well to this with its wide spaces.
Big fan of jetbrains mono.
std::string independence;
In this case it's because part of the joke is the quote tweet. You could also link to the tweet instead of a screenshot but then we need to connect to Musk's servers at some point (even if through a proxy like nitter)
Yes, but he could've copy pasted the title.
You could've changed the main title to something like "programming the declaration of independence" or "programming like it's 1750"
He mocks op. The gag is not the font anymore.
True but I think showing the quoted tweet is better than just in the title cause it is part of the joke in the image.
Title is normally used as a reaction or just simple text with some reference to the image
reduce the flourishes and/or add more spacing between lines and it would be a lot more readable.
Putting the “no” in zapfino
