Fira Code
Thanks, it not just looks like what i wanted but it has a bunch of cool things that will look great not just on my text editor but on my terminal too, i will install it once i get home
Here is a nice tool that shows 2 mono fonts and you pick the one you like best. Until you end up with a winner: https://www.codingfont.com/
(I use Brutalist Mono myself)
I would try it, if I didn't get a page-sized ad for another app, with no apparent way to make it go away...
Click somewhere outside the ad
I wish i had found that yesterday, would've saved a lot of time
I use Fira Code. It looks great and I really like the programming ligatures.
I've take a quick look on my phone and it looks great, even if i use something elso on my editor i will use it on my terminal
Have a look at Intel One Mono. https://github.com/intel/intel-one-mono
It looks cool, specially the numbers. I will try it out later
I use the Iosevka Term Nerd Font in all my stuff
Iosevka Term and Computer Modern For Articles
I like the Hack Font family. Doesn't have any problems with 0/O or I/l and displays äöüß fine for me
Comic Sans is the answer.
Why am i still here? Just to suffer
I’m here to throw Inconsolata into the mix, though I use Fira more frequently now from a compatibility perspective.
Intel One Mono. It looks bizarre at first but it grew on me really fast and replaced Jetbrains Mono which I had been using for quite a while.
Comic Code
👈😎👈 a lemming of culture, I see. I too use Comic Code!
Fantastic Sans Mono (they spell fantastic weird and I don't feel like checking it) is a free alternative for folks who want to try the hand written monospaced look without paying.
Ubuntu Mono.
I think it has support for most special characters, but some of the weirder symbols aren't there like a handful of IPA characters or emojis.
But you can always get backup fonts on your system just in case
One that I haven't seen here is Operator Mono. I use it everywhere I need monospaced fonts. It's paid, but since I don't need another font ever, it's worth it.
Comic code, I even paid for it. I find in easier to read. Maybe I'm dyslexic but have never been diagnosed or anything
Hasklig.
Which is Source Code Pro with ligatures.

Since nobody has mentioned yet: I use a proportional font (Go Regular) for programming. It's weird at first but it's a pretty interesting exercise. There's an interesting write up about using non-monospaced font on the Input font website.
Not sure I can get behind this one. This is a quote from the write up you linked and while I agree these comments are dumb, a “don’t use this because our font won’t support it or a no it’s the editors that are wrong and should change” approach feel ridiculous.
Sometimes programmers rely on the monospaced grid to create a second column of values or comments on the right side of the page. It’s true, these secondary columns won’t align in a proportionally spaced font. But why are we making these columns in the first place? Even in a monospaced font they can be finnicky and hard to maintain. In virtually every other form of typography, the responsibility of alignment is given to the typesetting application, not the font. If source code editors can highlight syntax, they could also interpret tabs and syntax to create true, adjustable columns of text.
Hack within the terminal and Consolas for all my IDEs
