Mine is mononoki

https://madmalik.github.io/mononoki/

It is a very minimal clean looking monospace font with support for ligatures. What is yours ?

I like Hack. I'm not huge on ligatures.

[–] sboulema@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago

Using Cascadia Code as main font and trying out Monaspace as font for comments and git lens text.

I discovered comic mono a couple months ago and I've never looked back. It's the perfect font

[–] derpgon@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago

Been using Input Mono for the past 5 or so years.

Maybe a little Fixed Width Comic Sans?

[–] Taringano@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Variable width if you're really hardcore

That's a very nice one! I also enjoy programming ligatures.

I use Cartograph CF. I like to use the handwriting style for built-in keywords. Those are common enough that I identify them by shape. The loopy handwriting helps me to skim over the keywords to focus on the words that are specific to each piece of code.

sample Haskell code with a handwriting font variant for the words "let", "in", and "where"

I wish more monospace fonts would use the "m" style from Ubuntu Mono. The middle leg is shortened which makes the glyph look less crowded.

[–] meter_kilo@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Cartograph looks good. Ubuntu mono is also a great font but I guess it doesn't support ligatures.

[–] aard@kyu.de 2 points 2 years ago

I have a custom TrueType font embedding the UCS bitmap fonts so I can use it with modern font renderers which dropped support for those old font formats.

[–] bizdelnick@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Terminus.

To be honest, I don't care. If I dislike a default font somewhere, I change it, but there's no a favorite one. The font must be readable, that's all.

I'm a big fan of Adobe's Source Code Pro.

[–] Kissaki@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

Cascadia Code is what I'm using

[–] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Cascadia Code is my go to

[–] spez@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hey I use the same font! Didn't know it supported ligatures, is this feature new? I use the nerd font version so I might have to update.

[–] meter_kilo@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think it had support for a while. I guess it needs to be enabled on the editor.

re: mononoki - what's the license, I don't see it in the github.

[–] Aio@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Monospace, openDyslexic, Noto Sans Regular

[–] zagaberoo@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Unifont: it looks clean and I love the curly braces.

[–] rolfwr@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

I settled on Go Mono, a few years back after going through a list of commonly recommended code fonts, and picking the one that I liked best. While I usually do not program in Golang, I still find the this font to be well suited for any programming language.

Sony Sketch, I'm mildly dyslexic and it's surprisingly easy for me to read, and looks good too.

[–] Hammerheart@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

I use comic mono for the meme, but i also like courier and old school terminal looking fonts

[–] owenfromcanada@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Liberation Mono. It's probably not the best out there, but I like it well enough.
