Inconsolata VS ShellNewHandler

• Readability
  Inconsolata is designed to be highly readable, making it suitable for long coding sessions and use in programming environments.
• Open Source
  Inconsolata is freely available under the Open Font License, which allows for personal and commercial use without licensing fees.
• Aesthetics
  The font has a clean, modern look with balanced proportions and distinct character shapes, enhancing the visual appeal of text.
• Well-defined Characters
  Each character is well-defined with clear distinctions, reducing the likelihood of character confusion often seen in coding (e.g., between '1', 'l', 'I').
• Monospaced
  As a monospaced typeface, Inconsolata keeps all characters at the same width, which is ideal for coding and tabular data alignment.

Possible disadvantages

• Limited Styles
  Inconsolata primarily comes in regular and bold weights, lacking a wide range of styles and weights compared to other fonts.
• Non-proportional
  Being monospaced, Inconsolata may not be ideal for general text or editorial use where proportional fonts (with variable character widths) are preferred.
• Line Spacing
  The default line spacing (leading) might be too tight or too loose for some users, requiring customization for optimal use.
• Glyph Coverage
  While it covers most common characters, Inconsolata may not have comprehensive support for all Unicode characters, limiting its use in international contexts.
• Size Optimization
  The font may not be as optimized for all screen sizes and resolutions, potentially affecting clarity and readability on very large or very small displays.

• Moving from Rust to C++

  If you haven't heard of him, the joke's on you. Maybe. In any case, his work is worth looking into. He has done interesting work in font creation, font building primitives, rasterization, 2D drawing, and resistant social network graphs... - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago

• I recently got libreoffice, but now the new option in right click looks like a mess. Can someone help me get rid of them please?

  Use Shell New Handler. Run the portable app and simply untick the items you don't want to appear in your new context menu. Source: about 4 years ago

• This menu should be easy to add/remove programs to... Who is really creating Access Databases from this menu often enough to keep it here? (Not me!) Is there an easy way to edit this?

  I've always used ShellNewHandler for this. It's a really simple portable utility that allows you to remove most of the items from that menu. Tested it out on Windows 11 and it's still compatible. Source: over 5 years ago
