Why don't we embrace proportional (i.e. Not monospace) fonts more for coding? IMHO, they are a big step up when it comes to legibility. I personally switched after I noticed reading stuff in the sidebar (which is usually in a proportional font) felt more comfortable than reading code. You can't use it for a terminal of course, and occasionally I find comments relying on monospace alignment. Other than that I see... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago
DejaVu is one of my favorites, and it is odd to not see it included. Input Mono [1] by David Jonathan Ross is what I use these days. It's very similar to DejaVu, but I like it better because its geometry is a little rounder. DejaVu's "m" is very narrow, and it has fewer serifs (l, i, etc.), but it also has a serif version for those who want that (it's still very "sans"). It comes in many weights and has a... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
Seems like in modern times, on modern systems, we can move beyond monospaced fonts for code. I have recommended this many times here, but I use a proportional coding font: Input Sans https://input.djr.com. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
Yes I ran into problem with distinguishing between ; and : as well on this monospace font. I'll say it was fun to try it and I used it for awhile but it isnt suitable for coding purposes. Im much more happy now with a highly customizable font like Input[0] where I can make it as wide or as narrow as I like it to be and also customize the various characters [0]: https://input.djr.com/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
Does your browser have a "Reader" mode? There are font systems that target code and aren't monospace. An example is Input: https://input.djr.com/ - https://input.djr.com/preview/ The niche seems to be people who like to code without monospace, or who present code without monospace, e.g. In slides or in blog posts. Or if you want typographical consistency between non-code and code, as I understand you are suggesting. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
It looks like the Victor Mono italic font is semi-joined. https://rubjo.github.io/victor-mono/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
That's not a trick question. Victor Mono does support ligatures. Source: almost 2 years ago
It's not Iosevka (really, what else can come close except maybe Envy Code R), but I have recently discovered Victor Mono and think it an attractive programming font: https://rubjo.github.io/victor-mono/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
Offtopic: The cursive italics are apparently a feature of the Victor Mono [1] font used for the full page. While it'd be amusing in Tumblr context (where cursive is used for hyperbolic emphasis), I can't fathom why one would consider it in a code context. You can change it (at least on Safari) by going into developer tools, clicking any node, and removing "Victor Mono" from --font-family [1]... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
I use this type face on pretty much everything that involves reading or writing code. It's great! Even comes with ligatures. Victor Mono[0] is another great monospace font. [0]: https://rubjo.github.io/victor-mono/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
