Monoid VS Source Code Pro

Pycharm's defaults are a little meh IMO. I threw a font with font ligatures at it like 4 years ago and never looked back. Source: about 2 years ago

If we are throwing font recommendations here, I favour [Monoid](https://larsenwork.com/monoid/), I love its glyphs and look. But some years ago I installed [Victor Mono](https://rubjo.github.io/victor-mono/) as a kind of practical joke on myself (it has _italics_, usually enabled for comments in the language you use in your editor, but of course that's up to where you want them) and I found it's actually extremely... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

Another favourite font is Monoid as it has extra-large punctuation marks and operators, apertures are large to help make characters more distinguishable, and ascenders and descenders are kept short and because it’s open source you can even tweak it to your tastes if you like.

Since everyone is posting their suggestions, a couple of years ago I settled on the open-source Monoid font with ligatures. https://larsenwork.com/monoid/ I find it that it's very easy to get used to ligatures, and I find them very satisfying to look at. They're code-specific replacement characters that combine your == into a single long double bar, or -> and => into a neat little arrow character, and so on (link... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

I've been using the free Source Code Pro (GitHub source). While it works well for coding of course, I find it is also pleasing to read from for large quantities of text. The characters are distinct (no confusion between 0O lI etc.) but understated, which is what you want for something you read thousands of words with every day. Source: 12 months ago

Adobe has published several open-source fonts in their Source Sans family, and this one is monospaced and made explicitly for UI. Though the regular weight will work for most programming applications, a range of weights is available if you need them. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

I went with Fira Code, but Source Code Pro is also good. More good fonts. Source: over 1 year ago

A couple of typefaces, comic neue and adobe source code pro - these are just hyperlinks; I don't install these automatically for some reason -. Source: almost 2 years ago
