Although mildly janky and not really being updated anymore, FontForge is free, powerful, and gets the job done. I've also tried out trufont, which I believe is being made by the same team — the interface is cleaner but it seemed a little buggier and less powerful. Source: over 3 years ago

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").

Does your browser have a "Reader" mode? There are font systems that target code and aren't monospace.

Or if you want typographical consistency between non-code and code, as I understand you are suggesting. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
