• Texture Healing for Monospace Fonts

  I tried out Monaspace but felt that the fonts were a bit thin for my QHD monitor I use as my primary display. Perhaps it's something you get used to after some time using it, but I ended up switching back to my favorite font, Input Mono (which, as a coding font, isn't actually monospace, so it brings a bunch of cool features and doesn't need to do texture healing). https://input.djr.com/info/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Almost monospaced: the perfect fonts for writing

  > In virtually every other form of typography, the responsibility of alignment is given to the typesetting application, not the font. If source code editors can highlight syntax, they could also interpret tabs and syntax to create true, adjustable columns of text. https://input.djr.com/info/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• MonoLisa – A Font Designed for Developers

  > And they're absolutely right. But it begs the first-principals question-- why code using a monospace font? Today, every major editor that isn't terminal-based supports proportional width fonts beautifully. There was a whole "coding font" family designed around the idea that we should be using proportional fonts for this, and it makes a great case... https://input.djr.com/info/ ...except that just about every... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• JetBrains Mono – the free and open-source typeface for developers

  Also you can think out of the box and realize that you may not need a monospaced font for development, but a font that has the advantages of monospaced font. I've been using Input Sans for years now. See at: https://input.djr.com/info/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Coding with Character – Monospaced fonts can be playful and fun

  Input Sans is a great proportional coding font, but it isn't quite my favorite. That would be Trebuchet++, my personal font that started as Trebuchet MS with a bunch of customizations to my taste. (I wish I could distribute it; now I will have to find a way to do that.) But the Input Manifesto (that's what I'll call it) has a wonderful explanation of how proportional fonts are beneficial for code:... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago
