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 / 6 months 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 / 8 months 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 / 8 months ago
I’ve used Ligaturizer [2] to update the font to include ligatures. I believe the ligatures are even taken from FiraCode itself. I wonder how it’s fitting it to the width of a character as it’s much narrower, but still monospaced. - [1] https://input.djr.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
Hi! I’ve returned once more to recommend the Input family of typefaces. https://input.djr.com/ I’ve been code using Input Sans a (gasp!) proportional coding font for years now and I love it. Input also comes in a monospaced version FWIW. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
I literally just switched to Input Mono on my Macbook, and I'm loving it: https://input.djr.com/. Source: 11 months ago
Weird, I'm not sure. I linked to the customization page directly, maybe that caused some strange issue? If you go to https://input.djr.com directly and click "preview" you should end up where I intended to send folks. Source: 12 months ago
This isn't bad looking (those curly braces, though), but I still prefer input because it's so customizable and therefore easy on as many eyes as possible. Source: 12 months ago
Input Mono1, Iosevka2, my custom fork of Iosevka that makes it look like Input Mono but with more glyphs3 ;-). Source: 12 months ago

In addition here is another fine font family for coding Https://input.djr.com/. Source: about 1 year ago
Input Mono [1] is beautiful, and kinda looks like Berkeley Mono. It too is paid for commercial use, but it's free for personal. I used Input for a very long time until I made my own blend of Iosevka [2] that looks very similar—just with more exotic symbols. [1]: https://input.djr.com/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
If you manage Linux Gaming Central, please, consider switching the typeface to something proportional, maybe DejaVu Sans, PT Sans, Open Sans, or, if you want to have a programming or terminal look, Input Sans Narrow (if you are willing to pay for it) or Recursive. Source: over 1 year ago
I use Input font https://input.djr.com/ Which I have not seen used much around but I like it. Source: over 1 year ago
As an aside, while there's tons of code-oriented fonts these days, I recommend Input, which makes a pretty good case for the use of proportional fonts in coding. Source: over 1 year ago
I use Input sans condensed for all programming languages because I prefer non squeezed display for wide characters, except for Go lang, which I used Input mono condensed instead since the auto formatter use space as comments offsets https://input.djr.com/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
Yes, this font costs money, and yes it is worth spending money on. There are a lot of nice free fonts out there, and I personally used Input before, but there is just something special about MonoLisa that cannot be put into words. It just feels clean and extremely legible. Their website says it was designed "to improve developers' productivity and reduce fatigue" and I think they nailed it! - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago
My preferred font family for most things on the desktop is Input. I also install the Droid and Noto families. Source: about 2 years ago
> As software developers, we always strive for better tools but rarely consider font as such. Meanwhile, I look at new coding fonts on at least a monthly basis. Nothing beats Input Mono [^1] for me; I actually like wider fonts, so I might take this one out for a spin. [^1]: https://input.djr.com/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
Since I've not seen that spacing issue on any of my browsers or Linux platforms on Apple's web sites or any others I can recall recently, I have no useful insight to offer. I am very fond of Input and tend to use it for almost everything. Source: about 2 years ago
I also like Input. Just be sure to choose the unambiguous glyphs when you download it. Source: about 2 years ago
