The way they talk about it makes it sound like they invented the written word, but that notwithstanding the fonts actually look really nice in my opinion.

Love Neon. Very easy to read.

No support for this yet in VSCode it seems.

Fonts are an OS thing. If you don't have support for it, that's because you haven't downloaded it yet.

Seems neat, I do love Sauce Code Pro though.

I personally use JetBrainsMono, it's my favourite. What do you guys think?

cool. ive wanted a monospaced times-alike like their Xenon here.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

This seems neat, too bad it requires IDE support. Hope JetBrains IDEs support it soon.

Looks nice! Is this going to become the default font in GitHub and VSCode?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Iosevka offers too much customization to leave it—especially removing ligature abuse.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

i don't see ligatures in apps i use, like notepad++, Windows Terminal, Notepad and Notepads, also shame it doesn't support powerline features

Would this work in vs code only?

Another one? Why didn’t they contribute fixes to an existing font family? 🙄

Neon looks good. The rest are awful.

Terminus is still my favorite monospaced font followed by Roboto Mono, so ignore me.

I personally like Argon a lot.

Radon kinda looks like a fancy Comic Sans

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

More fonts is nice, I'll give it a try
