I would try it, if I didn't get a page-sized ad for another app, with no apparent way to make it go away...
Click somewhere outside the ad
I wish i had found that yesterday, would've saved a lot of time
nice tool
I ran through it a few times and ended up selecting Source Code Pro

I use Fira Code. It looks great and I really like the programming ligatures.

I use the Iosevka Term Nerd Font in all my stuff
Iosevka Term and Computer Modern For Articles
Really liked too, i just don't know where is the perfect place to use it yet, this thread gave too many good font's and i want to have a place for them too
Fira code or iosevka.
I’m here to throw Inconsolata into the mix, though I use Fira more frequently now from a compatibility perspective.

Ubuntu Mono.
I think it has support for most special characters, but some of the weirder symbols aren't there like a handful of IPA characters or emojis.
But you can always get backup fonts on your system just in case

One that I haven't seen here is Operator Mono. I use it everywhere I need monospaced fonts. It's paid, but since I don't need another font ever, it's worth it.
It looks really nice
OpenDyslexic. Can read it at any size and quickly.
I love the idea of dyslexic fonts but even than i always feel strange using than, maybe because i'm not dyslexic
You're not taking away from someone by using it. If anything, you're helping to normalize it for those that may need it more. I find it super useful. I discovered it when I saw it as a font on my Kindle. I was like.. is there a mono version?
I believe that i've seen it in a wolfgang channel video, and i hope that fonts like that start to be installed by default for those who need it
Yes, agree. That's why I think everyone should use them more. They're super helpful for all. I can make my font smaller and see just as well. If more people demand something like this then those that need it will have it.
Comic Sans is the answer.
You joke but comic mono is startlingly easy to look at…
Why am i still here? Just to suffer
Hasklig.
Which is Source Code Pro with ligatures.

Not a big fan of source code, but the ligatures are always welcome
Since nobody has mentioned yet: I use a proportional font (Go Regular) for programming. It's weird at first but it's a pretty interesting exercise. There's an interesting write up about using non-monospaced font on the Input font website.
+1 for Go and Input fonts. You have the same stack as me.
Hack within the terminal and Consolas for all my IDEs
Intel One Mono. It looks bizarre at first but it grew on me really fast and replaced Jetbrains Mono which I had been using for quite a while.
I really like it too, is bizarre but in a cool way, i'm not going to have it on my terminal, but it looks good on emacs
I’m running it on my terminal as well and very much enjoying it.
I like the Hack Font family. Doesn't have any problems with 0/O or I/l and displays äöüß fine for me
PragmataPro with ligatures
Highly recommend Menlo or Meslo LG S (An enhanced open source version of Menlo).
Outside of the "i" i liked how Meslo LG S looks, i think i've seen it been used in a game, but i can't remember which game was
