Inconsolata. I always use it for the terminal. There's probably comfier fonts, but I gotta get over my dislike of dotted zeros first.

For terminals it generally needs to be monospace, but for regular text editing, usually any sans will do because of its readability.

What a fag lol

Terminus is perfect. Its only short falling is that it's too popular for Sup Forums

For FP languages with a shit tone of pipe operators like Haskell or Elm, ligartures are really handy.

I use deja vu sans and it's good.

>So in a source file that uses Unicode characters, how would you know if you're looking at a => ligature that’s shaped like ⇒ vs. Unicode character U21D2, which also looks like ⇒? The ligature introduces an ambiguity that wasn’t there before.
=> is double wide, is triple wide, etc.

>There are a lot of ways for a given sequence of characters, like “=>”, to end up in a source file. Depending on context, it doesn't always mean the same thing.
Never had a problem with this.

This retard is just shilling his own non-ligature font.

Pragmata Pro for me
I wish I could get the ligature version of the font for free, the free version I found doesn't produce ligatures in nvim or the terminal for some reason.

ProFont. Nothing better at small point sizes.

This article convinced me to get that font. Ligatures look so nice and all those objections are autistic.

fira code (right) seems better

Sucks that there isn't ligature support yet in some of the terminals on linux.

Works:
QTerminal, Konsole, Butterfly (browser terminal), Hyper (browser terminal)

Doesn't work:
gtkterm, guake, LXTerminal, sakura, Terminator, xfce4-terminal, and other libvte-based terminals (such as gnome terminal)

is it monospace though?

Osaka-Mono 16pt

This always bothered me.

Why does the equal sign have a dot in it?

Fira Mono

so you don't confuse it for a O

Paul Allen should kill himself with his shitty card

I can't stand Fira Code as a font, I despise its style. Are there any other fonts with ligatures worth looking at?
>tfw all I want is Consolas with ligatures

check out Hasklig

terminus

I quite enjoy Hack and Source Code Pro, but I use Fira Code Mono a lot for the ligatures.

Operator Mono for me

I really like Misc Fixed, but my screen is 1080p 13", so I can't get that font (or any font really) to be big enough. It looks almost okay at 18px, but at 20px it's really ugly, I guess due to scaling. Anyone else have this problem or know what to do? I am using arch with i3

kek

Fira for Sublime, Iosveka for terminal.

Used to use Envy Code R which is also pretty nice.

imagine being this autistic

When pixel density is that high, does vector/bitmap even make any difference?

Fraktur

Yeah ligatures are cool but Fira as a font is just fugly
