FontForge
Fontforge is the tool I used to create and what I use to maintain my 3270 font, https://github.com/rbanffy/3270font.
It has that 1990's Unix workstation vibes, but, if I didn't like vintage tech, I wouldn't make a 3270 terminal font.

Ligatures in programming fonts: hell no
Is there a way to add programming ligatures to an existing font, similar to how Nerd Font patches existing fonts to add useful terminal glyphs like the Powerline symbols¹? I would love to have a ligatured version of that font https://github.com/rbanffy/3270font
1) the last sentence of the article implies that the author of the article abhor them as much as programming ligatures. I don't understand why but preference in taste, color, esthetic are not objective, nor absolute, so I am not the one to judge him.

https://github.com/rbanffy/3270font
Being distributed with Debian and downstreams, 11 years old, with 1.5K stars and 60+ forks is, by far, my most popular open source thing. My biggest shame is that it's not software, but a font that mimics the look of IBM's 3278-2 terminals.
And, of course, it's the font I use for terminals on all my machines.

MonoLisa – A Font Designed for Developers
Sorry, but no IDE comes with a proper 3278-like font. Not even IBM's Developer for z/OS comes with one (they commissioned that other font called Plex... who would take seriously a font named after a media player?).
Luckily, everyone can get one at https://github.com/rbanffy/3270font.

> 80 should be fine for most single lines of good code in most languages.
C++ with even a modest template will flow over 80 without much effort.
I'm now using the condensed width font Iosevka font [1] with 160 chars as my max width in clang-format and indents at 1.
After a few days of using it, I'm converted. It was a bit odd looking at first, but I guess that's brain plasticity at work.

Monaspace
Sadly I think that because of that flag it does not enable ligatures.
I was able to see ligatures and text healing in vim running in a patched st* though. I really like it thanks! The text healing only moves the line subtly as I type and when I cursor over there are no droppings from the widened 'm' for example. It's well thought-out for code.
If I could ask for a feature it would be to select some variants, like angular 0 with reverse slash or to leave the ! in the != ligature. To see what I mean: https://github.com/be5invis/Iosevka/blob/main/doc/stylistic-...

I had no idea that one company basically owns every font
Iosevka is a fantastic open-source font that's fully customizable. I have replaced the fixed font on all of my devices and apps to a custom Iosevka build I made, and I don't think I'll ever turn back.

Unicode Character “𝕏” (U+1D54F)
Misremembered about Iosevka: I requested support for a few other BQN characters after noticing it already had the double-struck ones (https://github.com/be5invis/Iosevka/issues/870). The other three were requests or contributions (drew 3270's 𝕏 myself!) explicitly in connection with BQN.

JetBrains Mono Typeface
Nothing beats Iosevka (https://github.com/be5invis/Iosevka) for me. It's narrow yet super readable, making great use of screen real estate. Lots of customization, ligatures, weights, and a nerd font patch for terminal.
