fantasque-sans VS FiraCode

I like it a lot! Definitely in the camp of “comic sans is over-hated for poor reasons, and might even have legibility benefits for dyslexia”, and I considered a few comic sans inspired monospaced fonts before settling on Source Code Pro. The leaders were Fantasque (https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans/) and Comic Code (https://tosche.net/fonts/comic-code). (Comic Code’s creator actually links to the font you linked, Comic Mono, as an example of a free font with the same spirit!)

Ultimately I found that anything descended from or inspired by comic sans ended up a little too busy for my eyes.

If paying for a font isn't your thing but you're curious this is a free version I used to use of a similar idea. https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans

For Emacs I use Fantasque Sans Mono, which has a slashed zero and some other good features (e.g. clear difference between 1 and l).

I thought it would be silly or I would hate it, but the comic sans like nature of Fantasque Sans Mono really surprised me and worked well for coding/IDE use (especially in Python): https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans

I know you didn't ask but I have mild dyslexia and a friend turned me on to the font he uses for coding called Fantasque Sans. I found it to be pleasantly readable like Comic Sans without being as stylistically offensive.

Fantasque Sans (https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans) - I love it and use it for years in all editors! For terminal I use a patched variant of Ubuntu Mono.

IME, this is like the golden age of terminal apps in general and macOS-compatible ones in particular. There are several really good terminals for macOS:

[iTerm2 app](https://iterm2.com/)

[Kitty terminal](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/)

[WezTerm terminal](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/index.html)

[Alacritty](https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty)

My daily driver is WezTerm…

- Runs on Linux, macOS, Windows 10 and FreeBSD

- [Multiplex terminal panes, tabs and windows on local and remote hosts, with native mouse and scrollback](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/multiplexing.html)

- [Ligatures](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode#fira-code-monospaced-font...), Color Emoji and font fallback, with true color and [dynamic color schemes](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/config/appearance.html#colors).

- [Hyperlinks](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/hyperlinks.html)

- [Searchable Scrollback](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/scrollback.html) (use mouse wheel and `Shift-PageUp` and `Shift PageDown` to navigate, Ctrl-Shift-F to activate search mode)

- xterm style selection of text with mouse; paste selection via `Shift-Insert` (bracketed paste is supported!)

- SGR style mouse reporting (works in vim and tmux)

- Render underline, double-underline, italic, bold, strikethrough (most other terminal emulators do not support as many render attributes)

- Configuration via a [configuration file](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/config/files.html) with hot reloading

- Multiple Windows (Hotkey: `Super-N`)

- Splits/Panes (Split horizontally/vertically: `Ctrl-Shift-Alt-%` and `Ctrl-Shift-Alt-"`, move between panes: `Ctrl-Shift-ArrowKey`)

- Tabs (Hotkey: `Super-T`, next/prev: `Super-Shift-[` and `Super-Shift-]`, go-to: `Super-[1-9]`)

- [SSH client with native tabs](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/ssh.html)

- [Connect to serial ports for embedded/Arduino work](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/serial.html)

- Connect to a local multiplexer server over unix domain sockets

- Connect to a remote multiplexer using SSH or TLS over TCP/IP

- iTerm2 compatible image protocol support, and built-in [imgcat command](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/imgcat.html)

- Kitty graphics support

- Sixel graphics support (experimental: starting in `20200620-160318-e00b076c`)

I use Konsole without any problem. Check the font. I recommend you to use one from here: https://www.nerdfonts.com/font-downloads. I personally use FiraCode medium patched with this tool to change the @ and the & symbols (ss03 and ss05). If you like that font, here you could get the codes to match your needs https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode

Fira Code with Ligatures Enabled but also Ligatures Limited - (as per wiki), to make sure those Ligatures are not where you don't want them to be.

Seriously though this is my recommendation: https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode

https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode give it try

I was the same until I started using Fira Code and don't think I'll ever go back to anything else. the ligatures are worth it
