I was a big fan of the Dank Mono for the longest time, but GitHub released a bunch of monospaced fonts this year and I've been loving Monaspace Krypton.

Monaspace: An innovative superfamily of fonts for code

I'd love to see a demo of how it might look used in practise, with multiple fonts used to display semantic meaning on a page of code. I see on the website they have a demo where you can switch between them (https://monaspace.githubnext.com/#learn-more) but it's not easy to imagine how it would look with them mixed on the same page

Turning on font "smart kerning" or "texture healing" in Emacs
4 projects | /r/emacs | 25 Nov 2023

The Commit Mono font has a feature that it calls "smart kerning". Monaspace has a similar feature that it calls "texture healing." Characters are moved around slightly, or swapped out for a slightly larger or smaller character to even out the spacing, for example, when a wide character like an 'm' is followed by a narrow character like an 'l'.

Pretendard Font
2 projects | /r/oneui | 24 Jun 2023

A new version of the Pretendard font, a fork of the Inter font, which is very close to the iOS font, has been released. https://github.com/orioncactus/pretendard Looks very nice on my Galaxy S23 phone. #Pretendard #Inter
Popular opinion: Mozilla Firefox should adopt all styles from Fiefox-UI-Fix by default.
