Thanks for the victor mono recommendation. It looks really good! I was blown away by how narrow it was compared to other forms in the comparison tool.
Side note: it's a bummer that you never see Monaco on these comparison tools. Monaco has been my monospace font of choice for many years now despite never owning a Macbook: https://github.com/cseelus/monego

Jetbrains can't find Cascadia Code font.

Not sure what causes it, maybe the font was installed in a format JetBrains doesn't support? In any case, installing the TTF files from the github repo worked for me.
