source-code-pro VS noto-emoji

Hack is very underrated and awesome. Fira Code is nice, so is Adobe Source Code Pro [0], and Iosevka [1]. Yet, Berkeley is truly at its own level.

I've been using the free Source Code Pro (GitHub source). While it works well for coding of course, I find it is also pleasing to read from for large quantities of text. The characters are distinct (no confusion between 0O lI etc.) but understated, which is what you want for something you read thousands of words with every day.

Adobe has published several open-source fonts in their Source Sans family, and this one is monospaced and made explicitly for UI. Though the regular weight will work for most programming applications, a range of weights is available if you need them.

I prefer Source Code Pro for the terminal:

I went with Fira Code, but Source Code Pro is also good. More good fonts.

A couple of typefaces, comic neue and adobe source code pro - these are just hyperlinks; I don't install these automatically for some reason -

Source Code

Remove the package then download the VAR archive from their Github and extract the .ttf files to ~/.local/share/fonts or ~/.fonts

If file size is a concern and you intend to use Noto Color Emoji strictly only in Firefox, you may try the Noto-COLRv1-emojicompat.ttf from https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-emoji/tree/main/fonts (5MB).

I hope some smart person gets this working on Windows 11: https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-emoji

It’s probably easier to just use the Noto Emojis instead of trying to convert the format Apple uses to something Windows can understand.

There is a NotoColorEmoji_WindowsCompatible font here. However, I was not able to make it work... Could you have a look at it?

Same. Digging the repository issues I found this: https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-emoji/issues/265

Install the font Noto Color Emoji: https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-emoji/raw/main/fonts/NotoColorEmoji.ttf

I am looking for a Noto Sans font containing all the color emojis. I want to use it for the user interface because Whatsapp/Signal notifications are full with non printable emoji characters with the default Noto Sans font. I found https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-emoji but for some reason the spaces are way too wide so it is not usable. Is there any other good font which can be used for the user interface and contains all (or most) color emojis?
