  • The last time I spent time looking into a font I ended up going with MesloLGS + NerdFont. I never see people recommend it or talk about it but its been perfect for me. I wonder if theres been new developments that make other fonts better, or if its just a little old and not promoted anymore. I use it for programming and all my terminals and haven't found a reason to bother with anything else

  • Have been following this site for years. I also like checking the repo's commit history page [0] which is essentially a "what's new" for programming fonts.

    I also find monospaced fonts ideal for immersive reading due to their crude, un-decorated vibe which is good for keeping attention. So whenever I want to read a long article but don't bother saving it to Instapaper, I turn on the Dark Reader add-on, which changes all web fonts to a monospaced font I specified and cover the page with a sepia tone.
