    > 80 should be fine for most single lines of good code in most languages.

    C++ with even a modest template will flow over 80 without much effort.

    I'm now using the condensed width font Iosevka font [1] with 160 chars as my max width in clang-format and indents at 1.

    After a few days of using it, I'm converted. It was a bit odd looking at first, but I guess that's brain plasticity at work.

    Sadly I think that because of that flag it does not enable ligatures.

    I was able to see ligatures and text healing in vim running in a patched st* though. I really like it thanks! The text healing only moves the line subtly as I type and when I cursor over there are no droppings from the widened 'm' for example. It's well thought-out for code.

    If I could ask for a feature it would be to select some variants, like angular 0 with reverse slash or to leave the ! in the != ligature. To see what I mean: https://github.com/be5invis/Iosevka/blob/main/doc/stylistic-...

    Iosevka is a fantastic open-source font that's fully customizable. I have replaced the fixed font on all of my devices and apps to a custom Iosevka build I made, and I don't think I'll ever turn back.

    Misremembered about Iosevka: I requested support for a few other BQN characters after noticing it already had the double-struck ones (https://github.com/be5invis/Iosevka/issues/870). The other three were requests or contributions (drew 3270's 𝕏 myself!) explicitly in connection with BQN.

    Nothing beats Iosevka (https://github.com/be5invis/Iosevka) for me. It's narrow yet super readable, making great use of screen real estate. Lots of customization, ligatures, weights, and a nerd font patch for terminal.

    > Monospace Iosevka contains various stylistic sets to change the shape of certain characters

    That's what's on display at the linked URL (if anyone else was confused)

    You can also select variants for specific characters: https://github.com/be5invis/Iosevka/blob/main/doc/character-...
