> 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.

I've been using Lilex recently to change things up from the more common options that I've used over the last few years.
One thing came to mind for a Bembo-like typeface that supports medieval glyphs is Junicode. It has all of the four and even has an alt look for eth, thorn, and yogh. Test them here.

> The tangent in (1) on how they contradict unicode could have been skipped as well
Not only because confusables already exist, but also (as I already said[1] the previous time this was posted) covering all ligatures used in all typographical styles is very much a non-goal of Unicode. The official position is that the font shaping layer[2] sits atop Unicodeās semantic representation and is free to ligate, spindle, or mutilate it for display however it prefers (at least for Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic itās a preference; other scripts canāt be rendered at all without doing it, such as Arabicābarring the legacy presentational formsāor Burmese[3]).
The only reason Unicode even has those ligatures is that some IBM encodings (which were more presentational in nature) encoded them, and IBM employees wrote a large part of the early standard (based on the decades of i18n experience they had at that point) and wanted roundtripping.

What is the font used in this gif? It looks like Droid Sans Mono, but M, s, a and r are not quite the same.
