The way they talk about it makes it sound like they invented the written word, but that notwithstanding the fonts actually look really nice in my opinion.

This is brilliant. Definitely going to try this tomorrow.

[–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Love Neon. Very easy to read.

[–] jelloeater85@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Seems neat, I do love Sauce Code Pro though.

[–] Swarfega@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No support for this yet in VSCode it seems.

[–] p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fonts are an OS thing. If you don't have support for it, that's because you haven't downloaded it yet.

I was talking about this...

I personally use JetBrainsMono, it's my favourite. What do you guys think?

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah it's the best one for my eyes, I use it everywhere.

cool. ive wanted a monospaced times-alike like their Xenon here.

[–] jbk@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago

This seems neat, too bad it requires IDE support. Hope JetBrains IDEs support it soon.

[–] toastal@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Iosevka offers too much customization to leave it—especially removing ligature abuse.

[–] randomaccount43543@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Looks nice! Is this going to become the default font in GitHub and VSCode?

[–] shotgun_crab@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

More fonts is nice, I'll give it a try

[–] jollyrogue@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Another one? Why didn’t they contribute fixes to an existing font family? 🙄

Neon looks good. The rest are awful.

Terminus is still my favorite monospaced font followed by Roboto Mono, so ignore me.

I personally like Argon a lot.

Radon kinda looks like a fancy Comic Sans

[–] maniel@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

i don't see ligatures in apps i use, like notepad++, Windows Terminal, Notepad and Notepads, also shame it doesn't support powerline features
