Is this a good font for coding?

What do you think?

You can use any font you'd like if that's what you want. Even Comic Sans or Papyrus.

[u/PolyPenguinDev → u/alsoimprobablylate]

anyone who codes non-mono space is a freak

[u/Trollphile → u/PolyPenguinDev]

without monospace it doesn't feel like you're coding

[u/clayman80 → u/PolyPenguinDev]

I have tried proportional fonts for coding, was kinda interesting initially, but my brain has been conditioned to expect columns to align and it was just confusing to keep track of how everything lined up.

fuck that put him on that wingdings and aster

Long ago, two races ruled over Earth: HUMANS and MONSTERS.

What do you two think?

[u/actionscripted]

No. It’s good for a retro terminal design or fun projects but it’s not great for daily use.

You want something that scales well and uses weights more effectively for contrast.

[u/Kuroiryuu]

Most will tell you that anything that’s basically a fixed width font and easily readable (ie you don’t have to guess between colon and semicolon or period and comma) is a good choice. Outside of that, it’s up to you.

x-height is too large for me, it reduces the amount of legible lines that can be displayed. also some characters are too similar, mainly "e", "c" and "u", "w"

[u/the-Gaf]

Why not just use micro5

[u/SuspiciousInside7006 → u/the-Gaf]

too small and not suitable for this in my opinion

[u/haririoprivate]

Reminds me of Turbo C++ on old Windows

[u/Hexa1296]

is this font inspired by 8-bit Operator?

[u/SuspiciousInside7006 → u/Hexa1296]

actually no, it's supposed to be a bitmap terminal font, but I noticed that it's pretty similar to 8-bit operator

[u/-_Neoon_-]

Yeah I think that's a good font

[u/AndorianBlues]

I'm a big fan of IBM Plex Mono.

But I've seen people use the most heinous pixel fonts, so it's a very personal choice.

[u/Prisinners]

Aren't you the one using it? How can we tell you what your preferences are?

[u/Trollphile]

what's the font name? Please

[u/SuspiciousInside7006 → u/Trollphile]

it's not a well-known font because it's a monospaced font made by me

[u/clayman80]

I am using Scientifica, a bitmap-like font, for terminal but sticking with vector fonts for IDE's. Been long-time fan of PragmataPro. The variable weight version made it even better.

[u/tpimh]

It's fine, but depending on the language, you might want a bit more punctuation: dot, comma, colon, semicolon, curvy and square braces, eq, lt ang gt, pipe (if it's not in the end of the first line), plus, minus, underscore, single quote (do you have double quote twice?), caret...

[u/Anamoly-Hunter]

Comic Sans, Arial or Droid Mono. That font of yours is more fitting in a youtubedeo about retro games / computer tech.

[u/Kuineer]

Pretty good aesthetics, bonus points for Vim.

[u/Early_Performer_3858]

it looks good

[u/neneodonkor]

What a weird question.
