Terminal: Courier Xcode (Code editor): Victor Mono Regular (Heard about it here): https://rubjo.github.io/victor-mono/

I use Victor Mono too. I like the compact spacing in this font. It works well when I increase my editor font size when sharing screen with my colleagues.

I like the ligatures (<=, !=, etc.).

I'm just posting this for all of us who don't care one bit or are content with the defaults. :)

I know an ugly font when I see one, but whatever JetBrains IDEs, macOS' Terminal and Xcode use is fine by me.

Source code pro: https://adobe-fonts.github.io/source-code-pro/

I use the "Sauce Code Pro" variant which includes a bunch of glyphs: https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/tree/master/patched-...

Similarly, the Hasklig font is just Source Code Pro with ligatures.

B 612 because it was designed for the cockpit of Airbus planes. Would feel even better if it wasn't a google font.

Uhh, it's available as TTF files from GitHub.

JetBrains Mono! Used to use Roboto Mono, because I liked how close it was to a standard sans-serif font, but JB Mono is similarly spaced and has the advantage of built-in ligatures and such.

Also, JBM is available almost everywhere, e.g. it comes with several mobile apps.

Offtopic.

Something seems wrong with HN.

My newest comments don't show up under "threads".

And curiously when I click on "threads" my karma counter is a few points lower than when I click on a random comment thread.

Iosevka Term Regular https://github.com/be5invis/Iosevka

I love that Iosevka is narrow (fitting more code panes on my screen) yet still makes all the glyphs clearly distinct.
