MS can't really win against its own Consolas. If you haven't tried Consolas, you owe it to yourself to give it a try. Would be cool if MS opensourced that, if they can.
I prefer proportional fonts for reading and writing code, and my current favorite is another Microsoft font, Trebuchet MS.
But when I need a monospaced font, like in a terminal, Consolas is it.
Did anyone look at some code in Visual Studio with this font. You'll be surprised how `!=` looks like with this font (C++), it's pretty cool [and I've never seen anything like it before]!

Consolas has been my favorite monospaced font for years. I prefer proportional fonts for reading and writing code, and my current favorite is another Microsoft font, Trebuchet MS. But when I need a monospaced font, like in a terminal, Consolas is it.
You mean monospaced font? I’m curious why you use proportional fonts when writing code but not in your terminal.

With the typo corrected, yes I do prefer proportional fonts (and as mentioned especially Trebuchet MS), and all the editors I use support them. I just find them much more readable to my eyes than monospaced. Except in a terminal where apps assume monospaced font - so that's where Consolas shines.
Microsoft is just on a roll when it comes to open source. - Windows Terminal is pretty solid, and fast. Dare I say, nearing rxvt-unicode/kitty speed. There are some remaining terminal corruption with tmux + vim sessions, but soon enough it'll be replacing hyper/conemu for me. - WSL 2 alleviates file system issues that plagued WSL. I recently wiped debian off my Thinkpad because there's no point, I get everything I ne…

It looks different from that, let's have the spoiler: it looks like '=/=', but with the equal signs attached and the forward slash just 'on top' of it.

I think you're trying to describe an elongated `≠`?
