It is a really good font, however, it just doesn't work for me on terminal & terminal based applications. Somehow I find that there is too little spacing between the lines.
There's one and only font that truly "works" in terminals IMO, and that's the classic VGA 8x16. http://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/fontlist/
This font has been my daily driver for at least a year. It has some similarities with Pragmata Pro (my previous font), but has evolved to have its own personality now. I build a custom version of the font with this command-line: $ make custom-config design='v-tilde-low v-asterisk-low v-underscore-low v-at-short v-zero-dotted term' && make custom This gives me: - Disabled ligatures (I don't like them for my coding fon…
I don't know what it is about this font but it doesn't feel monospaced. Using this font I constantly keep second guessing myself as to where I've placed whitespace. Maybe I just need to use it more, I don't know.
Spacing: How wide some specific characters are.
Default: The default variant with ligatures and semantic full-width glyphs.
Terminal: Exact monospaced font without ligatures and full-width glyphs. Since some environments cannot interpret Iosevka as monospaced, and have difficulties with ligatures included, you can use Iosevka Term as an alternative.Do you know that all letters in Iosevka are EXACTLY 1/2 em wide? For ASIAN users, you can use THIS and preserve your perfect alignment.
So the "m" glyph is half as wide as itself?

Glancing at it I'm not sure if I would immediately be comfortable with it - it's a much narrower glyph than the type I'm used to. I think the lower width:height ratio is part of your whitespace issue, combined with the seemingly liberal kerning.
it's a much narrower glyph than the type I'm used to. Exactly this. Maybe if I'd be staring at it for days it would be ok, but right now it feels uncomfortable to read, to the point I'm probably not even going to try. Then again, just like the other commenter I always come back to Consolas or something so similar that it's hard to distinguish. On a sidenote: what is the font is this textbox I'm typing in?

Leading and width is configurable, actually :)
I might not be very advanced user. Configurable how? When generating fonts? Or in an editor? Most editors that I use do not have these configuration options.

What color scheme are you using there?

Why do you dislike ligatures in your coding font? Just curious.
Maybe I should give it a try again though!
