I've got used to SF Mono lately, looks really nice in terminal, and goes along with Fira Code when I change to it in Emacs GUI.

#62I 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.
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.
If anyone uses narrower fonts so they can see more on a single screen, here's exactly what you need: http://dotsies.org — It's a mysterious dot font that is not braille. Have fun (spoiler: I didn't succeed to use it).

Wow, thanks for sharing!

#64tl;dr: "from code" refers to the fact that you can regenerate the font with your own parameters. Cool image in the readme showing a bunch of different styles inspired by other fonts: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/be5invis/Iosevka/master/im...
Thanks for commenting with this. It was really the only thing I wanted to learn about this font and came to the comments first.

#65This 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…
Looks lovely in your screenshot but sadly looks pretty crap in Visual Studio 2017. Sigh.

#66Very nice; I find Input Mono from Front Bureau to be a bit more readable, though:

Another reason to use tabs...

#68How do Stylistic Sets work?
I like how ss08 looks.
Is there a Iosevka ss08 font download, or must I build it myself?

It's a feature of the font. For example in TextEdit, in the Font panel, you can open Typography window to adjust different stylistic sets.

I love how you can choose your flavor by web app and just download resulting font. No need for building it by yourself.
