Earlier quoted context omitted.
I have my own build of iosevka with my name in it. I've yet to find a better condensed programming font with ligatures, it's close to perfect already (for me).
When I looked at ligatured fonts a few months back I went with Monoid instead, it fits my uses better, and I was especially attracted to the triple-equal ligature for JS contexts (in Monoid, `===` is rendered as a long ≡ making it visually very distinctive from assignment or regular equality).

#92Hack isn't all that great. Here are tons of alternatives: https://github.com/chrissimpkins/codeface (Use Input)
WHY does codeface not show ligatures? They only have them in the mono space example? Hack is my second favorite, but just the last year I switched to Fira Code: monospaced font with programming ligatures. I like the zero being a slash as opposed to a dot but the rest is spot on for me. https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode#fira-code-monospaced-font...

#94Sorry, but nothing beats the good old IBM 3270 font. https://github.com/rbanffy/3270font

#95Previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10140728 Tl;dr: the monospsce font seems to be (have been) an almost direct copy of DejaVu Mono. I don't know how much has changed over the last 2 years.

#97I'm going to be honest... After a while, all of these programmer fonts start to look the same to me.

#100This is an infuriating experience on mobile. Show me white background and black text with your font. I'll be damned if I'm going to learn new paradigms in scrolling and waiting just to then notice I can't see anything anyway because it is a responsive 1080p screenshot of 12pt text.

Shouldn't it be possible to download a font via CSS only?
