This is a very nice looking font, I may have to try it out. I’ve pretty much stuck to Roboto Mono (with powerline for shell and ligature symbols [on/off] for editors) the last few years. I personally find it readable.

#12Going to take a lot to pry Ubuntu Mono from my hands, but I'm game for giving it a shot.

#13Used them for a couple years already. Input Mono Condensed!
Re: Input: Fonts for Code
#14I love this font for programming. Topped only by SF Mono, IMO.
Re: Input: Fonts for Code
#15Iosevka and Bitstream Vera have been my go-to's

#16For those who are interested, I can recommend the talk “Cracking the Code” given by the creator of Input, David Jonathan Ross, in which he talks about coding font history and some amazing things you can do with them in modern development environments: https://vimeo.com/166161405

#17Font selection is so personal and subjective, so really go with whatever you find suits your taste.
For me, it's Source Code Pro.

#18I wish there was an agreed upon way to extend fonts with icons. For example I found https://github.com/ryanoasis/vim-devicons which adds icons to Nerdtree (on the terminal) by leveraging nerdfonts (https://nerdfonts.com).
There also is awesome-terminal-fonts (https://github.com/gabrielelana/awesome-terminal-fonts). I feel if this was somehow standardized we would see much more vim and emacs plugins and cli tools support icons in the terminal.

#19Happy to see this here again. Input Mono has been my favorite programming font for the last years. This is saying quite a bit, as I tend to be very picky and regularly test other programming fonts. There is nothing else that is as readable and comfortable to use in the long term (my next-best font, and previous favorite, was Inconsolata).
I tried Input Mono and it looks and feels very "tall", taking up vertical space. Obviously, I don't know whether this is just a optical illusion or objectively true. I've found SF Mono from Apple to be the best coding font. It has a beautiful "r", slashed 0, l1 disambiguation and great rendering on MacOS. For Windows, I used FontForge to increase hinting and create .ttf versions - I am pretty sure this is violating A…
Hmm. That's strange. I find Input Mono to actually be a bit on the wide side, and I often switch to Input Mono Narrow in order to fit more on the screen. Now, Input Mono Narrow does feel "tall" (which is the point).
The nice thing is that you still have Condensed and Compressed if you want things even tighter :-)

I switch between Input and Fira Code as my mainstays based on whether I'm feeling like ligatures.
You may just wanna go with going between Fira Mono and Fira Code then for consistency - I run Fira Mono on my terminals and Code for the editor/IDE.
