For a brief while I tried using Comic Sans in my IDE. I did that because it was made to be super readable. It was in fact super readable, but I just couldn't get over the lack of mono spacing. Then I switched to FiraCode and it's been great. I still use Comic Sans in all of my chat programs though (IMessage, Slack, IRC, etc.) I actually really enjoy it.
Check out Fantasque Sans Mono, it is a monospaced Comic Sans.
This rarely gets a mention but totally deserves one: Iosevka[0], a programming font with great ligatures, multiple weights, and customizable character variants to tune it to your preferences. It’s more slender than most blocky monotypes which makes it stand apart especially from more traditional choices like Monaco and Consolas. [0]: https://typeof.net/Iosevka/

If you liked that, then you may get a kick out of Comic Code, a fixed width variation of Comic Sans designed for coding: https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/tabular-type-foundry/comic-cod... I've been using it for a few months and really enjoy it!

I found it terrible, not only because of the surplus personality, but due to aesthetic and readability issues. Readability - the r looks to me closer to an i, not the i of this font but a generic i, I find it confusing and it slows me down. Aesthetically - the f character have space before it that in many combinations cuts a word to two, for example in the word delightful. Generally the font is mono-spaced, but the s…
I found it terribly incomplete. $40 and it can’t cover all four standard weights: regular, bold, italic, and bold italic. I believe it was last one, bold italic, that it was missing and the website is careful to obscure that fact.
This is a really hard feeling to explain, I wouldn't say that Monoid is easier or faster to read, but it distract me less. I feel like I am more focused on what I read while still being able to scan a file to find what I want.
what do you guys think is the best editor theme in bright light? I have been always using monokai but recently I have to work in bright light sometimes and it's quite hard to read.
The 3 main things I look for in a "coding font" are whether I can differentiate between i,I,l,L,1 and 0,o,O characters, whether or not it is readable at tiny font size (7px to 9px range on my display) and that it is a monospaced font. first and second are nice to have in any font. For over 4 years I have sworn by the excellent Fira Mono font by Mozilla more specifically FiraCode (variant with added ligatures), before…
I like Fira Code but it has too much flare for me. Microsoft recently came out with Cascadia Code which fits my bill. I don't know if it fits yours. It looks like you've already found your solution but I thought I'd pass this along anyway. https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code/releases
I'm a big fan of https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans/ the characters make me happy every day :)

Cascadia looks really nice, but I worry about fonts that combine two equals signs into one long one. I can imagine getting used to it, but until I did I'd be worried about assignment-vs-equality operator bugs
