The ligaturized -> is two characters wide and is pretty easy to tell apart.
So it looks like U+27F6 ⟶ rather than U+2192 →?

Triplicate has a nice look, but l (lowercase L) and 1 (one) are indistinguishable, which is an immediate non-starter for me in a programming font. ( CORRECTION: there is apparently a code version that disambiguates these and others. See comments. That means this probably would be a candidate font for me, except: ) I finally just paid for Pragmata Pro, and haven't regretted it. The unicode support is incomparable, and…
There's a code variant that disambiguates 1 and l (and others).
My favourite monospaced font is Triplicate https://practicaltypography.com/triplicate.html >: the only true serif monospace that I know of (though I have a vague feeling I found one other at some point). Every other serif monospace I know of is a slab serif. Triplicate’s variable stroke thickness is also exceedingly rare in monospaced fonts; almost everyone goes for uniform stroke thickness, as is customary with sans…

Which weight of Pragmata Pro did you purchase and use for emacs? Just wondering if I should get all of the weights which is super pricey or I only need Essential PragmataPro Regular/Bold.

There's a free monospace serif-looking font called Go (made for Go, the programming language), designed by Bigelow & Holmes: https://blog.golang.org/go-fonts
Unfortunately it isn't using a usual font license. It's not really clear under what conditions you can use/redistribute it.
> They are licensed under the same open source license as the rest of the Go project's software
Which I assume is this one: https://golang.org/LICENSE
I've tried most of these at some point over the past few years and eventually settled on JetBrains Mono. I love it. The story about how it was created is pretty interesting... https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/mono/ And yes, there's a powerline version. (Not affiliated with JetBrains in any way)

I find ttf fonts generally smudge the letters together and can make things hard to see. proggy[1] is quite good if misc-fixed[2] is not available. [1] https://proggyfonts.net/download/ [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed_%28typeface%29

I got the full version, but the nature of my job means I can claim a significant part of the cost against my PD funds (It's mostly for books, but I already own more unread technical books than I can complete within my expected lifespan. Thankfully they opened it up to allow software.) I think just the essential would be plenty for the majority of users.
