Intel has a little known open source sans serif too[1].
It's quite beautiful and has a DIN feel to it[2].
It's been around forever and maintenance was recently discontinued.

Why don't you just disable them? Or does your editor not give you the option?
I wasn't aware that you could disable them, I thought this was handled entirely by the font and not by the editor. Living and learning. Might try JetBrains Mono again without ligatures this time, after I finish my trial of IBM Plex.
Ah, no, I phrased that in a rather callous way. I'm sorry – my apologies.
If you do decide to give it a try, I hope your editor makes it easy to configure (since they really run the gamut) and that you have another typeface to enjoy!

To this day I haven't seen a monospaced font superior to Courier New. And before anyone asks: No, this isn't a meme. Yes, I'm 300% serious.
There's a vectorized version of Monaco with pixel-perfect hinting when anti-aliasing is disabled that I've been using for years now. I don't remember where I got it from though. It's beautifully legible at any size.
I was trying to remember the Apple font I used to download for use with IDEs in Linux back in the day because it was by far the best for programming I'd ever seen. Monaco must have been the one.

#74IBM released a typeface a couple of years ago with much marketing fan fare: https://www.ibm.com/plex/ https://github.com/IBM/plex On another note, are there any notable examples of AI-generated mono-spaced programmer fonts?
I think I just found my new favorite font. I'm absolutely addicted to grotesque sans-serif, I used to use Roboto everywhere, but now I'm currently using Cantarell (GNOME's default font, a humanist typeface) as my desktop font and as an overwrite font for every single website I open, but I might just start using Plex Sans and Plex Mono now. Thank god it's OFL. I still find it fascinating that there are so many differe…
Impressive. Very nice.
Let's see Paul Allen's font.
Re: Intel One Mono Typeface
#75Very glad to see more “low x height” monospace fonts (x height is the height of lowercase letters relative to capital letters; I haven’t checked to be sure but my eyes tell me this is on the lower side). Source Code Pro has been my go-to for a very long time, and it has always bothered me that Apple opted for higher x-heights in their San Francisco re-design of Helvetica (which already has a high x height to begin wi…
What do you think of https://dtinth.github.io/comic-mono-font/
Two story lower case 'a' and simple lower case 'g' FTW.
Three story 'a' and four story 'g' drive me nuts. They seem overwrought, esp for monospaced coding fonts.
Individual preferences are weird.
Re: Intel One Mono Typeface
#76The curly braces are rather weird. In my opinion, the pinnacle of FOSS monospace typefaces is JetBrains Mono.
I stopped setting custom font for coding once I switched over to the JetBrains IDEs. It's good!

You have to be trolling us. Literally the fish that got away story for fonts.
If you want to go fishing on this, one hole is Apple's old low-end printer line. The printer disks had expanded versions of the 'city' fonts which never shipped with the OS.

I'd love to see it

You'll love Linus Boman's take on it then [1]
If you love neo-grotesques, you can't do much better than Neue Haas Grotesk or Atlas Grotesk [2]. Both are by CommercialType, both cost a pretty penny, but both are absolutely amazing.
I fully agree with you about wanting beautiful and pleasing characters though. It's my gift to myself for being paperfree. If I'm going to read on screen instead of printed, I want the best possible experience. 32" 4K display, professional fonts, nice software for writing in etc.
Re: Intel One Mono Typeface
#80Why do hardware companies release fonts? It’s not snark, I am legitimately curious. Is it marketing, branding, something else?
Not what your point is, but I'm all for it. I love Cascadia Code, Jetbrains Mono, JuliaMono. I love IBM Plex Sans, I love Source Serif and Source Sans. I love Cooper Hewitt. We live in truly the golden age of reading text on screen.
