I use Noto Sans Mono because it's got a lot of glyphs, it's not so "busy" looking, and I use the variable font features:

#152Still prefer consolas for some reason
Lucida Console looks way better for me in the command prompt. The rest take up too much space or don't look as good.
Re: Intel One Mono Typeface
#153The curly braces are rather weird. In my opinion, the pinnacle of FOSS monospace typefaces is JetBrains Mono.
It is the best monospace font ever. I've tried a whole host of programming fonts, but nothing is hinted as well for Windows as Jetbrains Mono. It made me move off of Consolas, despite a decade of having gotten used to it.
I tried all of these out, still prefer Lucida Console for the command prompt. It seems to be the most compact despite staying readable. All the rest require a bigger font for some reason, otherwise they are hard to read. Was that different from your experience?
Re: Intel One Mono Typeface
#154One thing I really appreciate about fonts is the low-stakes nature of trying them out. Installing is easy, and doesn't take much space, you set your editor and try it out. There's no lock-in, switching back takes zero effort. So I'm always keen to give them a go, some stick, some don't. For what it's worth I'm in the no-ligature group. I want to see => not some ligature. But again that's subjective and there's room f…
Thank deity that we don't have package managers for fonts.

#155Am I the only one who's a fan of what you might call the "default" monospace fonts on Apple and Google platforms? I very slightly prefer SF Mono (the Apple one) and use it on my Macs, but since it's not free I'll use Roboto Sans Mono (the Google one) in my Unix envs. I find this also helps give my brain a little visual cue as to which environment I'm working in.

#156IBM 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 like Plex, but for some reason dislike fonts that put a dot in the middle of the zero.
If the O and the 0 are so similar that you need a decoration, then it's wrong.
If a decoration is absolutely necessary, then I prefer a slash. A big, meaty slash. Not one that is confined inside the zero.

#159I use comic sans in my IDE to keep drab programming things lighthearted. Reduces the urge of others to do paired programming.
Re: Intel One Mono Typeface
#160I don't love the aggressive curly braces. Does anyone else? I feel like the whole typeface here is consistently bland, and then there's the angry curly braces that pop out of nowhere.
Fully agreed, these irritating curly braces are the reason to reject it.
