I wish comparisons like this would include unicode coverage. I have code that uses the symbols, arrows, etc. to avoid needing image assets. Or some non-English text that need accented characters or the CJK glyphs.

The easiest solution would be to allow custom text (with user selectable syntax highlighting).

Maybe it’s just me and my old IPhone 12 Mini, but I really find it annoying when browsing to something called Coding Font to immediately face a popup with no “close” button that shows me a big unrelated ad at the same time as promoting an app I have no reason to believe I might even want to look at. What’s even more annoying is then having to only discover that it’s the greyed out (seemingly inactive) top margin that will close the damn thing, rather than pop open the ad’s link, an auto playing YouTube video, or whatever the help ProductHunt is used for.

Before seeing the actual content I’m presented 3 ways to bounce to another domain, and no obvious way to actually see the content.

Oh, and it’s back on every refresh.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Iosevka is a great font, but it has SO MANY options, that I doubt one person's Iosevka is super comparable to anothers. =) I know I certainly customized the heck out of mine.

Oh snap! It does, but the default is also awesome, I use it default. Out of curiosity, what options do you use? I might wanna try some.

Not the person you replied to, but I use Iosevka Fixed which is default except everything is always fixed-width and there are no ligatures.

I like Terminus

I used that for about twenty years before switching to Jetbrains Mono, perhaps worth checking out if you're looking for something more modern (ttf, ligatures, a bit more modern design thought about disambiguation, etc).

I hid the names and arrived at my second favorite font. And then I noticed my favorite font is missing!! You should add Iosevka, it's on GitHub. If you use Google fonts or webfonts or something for this to be easier, I also have it as a webfont on my GitHub.

Yeah, you can (almost) make Iosevka feel any way you want, and it would be nearly impossible to do it justice in a comparison like this.

Here are the options I currently use: https://www.jonashietala.se/iosevka/
