I feel this typeface will run hotter than an Apple mono typeface but underperform in comparison to an AMD mono typeface
I'm still waiting for Intel to port to a monospace instruction set.
MISC. I like it. Good work.

#192One 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.
I'd love one, honestly. Fonts do get updates, especially fonts patched with the Nerd Fonts extensions... would love to be able to update mine in one go.

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.
I really like Courier New but I like DejaVu Sans Mono (https://dejavu-fonts.github.io/) more. :)

#194Why are people still using mono fonts in 2023? There are very few reasons not to love proportional fonts in your IDE.

It makes code indentation much more clear. Though what are the advantages of using non mono for coding? Are there clear advantages for that?

I am still looking for a proportional font where I can clearly distinguish to single quotes from a double quote, and distinguish a single quote followed by a double quote from the double followed by a single. Do you have some suggestions?

If you are only indenting the start of your lines (and not inside the lines), a proportional font is actually completely unproblematic.

#198Earlier quoted context omitted.
I suspect is just a bug: the ligature tables were copied from the regular variant, and perhaps no one noticed for some reason. Maybe the assumption was that the renderer would turn of ligature processing in monospace mode at the time, and the reference renderer did that?
I can't find any examples now, but I'm positive that there have been "coding" fonts which do this that have hit the front page of HN. Highlighted as a feature in the screenshots, even. Another example of form over function, to the utter detriment of function, IMHO.
Perhaps Fira Code?

But I think it's different: it uses double-width characters for two-character ligatures, so this doesn't break alignment.

> I want to see => not some ligature. But again that's subjective and there's room for all at the table.
The way you put this is funny, because your => renders as a ligature for anyone with a ligature font as their default font in their browser (me).

Courier makes my eyes bleed.
