#2The definitive nerd font is Computer Modern[0], i think.
Certainly it is true that i trust anything with lots of math in it more if it is typeset in CM. Problem sets feel downright homey after a while.

That is not what this link is. This is a link to a project that aggregates all popular font icons (font awesome, material, etc) into a single project.

#4Nerd Fonts is a terrific resource. The project does more than just aggregate, all Nerd Font variants are patched with extra glyphs and icons allowing for much more expressive and informative (and fun) terminal prompts. It's also a great source for text editor fonts. All fonts are offered in multiple formats making it easy to match your workspace across platforms.

I've found source code sans to be an excellent font for LaTeX, and the companion source code pro for code blocks. They are significantly more readable to me and to most people I know, though that may have to do with screens being much higher-resolution than when computer modern was created.
Here's my arm-chair hypothesis: the thin connecting lines (don't know the technical font term, though I'm sure one exists) showed up fine on low-res screens because they simply couldn't be made thinner than a certain amount. On high-res screens, they get much thinner, and my eyes have trouble tracking them. Easier to read on paper, though.

The technical term is "hairline," though that tends to get used primarily in fonts that have high stroke contrast, of which Computer Modern is most definitely an example.
Re: Nerd Fonts
#10I don’t understand at all.
Can someone explain why you’d want icons in the monospace font you use for development?
I thought those icons were mainly for building websites. But those are usually triggered with a CSS class, not embedded in source code.
What am I missing?
