Input Mono – A Typeface for Code, from Font Bureau

As a long-time Input Mono user, I have to say I've found it to be an extremely well designed typeface for my programming needs. It does not call attention to itself, but does its job of beautifully nonetheless. After a short acclimation period it simply faded into the background. There was never a time that I was disappointed in its rendering on mac, on either retina or regular displays. Would definitely recommend you give Input Mono a try.

This font is beautiful and has really nice options.

But it lets me with a bitter feeling: as a potential user, I won't even consider using it because non-ASCII latin letters are not treated first-class: it's nice that the letter `i` has all these form variants, but they're not applied as soon as a diacritic comes into play (`ï`, `î`, etc.).

The same letter with and without a diacritic (eg. `e` and `é`) don't even look the same, letting the user with the feeling that this potential need has not even been considered.

EDIT: According to http://input.fontbureau.com/info/ maybe I'm missing something and my criticism only applies to the online demo.

I'm using Operator Mono as my programming font for over a year now and never looked back. For me it's the most beautiful looking font (at least on Linux/Mac). I've tried it once on Windows but the hinting was somehow broken. Im also using the italic monospaced version for code comments and never saw anything similar in any other font . Unfortunately it's not very cheap though

After I tried so many coder friendly fonts (nerd fonts and others). I only use patched font from https://github.com/gabrielelana/awesome-terminal-fonts/tree/... because it's the only fonts that can do oh-my-git style https://github.com/arialdomartini/oh-my-git

If you need other code fonts except using oh-my-git, you can take a look at nerd fonts https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts

Another nice configurable monospace font is Monoid [0]. It has optional "Programming" ligatures support Like Fira Code. Seems it was Quite overlooked here [1].

Wow, these guys get it. Customize the "il1" just the way you like it, preview with themes (colors), customize up the width, height and weight just the way that looks perfect on your screen.

I use the non-monospace Input Sans for my IDEs and personally absolutely love it. It's not really an issue for me that I'm losing out on vertical alignment, but there really is something to be said for being able to read code more like a sentence with recognizable word shapes.

I love "Deja Vu Sans Mono". Free, simple, clean, beautiful.

No matter how many times I tried new fonts, I've always got back to the basics, the old and simple ones that I was using in the first place, till I started using Roboto Mono [1]. This is a free and great font for terminal and editors. I am using it for years now.

Converted. Particularly I chose the round a, the goggly g, the curvier {, the i with serifs on the both sides at the bottom, and the ell with the bottom curve. I really like that the miniscules are higher than the bottom half of the line, makes it more readable with smaller font sizes and from a good distance.

One thing is though, use images on your font demo pages, instead of using styled text with that fonts: some users (e.g. me) disable web pages setting fonts. I had to go and revert that setting temporarily to see what this one was like.

I can really recommend Hack: http://sourcefoundry.org/hack/

What I love about Input Mono is the customisation options for download. So nice to be able to live preview and pick all the options I want. Very cool.

Currently I'm using Anka Coder Condensed: https://code.google.com/archive/p/anka-coder-fonts/downloads

I've tried to get a similar number of lines/length of lines on screen with this font, but wasn't able to.

The configuration is very, very, very cool. The only downside I see is that the weight steps are a bit too spaced... the 2nd position is not bold enought, the 3rd is too much. But I suppose you can't satisfy everyone ! I've been very happy with Source Code Pro semibold anyway :)

Beautiful but appears to lack programming glyphs, These days I can't live without them, my favourites depending on context are Fira Code and Pragmata Pro.

What I'd really love is the Bloomberg font with glyphs, I've even started looking at how to add them!

I had to jump through some hoops to get that though.

The earliest devices I used had a narrower Zero than Oh, so I'm a bit disappointed that this font goes the other way around. I've always thought the slashed zero was ugly, and the dotted zero even uglier. Other than that I really like it.

I find this hard to read personally, but I'm always glad people are producing type. And the choices with l and i etc, that thing is such a fantastic idea. Will implement something similar when I finally get around to making a typeface.

The font is nice but I find the letter spacing both too condensed and irregular, i.e. or operator || has no kerning even when not monospaced

I used Input Mono for quite a while, but the '8' and 'B' characters are too easy to confuse.

I wonder if it's possible to add ligatures to this font. It's almost perfect for me.

I like this one more than the Iosevka one.

So many of these fonts can't tell if they want to be a web font for use in a site or a locally installed font for personal use. By going all in on the personal use side, this one gets it right. I'm not even concerned about licensing because I'm just using a customized font for coding in my own editor of choice. Nice job.
