I always put new fixed-width fonts in iTerm to see how it looks. I cranked the vertical and horizontal spacing down, and it looks like I could have went another notch on the vertical.
Fira is on the right. It doesn't look bad, but it's a little cramped and thin for what I like.
I'm using it as my Sublime Text font, mostly as a trial. I'm digging it so far, in particular the funky '@'
Indeed. I have two quibbles with it, which I've already submitted on Github: the position of the asterisk and the shape lof the lower case r (looks like a small caps i).
Otherwise a very good font.
Agreed on the lowercase r. Tried replacing the Source Code Pro with Fira Mono in Sublime and this immediately stuck out as annoying to me.
Personally I'm not a fan of the & character in that image sample - at first I thought it was a 6.
Indeed. The curly brace needs to be little more pronounced. Other than that, it's a good alternative to Source Code Pro.
