i have been using Ubuntu Fonts for the past years and now every other font is ugly
like why does every font, except ubuntu, have these ugly af corners?
ubuntu font for comparison:
Inconsolata LGC with nerd-fonts. I edit all my text and code in Helix, a TUI editor, and having proper support for Cyrillic and Greek is important for me. Also, I like how it looks.
For real, a good font.
IBM Plex Sans/Serif/Mono everywhere!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a hard sell for a font.
This is the best font IMO. I used to use source code pro, but I switched to Plex a few years ago and it’s all I want to use now.
Any is it not variable?
Sans has a variable variant and the other two do not, I think.
I’m a JetBrains Mono fan. And whatever font I use has GOTTA have ligatures. I love ligatures.
I use Fira Code Retina. I like that it is not too light, not too bold. I’m also partial to Cascadia Code and DejaVu Mono.
For the GUI, I use Adwaita Sans in both my GNOME and XFCE computers.
Fira Code is seriously awesome. I love how it is delightfully quirky. Not too much, just enough to give it plenty of character without becoming weird, annoying, or hard to read.
I also really like how it is more wide than most. If I’m supposed to finish all my lines at 80 characters there’s no point in using something that condensed.
Actually, I would really like to find a similarly non-bland proportional character to use beside it.

Well, there’s Fira Sans, but I don’t know if it’s what you want. I like to use it for things like slides and titles, and I’ve used it as a GUI typography for some time.
Fira Code is my answer as well! I’ll use others for some variety, but it’s the favorite I always go back to.
Yep, been using Fira Code for years and I love it.
Yeah, Fira Code gang!
I really like Hack for monospace.
I am a big hack fan, I just don’t like to tell people as it’s a stupid name.
HELLO I AM HACK NICE TO MEET YOU

I used to use the Ubuntu Font until I found the glory of Recursive.
Knock knock. Do you have a moment to talk about Recursive font? What about the weighted Recursive Duotone Nerd Font that makes bold and commented sections casual font?
spends all day comparing fonts, instead of working
Damn you, Lemmy!!!
Yes, it’s fun and my brain can convince itself that it’s productive too. How can I work if I don’t have the perfect programming font?
Along the same lines as your link - I really enjoyed playing out this font tournament, and found a few new ones I like - https://www.codingfont.com/
Ah, great link! Thanks! I also decided to try out a new font! 😆
I hate the Ubuntu font soooooo much
There are dozens of us. Dozens!
Sarasa Gothic + Iosevka for just about everything
Hell yeah! The Ubuntu mono is really easy to read, and there aren’t that many sans-serif fonts that differentiate l and I well.
Gotta be unifont for me. Love those crispy pixels, and it manages to do monospace without being fugly as hell.
misc fixed
I think I’m using Iosevka in the terminal at the moment, although it’s maybe a bit too narrow for my tastes. For GUI I use San Francisco Pro (Apple font)
Edit: now trying Plex Mono in the terminal and I like it. It feels more like a “normal” font.
