      Yup, that’s what I use simply out of not changing too many settings when I install an IDE.

    I tried it at work for a few weeks but in the end I went back to Iosevka. Not sure if it’s something with the Intel font, being used to Iosevka, some combination of those, or something completely unrelated, but it’s the only font I can use comfortably on daily basis, after migrating from Operator

      Based on my own experience and years of spectating flamewars I figure somewhere between 40-80% of any programmer’s aesthetic preference is familiarity. I use Liberation Mono (probably because it was the default on some ancient version of CentOS or something) and I doubt it’d be anyone’s first choice, but every now and then I’ll come across something with its own defaults and it just bugs me.

      On topic, the most obvious difference between Intel One and Iosevka is the radically different aspect ratio.

        Yeah I think the aspect ratio is one of the main problems for me, which is funny because I’ve heard people being surprised when they saw my terminal window that my font is so narrow :p

    I’ve been using Source Code Pro by Adobe for a few years now, which is confusingly named because it’s not a paid font.

      Same! Although I suspect the Pro bit came at the time when it still mean professional and not full version.

    I still find Fira Code and Meslo to be better. Nothing beats these 2 fonts.

      +1 for JetBrains mono. Been using it for years now.

    I don’t like fonts where the glyphs look wider than they are tall? In my head I call them ‘fat fonts’. IIRC Source Code Pro is like that? I used FiraCode for the longest time but recently migrated to Victor Mono. The Italics haven’t warmed on me but the rest of the faces including the Obliques look great.

        Every time I’ve seen Iosevka it’s looked super narrow, which I appreciated it more because it’s different than I actually wanted to use it. I’ve never seen this site before though and I think it may have sold me on installing it tomorrow.

    I’d like to see a font like this eventually replace the Ubuntu system typeface. There’s a lot of nostalgia and charm in that font, but it’s godawful ugly T_T

    It looks alright. I might give it a try. I tested out a bunch of different mono fonts recently and landed on Fira Code. I’m still getting used to ligatures but so far I’m liking it more than I expected.

    I like the curly braces (much easier to spot the difference from some other fonts that lack a well defined point).

    But I’m still a fan of fira code for generally well done ligatures.

    Edit: fira code, not sans.

    I’ve been using Hack for the past few years. But no doubt gonna give this a go.

      I do like Intel’s font, but I like things a little more condensed. I’m still on Hack after trying them both.
