I always want the best fonts for my terminal, my text editor, my ... But
2023-04-01 07:49:05 +00:00
I'm not satisfied easily, so I keep trying new fonts. Prefer free fonts of
course :D
2023-03-31 10:24:36 +00:00
</p>
<p>TLDR:</p>
2023-06-28 12:14:23 +00:00
<p>
2023-08-06 10:16:18 +00:00
On macOS, use
2023-06-28 12:14:23 +00:00
<a href="https://developer.apple.com/fonts/" rel="nofollow"
>San Francisco</a
>
2023-06-29 07:24:26 +00:00
for everything. Remember each time macOS release new version/new update,
you should download again to get (maybe) latest version.
2023-06-28 12:14:23 +00:00
</p>
<p>Otherwise:</p>
2023-03-31 10:24:36 +00:00
<ul>
<li>
Use
<a href="https://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsMono">JetBrains Mono</a>
for code.
</li>
<li>
2024-01-10 04:22:27 +00:00
Use <a href="https://github.com/rsms/inter">Inter</a> for display.
2023-03-31 10:24:36 +00:00
</li>
</ul>
2024-01-06 17:10:25 +00:00
<p>Always choose <strong>OTF</strong> over <strong>TTF</strong> format.</p>

Font is narrow, can display much more on small screen. But too much
config/variant for ligatures scares me.
