Fonts

I always want the best fonts for my terminal, my text editor, my ... But I'm not satisfied easily, so I keep trying new fonts. Prefer free fonts of course :D

TLDR:

If use macOS, use San Francisco for everything. Remember each time macOS release new version/new update, you should download again to get (maybe) latest version.

Otherwise:

• Use JetBrains Mono for code.
• Use Inter for everything else.

All images belows is either official images I got from fonts website or my own screenshots. I'm too lazy to screenshot anw :D

JetBrains Mono

• Support Vietnamese
• Support bold, italic
• Support ligatures

Iosevka

I often choose SS08 variant because I also love PragmataPro too.

• Support Vietnamese
• Support bold, italic
• Support ligatures
• Support display font (non mono)

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

Recursive

I often choose Casual variant.

• Support Vietnamese
• Support bold, italic
• Support ligatures
• Support display font (non mono)

Looks good on my phone.

Martian Mono

• No Vietnamese
• Support bold
• No italic
• No ligatures

Font is wide, remember to edit line height to make it looks good. I like its bold, strong look.

agave

• No Vietnamese
• Support bold
• No italic
• No ligatures

Font is small, can display much more on small screen. I like its curved look.

Hermit

• No Vietnamese
• Support bold, italic
• No ligatures

Looks unique to me, with some sharp look.

APL-385 and APL386

• No Vietnamese
• No bold, italic
• No ligatures (APL386 support)

I love its wide look, also it's feel nostalgic.

Cozette

• No Vietnamese
• No bold, italic
• No ligatures

Feel 8-bit vibe, mono to death. But sometimes it's hard to read.

Murr fonts, but I don't use much

• Fira Code: best ligatures.
• Cascadia Code: seems discontinued :(.
• Input: seems discontinued :(.
• Monoid: seems discontinued :(.
• Fantasque Sans Mono: Comic fonts vibe, seems discontinued :(.
• mononoki: share same vibe with agave.

"Costing money" fonts, but I like it, will buy it if I have money:

• PragmataPro
• Berkeley Mono Typeface
