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

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

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

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.
