# 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:
|
|
|
|
On macOS, use [San Francisco](https://developer.apple.com/fonts/) for
|
|
everything. Remember each time macOS release new version/new update, you should
|
|
download again to get (maybe) latest version.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise:
|
|
|
|
- Use [JetBrains Mono](https://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsMono) for code.
|
|
- Use [Inter](https://github.com/rsms/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](https://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsMono)
|
|
|
|
JetBrains branding font.
|
|
|
|
- Support Vietnamese
|
|
- Support bold, italic
|
|
- Support ligatures
|
|
- Has dotted zero
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ligatures I prefer: `ss02`, `cv04`, `cv16`, `cv18`, `cv19`, `cv20`.
|
|
|
|
## [Iosevka](https://github.com/be5invis/Iosevka)
|
|
|
|
I often choose SS08 variant because I also love
|
|
[PragmataPro](https://fsd.it/shop/fonts/pragmatapro/) too.

|
|
|
- Support Vietnamese
|
|
- Support bold, italic
|
|

|
|

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

|

|
|
- [Cascadia Code](https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code): Microsoft
|
|

|
|

|
|

|
