</h1>
<p>
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
</p>
<p>TLDR:</p>
<p>
On macOS, use
<a href="https://developer.apple.com/fonts/" rel="nofollow"
>San Francisco</a
>
for everything. Remember each time macOS release new version/new update,
you should download again to get (maybe) latest version.
</p>
<p>Otherwise:</p>
<ul>
<li>
Use
<a href="https://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsMono">JetBrains Mono</a>
for code.
</li>
<li>
Use <a href="https://github.com/rsms/inter">Inter</a> for everything
else.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
All images belows is either official images I got from fonts website or my
own screenshots. I'm too lazy to screenshot anw :D

<p>JetBrains branding font.</p>

<li>Support Vietnamese</li>

Ligatures I prefer: <code>ss02</code>, <code>cv04</code>,
<code>cv16</code>, <code>cv18</code>, <code>cv19</code>,
<code>cv20</code>.

I often choose SS08 variant because I also love
<a href="https://fsd.it/shop/fonts/pragmatapro/" rel="nofollow"

too.
</p>
<ul>
<li>Support Vietnamese</li>
<li>Support bold, italic</li>
<li>Support ligatures</li>
<li>Has dotted zero</li>
<li>Has display font</li>
</ul>
<p>
Font is narrow, can display much more on small screen. But too much
config/variant for ligatures scares me.
