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:

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

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.
