The way they talk about it makes it sound like they invented the written word, but that notwithstanding the fonts actually look really nice in my opinion.

I personally use JetBrainsMono, it's my favourite. What do you guys think?

Yeah it's the best one for my eyes, I use it everywhere.

I want to make a joke about how terrible the name is with just throwing in an 'a', but I don't think it would be right since I'm using Fira Code.

Iosevka offers too much customization to leave it—especially removing ligature abuse.

Looks nice! Is this going to become the default font in GitHub and VSCode?

[–] hesusingthespiritbomb@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

So I agree with OP on the style of the press release being infuriating.

It seems like a lot of tech releases these days are written for non technical journalists (ie The Verge), "tech influencers", and cargo cultists. They always read in a way that's super overhyped to the point where you almost want to be dismissive of the end product as a form of protests.

However the tech seems cool. Between VSCode and GitHub we'll be seeing a lot of feedback sooner or later.

This seems neat, too bad it requires IDE support. Hope JetBrains IDEs support it soon.

i don't see ligatures in apps i use, like notepad++, Windows Terminal, Notepad and Notepads, also shame it doesn't support powerline features

[–] shotgun_crab@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

More fonts is nice, I'll give it a try

I'm all about MonoLisa, but I'll give this a look
