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.
People actually change fonts in their IDE? I’ve always used whatever the default is and never even thought about it.
I’ve always preferred IBM’s Plex Mono, specifically the Nerd Fonts version.
some people even change default system fonts used in the deskop environment (menu’s, filemanager etc) 😎😁
What makes this unique is that they’re saying this allows for different fonts in the same piece of code. So you could have comments in one font, your code in another, AI written code in another, etc. Looks like all the fonts are the same size, so everything still aligns nicely.
Love Fira Code but recently switched to https://typeof.net/Iosevka/ and it’s equally great.
