Intel’s New Open Source Mono Font is Pretty Decent
Intel’s New Open Source Mono Font is Pretty Decent
Intel One Mono in use on Ubuntu 23.04 Between IBM Plex Mono, Hack, Fira Code, and JetBrains Mono I think we Linux users are spoilt for choice when it
Designed to be easier to read and parse
You'll have to pry Comic Code from my cold dead hands!
Somehow beautiful and terrible at the same time...
My poor eyes 😂
I might non ironically start using this
I tried it at work for a few weeks but in the end I went back to Iosevka. Not sure if it’s something with the Intel font, being used to Iosevka, some combination of those, or something completely unrelated, but it’s the only font I can use comfortably on daily basis, after migrating from Operator
Based on my own experience and years of spectating flamewars I figure somewhere between 40-80% of any programmer's aesthetic preference is familiarity. I use Liberation Mono (probably because it was the default on some ancient version of CentOS or something) and I doubt it'd be anyone's first choice, but every now and then I'll come across something with its own defaults and it just bugs me.
On topic, the most obvious difference between Intel One and Iosevka is the radically different aspect ratio.
Yeah I think the aspect ratio is one of the main problems for me, which is funny because I’ve heard people being surprised when they saw my terminal window that my font is so narrow :p
I've been using Source Code Pro by Adobe for a few years now, which is confusingly named because it's not a paid font.
Same! Although I suspect the
Probit came at the time when it still meanprofessionaland notfull version.
No dotted 0. Boo!
Iosevka Term Slabfor life.I still find Fira Code and Meslo to be better. Nothing beats these 2 fonts.
For my taste it looked a little too wide. Not as good as JetBrains Mono.
+1 for JetBrains mono. Been using it for years now.
I don't like fonts where the glyphs look wider than they are tall? In my head I call them 'fat fonts'. IIRC Source Code Pro is like that? I used FiraCode for the longest time but recently migrated to Victor Mono. The Italics haven't warmed on me but the rest of the faces including the Obliques look great.
The second time I heard about Victor Mono today. I might download it today.
I have a feeling you'll enjoy Iosevka then.
Every time I've seen Iosevka it's looked super narrow, which I appreciated it more because it's different than I actually wanted to use it. I've never seen this site before though and I think it may have sold me on installing it tomorrow.
I’d like to see a font like this eventually replace the Ubuntu system typeface. There’s a lot of nostalgia and charm in that font, but it’s godawful ugly T_T
It looks alright. I might give it a try. I tested out a bunch of different mono fonts recently and landed on Fira Code. I'm still getting used to ligatures but so far I'm liking it more than I expected.
I like the curly braces (much easier to spot the difference from some other fonts that lack a well defined point).
But I'm still a fan of fira code for generally well done ligatures.
Edit: fira code, not sans.
For me Dejavu sans mono is a really good mono font, and it's Foss 🙂
Something about just looks a little off.
I’ve been using Hack for the past few years. But no doubt gonna give this a go.
I do like Intel's font, but I like things a little more condensed. I'm still on Hack after trying them both.
Looks too squished for me, I currently use roboto mono
I've been using Adobe's Source Code Pro for years (which they don't even mention as an open source monospace font). This looks pretty good, but I am not a fan of the parenthesis
()and braces{}they look almost hand-drawn (or perhaps the arc is to harsh or something, IDK).The braces are a bit weird but they should be easier to distinguish at first glance because of it.
I don't like the braces :( Meslo LG M shall remain my daily driver
Cool font, I'll have to give it a try.
I've been using Inconsolata
I'm a Fira Code (patched w/ Nerd Font) user, but love to try out a new font every once in a while. This one does look nice. Will have to see about patching it w/ the nerd font glyphs, as my tmux/nvim output is going to look like garbage w/o those.
Looks pretty good. I don't think anything will end up shaking me loose from hasklig, but more choice is pretty much never a bad thing.
Personally, I still prefer PragmataPro (tho I do admit it is a very expensive font), but this does look pretty good
