Wow, some of these are looking atrocious. (Victor Mono, Syne Mono, Nova Mono)

What I'm missing is DejaVuSansMono which is what I'm using. The result of the test was Ubuntu Mono, which looks okay too.

It is sort of baffling that people make some of these hideous fonts, look at them, and decide to publish them regardless. A font where the lowercase i and l are indistinguishable? Okay...

I was amused that Dank Mono wasn't in the lineup (though there was one that had some of its aesthetics)

The one use case I've seen for Dank Mono was presentations with an overhead projector at conferences. The cursive for italics can make some of the structure of the code more differentiated when viewing it at a distance.

I've been jumping between Maple Mono and a custom Iosevka build that I've been tweaking here and there for the better part of 3 years. Jetbrains Mono is also really nice if you want something a bit more neutral.

This is interesting. I didn’t realize how much font choice affects readability until I switched between a few over time.

Nice concept. One thing font comparison tools usually miss is how well the font handles non-Latin scripts — if you're working on i18n code with mixed CJK/Cyrillic/Arabic in string literals, many popular coding fonts fall apart. JetBrains Mono and Iosevka handle this reasonably well, but most others default to system fallbacks that break the visual alignment.

Silence, clanker.
