My poor eyes 😂
I might non ironically start using this
Somehow beautiful and terrible at the same time...
I still find Fira Code and Meslo to be better. Nothing beats these 2 fonts.
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 Pro bit came at the time when it still mean professional and not full version.
No dotted 0. Boo! Iosevka Term Slab for life.
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 sans for generally well done ligatures.
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’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
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.
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.
Love Fira Code with ligatures
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.
Cool font, I'll have to give it a try.
Something about just looks a little off.
Looks too squished for me, I currently use roboto mono
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.
I don't like the braces :( Meslo LG M shall remain my daily driver
I've been using Hack as my font of choice since probably around 2016 I think. I did a close comparison between the 2 after downloading it, and wow! I think this Intel font might finally replace Hack as my programming font of choice. The font does a great job of making all the common character look distinct from each other. I especially notice the parens and braces having some nice detail. I'll have to try it out on actual files, but it looks good so far!
Personally, I still prefer PragmataPro (tho I do admit it is a very expensive font), but this does look pretty good
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.
I’ve been using Hack for the past few years. But no doubt gonna give this a go.
I've been using Inconsolata
