I use a custom font[1] I made ;). I&#x27;m still learning bits of typography, so it&#x27;s not the most legible, but it was fun to make.<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ermineii.github.io&#x2F;befont.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ermineii.github.io&#x2F;befont.html</a>

SF Pro Mono with Powerline symbols. I use it on all my OS actually, not just macOS but Windows and Linux as well. You can download it off GitHub repositories. Probably against Apple&#x27;s TOS, but well, it&#x27;s a nice font.

Currently loving Fira Code. Took some time to get used to ligatures, but they actually work pretty nicely. In addition to ligatures there are lot of well thought design details that increase legibility. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;tonsky&#x2F;FiraCode" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;tonsky&#x2F;FiraCode</a>

I went with Proggy TT with slashed zeros for a long time. Using a bitmapped font seems less necessary now that I have a 4k monitor, so I&#x27;ve defaulted to Consolas (in Visual Studio Code and also for my terminal sessions), which is nice enough that I haven&#x27;t been actively looking for a replacement.

I’ve tried a lot, and I still do, but I always come back to Mononoki<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;madmalik.github.io&#x2F;mononoki&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;madmalik.github.io&#x2F;mononoki&#x2F;</a>

I never thought about changing it until just now. Courier New 12pt.

Liberation Mono. I haven&#x27;t thought much about this choice. I only really care that similar characters are easily distinguishable, such as &#x27;1&#x27; and &#x27;l&#x27;.

I really need a TTF of Hells Programmer. 8,000+ lines of code in a few vertical columns on an 8K monitor in portrait mode please.

I really like Ubuntu Mono Regular. I don&#x27;t use Ubuntu, but I install its font in other distros and even Windows.

I use the Fixed (6x13) bitmap font. It is good for display on screen, and they are not fuzzy like vector fonts are.

JetBrains Mono as my system and terminal font. It&#x27;s very easy on the eyes.
