Awesome video! I just wanted to point something out since a lot of people in the comments are saying something along the lines of "Why would you pay money for a font," when typefaces really take a ton of work by the designer to be read well, give certain feelings, and suit a certain medium well (type is often designed for specific mediums like books or display). Every typeface has a designer behind it, and I feel those designers and their work are often taken for granted. There is nothing wrong with supporting type designers that do really great work!

Comic Sans is not ugly. It's overused, and inappropriately used, and was probably developed on one drunken afternoon, and was developed at a time when it was cool to hate Microsoft, but it's not ugly. Also, Consolas was hands-down the best "serious" monospace font in the era of low DPI monitors on Windows.

The thing about irregular fonts in particular being more readable for dyslexic people is a widely propagated myth. There's research specifically showing OpenDyslexic isn't any easier to read for people with dyslexia than Arial. While certain fonts are more readable, there's nothing that makes a font more readable specifically for people with dyslexia. What makes fonts more readable for those who have dyslexia are exact same things that make it more readable for everyone else. And one thing is way more important for readability than the actual shape of the letters, and that is font size. If you want text to be readable, changing the font helps very little, while making it bigger makes all the difference. In other words, if you want readable text, just make it big.
@gustafswan
@gustafswan 2 жыл бұрын
You are completely correct. Whats even more interesting is that the studies cited by OpenDyslexic that are intended to look like they are supporting the font actually are counter to them. They provide no benefit at all. "Heavier line thickness at the bottom of most characters intended to better anchor letters" is pseudo-science bullshit.

Everytime I open up my terminal and start writing in terminal, I feel like it's so monotonic. So IG that's why?

I've just received a few days as a birthday gift from one of my coworkers, a font called Monolisa which costs 200$.. I would never have paid that much myself but I got to admit that I LOVE this font so much and it staring at the monitor for 8-10 hours a day became a little more tolerable :)

MonoLisa does look great (although I've never been a huge fan of the cursive glyphs in italicized text), but for $200 (or even $50 for the Personal license) it is quite a steep price for many. Though, I can totally get it's worth for some to invest in something you're going to have to look at for hours end every day, especially if it's part of your job-and even better if you get it as a gift. It's also really hard to find good open source monospace fonts that looks great across all kinds of monitors and devices. The only open source font that I've found so far that suits all my needs is JetBrains Mono which has the right weight balance across HiDPI as well as non-HiDPI screens without needing to dig into sub-pixel aliasing settings, letter spacing and font sizes.

I just want to point out that I decided to look into getting this font for myself. Unless you’re willing to pay $80 for the entire font family, the coding essentials pack requires you to select at purchase if you want or don’t want ligatures. I feel like that shouldn’t be a choice I’m locked into making upon purchase. If I decide I don’t want ligatures anymore, I guess I have no choice without buying the font again? 🤔

I recommend trying out Go Mono, which is my current favourite font (i know no one cares:)). I use it in IDE and terminal. it has no mirrored fonts, looks very pleasant and it is very easy to read imo.

From that point of view looks like ``JetBrains Mono'' is for uber-lexic persons. I use ``Cascadia Code'', ``Recursive'', ``iA Writer Mono'' and ``IBM Plex Mono'', cause I'm broke. Nice hostname, btw.

This video made me switch to Comic Mono as my terminal font. Comic Code may be prettier, but a paid font was a bit too much. In general I kinda like the cartoonish comic sans look of both of them.

By the way.. When I look at Monaco it really reminds me of Comic Sans family although being "cleaner" it still has a bit of a 'handwriting' vibe to it. By the way to make it render smooth in JetBrains i had to change the following from "Subpixel" to Grayscale: Settings > Appearance & Behavior > Appearance > Antialiasing > Editor: Grayscale
