What does HackerNews think of cascadia-code?
This is a fun, new monospaced font that includes programming ligatures and is designed to enhance the modern look and feel of the Windows Terminal.
Language:
Python
Used FiraCode for a while, then switched to Victor Mono [0], but found myself going back to Cascadia Code [1]. I can't seem to be able to get along with fonts that are too thin it seems.
That actually looks more normal than Cascadia Code [0] to me. Iād say CC sits between Fantasque and Comic Mono in playfulness
I've completely fallen for Cascadia Code - https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code - which I think deserves a mention.
This is a nice overview. I don't share the author's intense distaste for serifs. In my search I ended up on Cascadia Code, which wasn't part of this comparison: https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code
Cascadia Mono/Code, depending if I feel like having ligatures:
https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code
It has the option to enable cursive italics, which is disabled by default. Been using it for over a year. No complaints.
Some fonts also just have different variants with and without ligatures, for example Cascadia Code/Mono: https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code
Meh, I like Cascadia Code[1], especially after the designer fixed the awful "fun" italics.
I use Dracula color scheme along with the Cascadia Code font [1]. I've been using this set up in both VSCode for Rust and Java in IntelliJ. I find this combination to be extremely readable. Dracula uses many very different colors which make different parts of code obvious. Cascadia has unique shapes for many of the characters which makes distinguishing them a breeze. Would definitely recommend giving this combo a shot!
