Knowing that everything in here is people asking why their font is missing: I highly recommend having a look at

[ MAPLE MONO ]

(on Github https://github.com/subframe7536/Maple-font). It has amazing readability, looks nice, is compatible with NF if you use that. I received compliments from people looking over my shoulder for my f'ing font?! Huge shoutout to subframe7536 ^^

The slant and connective distance of the cursive italic l are noticeably different than of the other letters, so every word that includes one is very jarring.

It looks like they naively aligned the slant of the leftmost edge at the mid-height of the glyph, which is not the right way to optically align shapes, especially for a symbol with asymmetric curvature (the leading face of the loop leans substantially more than the trailing face). And then in addition to that, a too-wide arrangement when adjoining ("ul", "ll", etc) causes excess dead space around adjoined pairs.

You see this quite strongly in the "null" that appears on line 5 in their example screenshot. The two "l"s both appear to lean more than the "nu", and the "ul" has more internal space than the "nu", and the "ll" has even more than that.

Checked it out and instantly liked it. Been using Cascadia Code for years. Will give this one a try now. Thank you!

What do you like about it? I like that the I and l are distinctive, and of course the distinction between 0 and O. However, there are some nice letter differentiators that it is missing, such as a shorter middle cane in the letter "m" (Ubuntu Mono has this for example).

While we're dropping lesser-known coding fonts, here's my favorite, Lotion [0]. It's cute and playful but also very legible and clean.

First Maple and now this. Today is good day for trying new fonts.

This one has a bit of... an Art Deco flavor, perhaps, is it?

I've been a long time Fira Code user, but recently switched to Maple - I love it. Mostly because of the "single storey" `a`, but that's just a personal preference of mine.

I don’t like it. It looks amateurish in the same way Comic Sans looks to me. I suppose you’d love this if you also enjoy Comic Sans.

It feels more like Consolas to me.

Consolas at least looks like a serious type face. This one has letterforms so rounded that it screams playful without any seriousness.

> Nice

< Look at the tasteful colouring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God.

Woa, that's a weird @ in the screenshot in line 6.

I had to look very hard at the line to recognise it as an @ because it's so weird.

Italics turn into cursive... I cannot imagine ever wanting this in my IDE, but that's just me.

antisol an hour ago | parent [-]

I know right?! And apparently only certain letters become cursive in italic, so it's not even consistent about it?!

This seems bizarre to me, I do not understand the rationale behind it. Can someone enlighten me?

Seconding Maple Mono - it's very nice.
