I don't know if you are being facetious, but I switched to Segoe UI and never looked back. Browsing codingfont.com is a headache. I can't unsee the amount of wasted space that comes with monospaced fonts.

My brain thinks these fonts are bizarre. Not only that, the wildly different antialiasing schemes from windows to mac to browser would trigger double-bizarre-ness since I would never be looking at exactly the same antialiased text.

When I set Segoe UI for the first time, I instantly knew I could stop experimenting. I am not being facetious.



I am entirely serious as well . I have always wondered what the propo font evangelizers really saw, so I gave it a go after trying (and finding problems with) 6 different fonts in this thread. It’s a game changer for readability. My only gripe is the parentheses, they are a bit hard to see without mono spacing.

I also have to switch between different font rendering scenarios daily, it’s such a pain. If I could use vscode exclusively all would be well, but I’m stuck with windows font rendering in Rider usually. Segoe is one of the few fonts that looks great.
