Pragmata Pro is my favourite.
It has all the characters I need.
It's condensed, so I can fit a lot of information on the screen.
Meanwhile it's easily readable and gentle on the eyes.
It looks good in Code and as a Terminal font alike.
It supports ligatures.
If you want a free alternative, I think Iosevka is very similar, albeit not quite AS good.

Question: can you apply font ligatures in gnone-terminal with bash inside the terminal and editor like Neovim? I tried using fira code but the ligatures didnt seem to work in nvim :(
Ive read that using a terminal emulator can help to achieve that but i wanted to know if i can do it just in the gnome-terminal natively. Thanks.

I hate fonts that are not unambiguous. Some very popular fonts are so annoying when you try to figure out if the letter is an upper case I or lower case l? 0 or O? Sometimes I end up copy/pasting names from a browser to a text editor with console font to see what's the bloody name so I don't mispronounce it!

As more of a writer than coder, there are also problems with letter combinations, for example differentiating between barn and bam, down and clown, cap I and lower l... For me these things are seriously important, and at least for text point me more toward serif fonts. I am loving Cardo right now.

A bit of Criticism for the video. If i was someone looking for a font, what i'd want at the end of this video would be a on screen comparison's on those fonts.
simply showing the example text with 4 of the best fonts at the same time would have been an improvement for the target audience.

It's also important to distinguish capital i from lowercase L, which I didn't see you address. Illusion
I've been using DejaVu Sans Mono. It stays legible at very low sizes.
I like the look of Mononoki, but it seems too thin. Is there a wide version?

I wish I could find some monospaced novelty fonts, like a mono version of Ancient G Modern, just to mess with people from time to time.

Can anybody recommend a monospace font that works well in extremely small font sizes? To be used in dashboards and complex diagrams.

Hey DT,
It is an inconvenience that sometimes you don't paste in the things you showed in the videos like a list of fonts.
