At the time of looking, FiraCode would not work in Delphi but would in Visual Studio. Reminder for me to look at it again: [WayBack] GitHub – tonsky/FiraCode: Monospaced font with programming ligatures.
A cool feature of the font is that it has ligatures for common multi-character combinations like := or ...
Back when scheduling this, I was still at Lucida Console because of its large x-height and small line spacing.
It is time to revisit my font choice, so lets include at least these candidates:
- [WayBack] GitHub – adobe-fonts/source-code-pro: Monospaced font family for user interface and coding environments
- [WayBack] GitHub – belluzj/fantasque-sans: A font family with a great monospaced variant for programmers.
- [WayBack] GitHub – source-foundry/Hack: A typeface designed for source code
- [WayBack] GitHub – tonsky/FiraCode: Monospaced font with programming ligatures.
