Finally got my KDE Plasma on Fedora 43 looking exactly how I want, smart tiling windows, snappy keybinds, and a clean, stylish setup that actually boosts productivity. Feels almost like Hyprland, but in KDE!

bored of #firacode #jetbrainsmono ?
currently trying #maplemono :

#fonts
@jelloeater in the end it verified what I already use and prefer, #firacode from #nerdfonts 😁
@timbray here is a totally different idea to address this: there are programmer’s fonts like #FiraCode that use ligatures to render multi-character sequences as more readable glyphs, e.g. “<=“ as “≤” or “->” as an arrow.
Maybe such a font could also render runs of backslashes with an overlay for their count. I.e four backslashes would be shown as “\\⁴\\“, and eight would be shown as “\\\\⁸\\\\“ (in very crude approximation) #ProgrammersFonts #Ligatures #Backslashes #FontDesign
I have themed #sxmo now. Colour palette is #catppuccin mocha mauve. Background is an #asciiart by Marcin Glinski (fsc). Font is #FiraCode with some character varients and #FiraMono for the background
Hands down, the best font I've found to have high readability, low eye strain, and at the same time beauty is Fira (has both Sans, Mono) and it developed by Mozilla:
https://mozilla.github.io/Fira/
Also in some IDEs use Fira Code which is separately developed but is based on/inspired by Fira, but it also supports tons of handy ligatures that not only makes some programming or markup languages more easy to read, but it is also very legible and beautiful:
Ich hab mich heute mal wieder hingesetzt und über die Schriftart #firacode geschrieben.
Alle die regelmässig oder auch hin- und wieder ein paar Zeilen Code programmieren, sollten sich die Schrift mal anschauen.
I am a big fan of #firaCode, but the new @intel one mono seems very neat as well. However I am missing the code ligatures. This is such a
killer feature in Fira Code: https://github.com/intel/intel-one-mono
What do you think? Do you love the ligatures as well or do you find it confusing?
@egrinagy @omgubuntu I just tried it and I agree it looks "squashed" -- I didn't like how my #Clojure code looked so I went back to #FiraCode pretty quickly! But it's always good to have more choices in mono fonts!
Been working on a custom watch face for my Watchy based on a *nix-style shell. I want the commands to be accurate given the output shown. The current working name for the watch face is Watchy Shell. Planning to make the code public soon!
By the way, I'm using the Fira Code font, which you may want to check out if you write code as it has some cool features.
@linja for VSCode I currently use Fira Code with the ligatures on:
https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode
It's based on Fira Mono.
I like that if I typo some coding punctuation/operator (which would usually form a ligature) it stands out; and I find that ligatures make for more readable code.
Auf meinem Privatrechner verwende ich Linux und musste feststellen, dass das Standard GNOME Terminal keine Ligaturen darstellen kann, was schade ist. Bei der Recherche bin ich auf Kitty gestoßen. Diese Terminalemulation stellt FiraCode-Ligaturen gescheit dar und sieht auf den ersten Blick vielversprechend aus. Mal sehen. #kitty #typography #firacode #linux https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty
@nova I use #FiraCode Retina in both text editor and terminal, been really happy with it https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode #font #fonts
#alacritty -> #kitty
for those sweet sweet #ligatures
also #FiraCode is the best #terminal font https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode
