Anyone else tried the new Jetbrains Mono? I was using Inconsolata before, but this one is also pretty nice.

[Shawn]

I’m using JetBrains Mono on my work machine and SF Mono on my personal one, having a hard time deciding which I like better

I switched from Inconsolata to Mono (with ligatures on) recently. I like it.

[Shawn]

is good typeface

I have tried it and found it quite comfortable for my eyes and now i am using it in IDE, terminal and browser as wll

[Orhan Tozan]

@Ashish Kumar Joy browser? Do you mean its devtools?

[Shawn]

i mean, you can set your default page render typeface preferences in your browser…

[Orhan Tozan]

I'm aware of that, just it is unusual to do so, from what I've seen, especially with a mono font.

[Shawn]

why?

[Shawn]

you can set defaults by category - serif, sans-serif, monospaced etc

[Orhan Tozan]

Meant more uncommon, don't remember ever seeing someone's browser that wasn't using the default font

[rocketraman]

Hasklig is another nice monospace you can try.

[rocketraman]

Most web pages set their own fonts anyway. The browser settings only apply when the font is not set, so its almost irrelevant on the modern web.

[Orhan Tozan]

Yes indeed, I can't recall seeing google search results in a different font

[Shawn]

really depends - wikipedia is a pretty good example of not prescribing typefaces in its stylesheets

[Shawn]

I’ve also definitely been on a number of blogs that set style information but not font for code blocks
