I'm looking for a good on the eyes font that suport a feel special characters like ç, ã and í. It also need to have a easy difference between 0/O and I/l. Sorry if this is not the best place to ask this.

Edit: thank you everyone for the answers, i will use fira code on my terminal and intel one mono on my text editor.

Here is a nice tool that shows 2 mono fonts and you pick the one you like best. Until you end up with a winner: https://www.codingfont.com/

(I use Brutalist Mono myself)

I would try it, if I didn't get a page-sized ad for another app, with no apparent way to make it go away...

Click somewhere outside the ad

I wish i had found that yesterday, would've saved a lot of time

This is a great tool. I landed on Jetbrains mono with Ubuntu mono in second place. I've been using the latter for many years so it's interesting to find something I like better.

You joke but comic mono is startlingly easy to look at…

I like the Hack Font family. Doesn't have any problems with 0/O or I/l and displays äöüß fine for me

Ubuntu Mono.

I think it has support for most special characters, but some of the weirder symbols aren't there like a handful of IPA characters or emojis.

But you can always get backup fonts on your system just in case

One that I haven't seen here is Operator Mono. I use it everywhere I need monospaced fonts. It's paid, but since I don't need another font ever, it's worth it.

Intel One Mono. It looks bizarre at first but it grew on me really fast and replaced Jetbrains Mono which I had been using for quite a while.

👈😎👈 a lemming of culture, I see. I too use Comic Code!

Fantastic Sans Mono (they spell fantastic weird and I don't feel like checking it) is a free alternative for folks who want to try the hand written monospaced look without paying.

Comic code, I even paid for it. I find in easier to read. Maybe I'm dyslexic but have never been diagnosed or anything

Dina , it's a bitmap font and there's a TTF version as well.

It's one of those things where I'm just used to it I think. The bitmap is sharp and everything else I've tried feels blurry or heavy.
