Of all things in the world to say, congratulations to Microsoft for their work on Cascadia Code: https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code

It's hard to do these fonts justice via preview alone, but in whole it's very legible to read.

Aside: If you want fast access to a ton of fixed-width (coding) fonts, pre-patched for powerline, you can grab them at https://github.com/powerline/fonts.

If you do CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) characters in the terminal and want crisp, bitmap ligatures, I recommend Wen Quan Yi Micro Hei. But it doesn't work well scaled up in HiDPI monitors unfortunately! CJK in the terminal is still kind of a mystery to me.



I don't like the Cascadia Code font! It feels difficult to read, full of fluffs and blings.

Cascadia Code looks like the Comic Sans of programming fonts.
