As much as I appreciate the tiny serif for lowercase L and numeral 1 to differentiate l I and 1, I am not the biggest fan of the capital I glyph without the horizontal serifs. It's my biggest design gripe with most sans-serif fonts as it makes it FRUSTRATINGLY difficult to differentiate when looking at words by themselves. Is that lota or Iota? Is that iodestone or lodestone? Both real examples where I fumbled reading them -- once in front of a class :) This is why my favorite sans-serif typeface has been (and will always be) IBM Plex Sans [1]. It's an open font [2]. I have all my laptops and desktops set to using the IBM Plex typefaces, including browser overrides. If only there were a way to do it system-wide on my Android phone...

IBM Plex Mono is pretty good, with a reasonable license. It's on Google Fonts, and the repo is here: https://github.com/IBM/plex

IBM released a typeface a couple of years ago with much marketing fan fare: https://www.ibm.com/plex/ https://github.com/IBM/plex On another note, are there any notable examples of AI-generated mono-spaced programmer fonts?

Video author here -- The terminal emulator is tn5250j [0], configured to use the IBM Plex Mono [1] font. Full-screen it on a 1080p display and it really is quite pleasant! And there's something that just feels "right" about using IBM's font in this case. [0] http://tn5250j.org/ [1] https://github.com/IBM/plex

I'd love to hear if anyone has other alternatives. I'm finding myself in a similar place as you do. I found on the About and Terms pages a few software projects listed, which the author claims are what powers Slimvoice: - https://www.blender.org - https://www.gimp.org - https://golang.org General tech ^ and libraries: - https://github.com/aymerick/douceur - https://github.com/jung-kurt/gofpdf - https://github.com/lib/pq - https://github.com/qiangxue/fasthttp-routing - https://github.com/valyala/fasthttp - https://github.com/valyala/quicktemplate - https://github.com/bamiaux/rez - https://github.com/MithrilJS/mithril.js And lastly, fonts: - https://github.com/rsms/inter - https://github.com/IBM/plex - https://github.com/weiweihuanghuang/Work-Sans Aggregated from from: - https://slimvoice.co/about - https:

> iA Writer The typeface is a modification of IBM Plex Mono[0][1]. I'd recognise that 'a' glyph anywhere. [0]: https://github.com/IBM/plex [1]: https://www.ibm.com/plex/

I like using IBM Plex Mono. https://github.com/IBM/plex • https://www.ibm.com/plex/

Looks like they they do have a variable font for Plex Sans https://github.com/IBM/plex/tree/master/IBM-Plex-Sans-Variab...

Nice! However, I prefer IBM Plex[1], and it has the advantage of being an open-source project! I have recently re-designed my CV (15 pages down to 2) and used IBM Plex for all of it... happy so far. [1] https://github.com/IBM/plex

Do the variations of letter glyphs have unique names? Like the curly vs simplified versions of lower case 'a' and 'g'? I greatly prefer the simplified glyphs for programming. Like IBM's Plex. https://github.com/IBM/plex Adobe's Source Code Pro uses curly glyphs for the normal typeface and simplified for italics, which seems backwards to me. https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/source-code-pro I can't quickly refind the customizable font project with source code, where you recompile the typeface with the options you want.

Personally I prefer IBM Plex Mono and family. https://github.com/IBM/plex

Erm, IBM Plex, of course... ;-) https://github.com/IBM/plex

I quite like IBM Plex Mono as a programming font... https://github.com/IBM/plex would be nice if the page has a way of making suggestions of fonts to add.
