Comment on What is your favourite font for code ?

I use SauceCode Pro (variant of SourceCode Pro with nerdfonts stuff). I’ve given up on changing it because everytime I do I find stuff that’s “non-standard” in the fonts I test and it bugs the hell out of me. @ signs are the absolute worst offenders, which is weird because they have a very uniform look everywhere that’s not a specialized “programming” monospace font.

The standard @ symbol has four horizontal lines and worse they’re meant to be the sides of a circle.
That’s really hard to do in a fixed width font at small sizes… and most code fonts (including Source Code Pro) cheat and modify the symbol. Some of them do that better than others.

Yeah I guess you’re right. Probably just seen the Source Code Pro one so many times that I stopped being annoyed with it.
Should try exposing myself to the Jetbrains Mono font until I get used to that instead, then I won’t have to fiddle with that part of the IDE settings.
