      Iosevka is so great. Not everyone likes the narrow look. I’ve tried other fonts a couple of times since I stumbled on it a good handfuls of years ago, but I always come back.

        You can always compile your own Iosevka and adjust several pieces, I have done that selecting what I consider the best pieces a long time ago.

        The compiled font lives in an easy to access internal webserver that I just grab from every computer I use (=

      Just looked at the screenshot on the Victor Mono page and the kerning makes me want to rip my eyes out…

          Not OP, but if you look at the Hello World code example, the “HelloWorld” class is visually divided at the l’s and the o and W are glued together. Looks more like “Hel l oWorld”.

            That’s because Victor Mono are a tabular font meaning equal width no matter what character it is :) I find it nice.
