Intel's New Open Source Font is Awesome

Intel One Mono in use on Ubuntu 23.04 Between IBM Plex Mono, Hack, Fira Code, and JetBrains Mono I think we Linux users are spoilt for choice when it

Designed to be easier to read and parse

    I tried it at work for a few weeks but in the end I went back to Iosevka. Not sure if it’s something with the Intel font, being used to Iosevka, some combination of those, or something completely unrelated, but it’s the only font I can use comfortably on daily basis, after migrating from Operator

      Based on my own experience and years of spectating flamewars I figure somewhere between 40-80% of any programmer’s aesthetic preference is familiarity. I use Liberation Mono (probably because it was the default on some ancient version of CentOS or something) and I doubt it’d be anyone’s first choice, but every now and then I’ll come across something with its own defaults and it just bugs me.

      On topic, the most obvious difference between Intel One and Iosevka is the radically different aspect ratio.

      I’ve been using this for two days now on high contrast mode in Jetbrains IDEs I love it!!

      Edit: wait I lied, I’m using Comic Mono, same idea though

        I have Comic Mono too, it’s great. I’m using Comic Code for ligature support.

    I like the curly braces (much easier to spot the difference from some other fonts that lack a well defined point).

    But I’m still a fan of fira code for generally well done ligatures.

    Edit: fira code, not sans.

    I still find Fira Code and Meslo to be better. Nothing beats these 2 fonts.
