I've used a number of fonts such as: Hack, Fira Code, Operator Mono. That's about all the ones I kind of enjoy. What's your favorite or recommended fonts to use?
Ever heard of FiraCode with ligature? If not, here is your change to make your life beautiful...
I stick with Consolas just because most other fonts seem to not have a complete UTF-8 character set and don't fallback properly to other sets.
Though I've been half tempted to spin my own (not like I don't know how) as I don't understand why so many monospace fonts seem to like to make the x-height at 60% or less of the cap-height. Looks REALLY stupid when it is at 50% or so. The lack of stress on the horizontal also feels a bit unnatural as so many of them are thin-glyph with no differentiation between bars and slabs.
Too many years of looking at CGA and MDA fonts makes me miss the double-width bars with thinner slabs, hairlines, and arms. You'd think given how font-smoothing works we'd have seen a return of that type of font for legibility sake alone, just with less serifs.
Source Code Pro has been my go-to programming font for awhile now, though I've recently been enjoying the additional ligatures of Fira Code.
I used to use whatever the default was in my editor, but for a while I switched to Hack. I'm happy with it for almost two years now.
The one I use right now is Input Mono. I like it a lot. But before I have use Consolas and was good too. So this is my two top choice ;)

I use everywhere (VS, VSCode, Sublime, idea etc.) a customized version of Input Mono. input.fontbureau.com
