What do you want out of a coding monospace font?

2•d0able•5h ago
There are a lot of great fonts out there, but what's missing?

On my list: - show nonprintable / zero width characters - "relaxing" vibe?

Not like I need it for coding but technically or graphically I like the idea of fonts that have double with for CJK characters and it all tiles nicely.

Box drawing glyphs that line up correctly.

How to quantify which font is "best" is a tricky question. I do flip through available programming fonts on occasion just to see if something feels right. A recent favorite is Monaspace Neon from Lettermatic. One detail actually is that I find I like zeros that are noticeably different than an uppercase letter 'O'. In Monospace Neon for example the zero has a dot in the middle.

Clear distinction between numerals and letters. O and 0, 1 and l, S and 5. Also distinctive punctuation. '.' and ',' are too similar in a lot of typefaces.
