Ask HN: What font do you use for coding?
I've tried several hipster fonts but I always come back to Consolas. What font do you use for coding?

I've been trying out a bunch of free fonts and I keep coming back to Input Mono (https://input.fontbureau.com/).
Some of my favorites include:
- Hack (https://sourcefoundry.org/hack/)
- IBM Plex Mono (https://www.ibm.com/plex/)
- Input (above)
- Fira Code (only when coding JS, the only place I like ligatures) (https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode)

I used to try so many coding fonts. Finally I got a 42" 4k monitor and use the default monospace font at 1.1 leading and a comfortable size and still have screen estate to spare.
(Misc) Fixed, point size 7.
It's the smallest font I could find that was still very readable. It's a bitmap font too, so it's super-crisp.

I use Dank Mono for a couple of years now, very happy!
Can I recommend Consolas. :)
