Same here, I try out a lot of monospace fonts as they come along. But Liberation Mono just scratches all my itches so well.

I do however enjoy setting comments using fonts that aren't monospaced (which I begrudgingly acknowledge Comic Sans is actually decent for).

At some point though the old typographers adage of "people read best, what they read most" must impact our preferences.



Ive been using proportional fonts for coding for more than a decade now, and I can’t go back to mono space. I just wish there was a proportional programming font with ligatures, but I’m ok doing without if it means going monospace.


Try Averia for the comments.

In fact I would've loved to try a mono version of it if it were avaiable.
