Just some monospace font, I don't really care about the tiny details.

The only thing I really cant stand at all are fancy fonts which introduce ligatures for code artifacts. So things like === or => get replaced with ONE character. This defeats the purpose of monospace imho because now you have to use extra brain power when reading your code. You always need to remember that these special characters are in fact two or three characters - it makes reading the code harder.

Well, at least for me.

Agree, I don't like those ligatures, it's like mental overload when I expect two/three symbols and find one weird one instead that isn't even in my keyboard 😂😂
