I don't much like that differences in sizing are not taken into consideration (not all fonts are equally large at a given pixel size).

I have been using Fira Code extensively and also writing texts. Both in English & in Greek, both spotting my mistakes and reading what I'd written improved within minutes of first trying it out. I may give JetBrains Mono a try as well, though I really am taken with Fira Code.

Unfortunately I have yet to find the perfect general purpose font to use in general. Ubuntu fonts do come really close to being perfect.

I do not know why but this game makes the winning font look much better than it is when I use my code.

Whenever I try the winning font (b612, fira mono), I always go back to Liberation Mono.

I think it has to do with rendering. Have a spin with iosevka-term-ss05.

I really like the idea, although I'd really prefer if I could pick an example for a language I actually use. Even just my own snippet

Just played the game with names off and ended up with Fira Code. But since I have the names off, I don't know what second place was, but I think it was Jetbrains Mono based on the look of it.

Also just played, and ended up with ennui.

Long time Fira Code user, also ended up with JetBrains Mono. Runner up was IBM Plex Mono.

I use Fira too, currently, but IBM just won for me, with JetBrains as the runner up. I'm actually surprised by that, and learned a lot from this game(?).

I don't see a runner up, only the winner. Did they change the game? Playing on mobile, Android Firefox.

I hid the font names until I reached the final two. Decided which I liked better and then disabled the toggle to see the names.

Note that the second best font may not be the one in the final two, due to the single elimination format.

Same.

This site is pretty neat! It's a bit weird it doesn't have Menlo, Monaco, etc. to compare to some widespread fonts. I'm not sure what I'd pick if those were mixed in.

I've been using JetBrains Mono on JetBrains Rider at home/work, has been pretty good.

Playing that game though ended up with liking Roboto Mono the most, Fira being a close second.

I played the font game three times.

1) Looking at the font names I eventually picked my favorite/workhorse: IBM Plex.

2) With hidden names, I picked Courier Prime, which I disliked at first sight.

3) Again with hidden name, I picked Cousine, which looked alright in the simulator but had lines that were too strong and even on my more contrasted color scheme. I prefer fonts with varying line widths, which the game didn't really detect -- it was mostly unreadable versus readable.

I use fira code. I just played this with the names hidden and still ended up with fira code, lol. Both are extremely good, though.

My favorite based on the game is Inconsolatas. However after installing it I realized that the game doesn't show different variations of the font (bold, italic etc..). This can easily give a wrong impression of the font when one is using combinations of different variations in an editor.

Unfortunately the game doesn't offer my favorite font: Latin Modern Mono Prop Light (https://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/latin-modern-mono)

I feel this would be more interesting if you could hide the font names until you were done.

You can, it has a toggle.

I somehow missed that, thanks

Didn't see Terminus either[0]

Of the options available I actually liked Fira Code ... never heard of it before.

But Deja Vu Mono is notably absent and I still prefer that.

I also ended up with Jetbrains Mono but Ive been too lazy to switch from Fira Code which is also really good. But soon!

I ended up with Xanh Mono— I wonder if that says anything about my reading style.

i've been using anonymous pro for years, did it, and landed on anonymous pro lol. too bad it does not have a good bitmap 4k version..
