Iosevka – Versatile typeface for code, from code

Clearly lots of us obsess, a LOT, about fonts. I'm always evaluating terminal fonts (currently favor Comic Mono), but one thing that Iosevka's front page demo made very obvious to me: zero with a dot (IBM Plex) are (IMhO) much more readable than the Ø kludge (go ahead, look at 08800008 in a monospace font and scale it down one step. Not so easy?).

Really, sometimes I wish I could pick and chose individual characters.

:exploding-head: thanks, I completely missed that. There goes the productivity for the rest of the day.

I'm using Comic Mono in my terminal and Iosevka in my editor but your comment reminded me that I can pick and choose individual characters — look at all the drop-down boxes on section 02 of https://typeof.net/Iosevka/customizer — so I shall do that. Thank you!

If one is using aforementioned kitty-term, one can also declair a different font family per character/range-of-characters I believe..
