alt Hacker NewsOnce we use Berkeley mono font, we will never switch to another one :)
Whenever font discussions come up, I will try everyones suggestions to find better than what I have, and always came back to Berkeley. Its almost near perfect for coding!

Berkeley Mono ruined everything else for me. It’s so, so good.
It has very poor character coverage, especially compared to Iosevka whose author speaks Mandarin as his main language (IIRC), and put a lot of effort into supporting as many languages as possible.
Way too wide for me, plus as others mentioned you can get really close with Iosevka, but for free.
I was looking forward to their new one (houston something?) for a couple years but seems all reference to it on their website has been removed.
Shame.
I'm partial to Gintronic personally
There is an iosekeley remix that is nice as well for those who don’t want to splash out for Berkeley mono
I use Commit Mono, which is basically a free version of Berkeley Mono
In that direction there's
