Mine is mononoki

It is a very minimal clean looking monospace font with support for ligatures. What is yours ?

Monaspace AUR-packaged fonts do not registered as monospace font in ArchLinux.

Though Konsole can be configured to use the font, Kitty does not recognize it. Manual install in macOS works for Kitty.

I like Neon and Argon variants of Monaspace.

My favorite was PragmataPro (not free) but it has different glyphs from Nerd Fonts. Similar ones are Iosevka, Victor, Mplus 1 code. Now new favorite is JetbrainsMono NF.

SF code, Fira Code are also in the favorite list.

Lab mono, fragment Mono are nice and planning to try them.

Generally I like condense (but not too condesed) round fonts.

I used Dejavu sans mono (but modded to have a slashed 0. It’s based on Gnome’s Vera font, but at the time it had a very large open type feature set that appealed to me.

Edit: bumped send before finishing thought…

Fira was my replacement, but I never really could get used to the operators ligatures, so left them disabled. I’m about to switch and try Neon or Argon (though I may end up mixing them a bit if it’s not too much work). Jetbrains has a neat design, but the r and f feel really out of place and I’d have to mod them to not be annoyed all the time.
