Fonts 🕹️¶
Monospace fonts are better optimized for code readability and alignment. Here is a list of awesome coding fonts that I’ve used in the past. But I always come back to Fira Code
.
Installing Fonts¶
On Ubuntu¶
Even on same OS, installation procedure can vary between different fonts. On ubuntu, open type
fonts generally live in /usr/share/fonts/opentype/
folder.
To install
Fira Code
you can simply type:$ sudo apt install fonts-firacode
However, this often downloads older version of the font. Recently they released a sleeker version 2.0 of the font. To install that, download the font from here.. Unzip the font folder and go to
otf
folder. Then simply run:$ sudo cp -a . /usr/share/fonts/opentype/firacode
