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
