I've found the vertically centered "" to be far superior almost everywhere. Definitely for comments, but even for pointers (yes, I do write a fair bit of C) it becomes clearer that the glyph is part of the type signature, and not just a footnote. By "6 point" I mean the character itself has 6 "arms", instead of the typical 5. For my taste, it makes the glyph feel more balanced. There is this repo: https://github.com/hbin/top-programming-fonts . Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the legality of obtaining Menlo without OS X/macOS. It is a variation on Bitstream Vera Sans, which is AFAIK Open Source, but I am completely ignorant when it comes to how licenses apply to fonts (as opposed to code). As for SF Mono, that seems to be impossible to obtain even if* you have macOS and an Apple Developer account (only the UI fonts are available for download). I managed to dig them out of the Xcode application bundle and install them as system-wide fonts, but was greeted with a very scary warning stating that installing these fonts could destabilize my entire system (so far my OS is still running, though)...YMMV. |
