Coming from a life time of Visual Studio, when changing to Rider, the first thing I did was to change the font to that of VS. I can't quite explain it but reading the code in the Rider default font (which I believe is JetBrains Mono) made me feel nauseous/queasy.

There’s the reason. It’s different than what you’ve been seeing most days of the last X years

Consolas/Inconsolata is a great typeface... I like it a lot.

Cascadia Code (introduced with MS Terminal, aka Caskaydia) is also a very great typeface as well.

I like Fira Code slightly more though... especially as a terminal font, I use the fork with extra nerd font characters linked from starship.rs[1][2]
