Once we use Berkeley mono font, we will never switch to another one :)

Whenever font discussions come up, I will try everyones suggestions to find better than what I have, and always came back to Berkeley. Its almost near perfect for coding!

In that direction there's

>Iosevka configuration to mimic the look and feel of Berkeley Mono as closely as possible.

Discussed recently https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49161743

It has very poor character coverage, especially compared to Iosevka whose author speaks Mandarin as his main language (IIRC), and put a lot of effort into supporting as many languages as possible.

You meant Pragmata Pro :)

why tho, berkeley mono ftw.

There's a lot to like about Pragmata Pro, but I'll never use a terminal font that isn't OFL.

Berkeley Mono ruined everything else for me. It’s so, so good.

I was looking forward to their new one (houston something?) for a couple years but seems all reference to it on their website has been removed.

Shame.

There is an iosekeley remix that is nice as well for those who don’t want to splash out for Berkeley mono

Way too wide for me, plus as others mentioned you can get really close with Iosevka, but for free.

While I appreciate it's aesthetic, it's too blocky for my personal taste

I'm partial to Gintronic personally

I use Commit Mono, which is basically a free version of Berkeley Mono
