The way they talk about it makes it sound like they invented the written word, but that notwithstanding the fonts actually look really nice in my opinion.
What makes this unique is that they’re saying this allows for different fonts in the same piece of code. So you could have comments in one font, your code in another, AI written code in another, etc. Looks like all the fonts are the same size, so everything still aligns nicely.
Oh man fonts for coding are such a huge thing. There are people making their own forks of so they have certain glyphs, or a line through the zero (or vice versa) or little changes to other specific chars.

People actually change fonts in their IDE? I’ve always used whatever the default is and never even thought about it.
some people even change default system fonts used in the deskop environment (menu’s, filemanager etc) 😎😁
Damn, I need to get out more.
Actually you have to stay in more to get into this sort of thing.

I’m an Envy Code R fan myself.
I was also like that until I discovered ligatures were thing.
I’ve always preferred IBM’s Plex Mono, specifically the Nerd Fonts version.

I can’t stand Jetbrains default font. The height of the letters is too large
I always do. I’m a fan of JetBrains Mono.
It is the default font. At least in all the JetBrains IDE
Try Fira Code font
Love Fira Code but recently switched to https://typeof.net/Iosevka/ and it’s equally great.
You just made my day. Thank you.
I actually have. I didn’t install it in an IDE, though. This font comes with popOS
I’m a big fan of Fira Code! I haven’t found any others I like more.
