    I am a big fan of MonoLisa, but it is a paid font.

    I wasn’t convinced initially (never paid for a font before!) and found some version of it online, found that I liked it very much, then willingly parted with my money for a license.

    I really like the difference between normal and italics, I set up my code editor to use italics for comments.

      When you said ‘paid’ I was thinking £5, not £50 (for the basic version!)

        On PragmataPro, I know it’s a bit pricey (60 euros) but I’ve been using 12 hours a day for years, it has a lot of characters available, supposedly hand-made, and the guy updates it regularly.

        I have bought software that was more expensive but had way less usefulness.

        Yeah that’s why I found an “evaluation” version before. Once I saw it was genuinely great I was happy to pay for a license.

        I look at this font 12+ hours a day everyday for work, if this was just for ricing a terminal window I agree it is a bit steep.
