See the problem with this is that even if I write code with this font, I can't force people to read it in this font.

Of course you can. Instead of committing the code to a repository, you just take screenshots of the everything and commit that instead.
Settle down Satan.
And then you program a runtime that calls an AI to parse images and execute your code in real-time!
all code is written down in physical loose leaf notebooks
Hey that's MY cursed python programming method... I wonder if I still have those books
That way you don't need Gimp to make edits. I like it, very human!
You can if you paste it into a write protected pdf
The only real way to write protect it is by printing the pdf into pdf (making it a pdf of an image).
Many editors can read config files from a file in the repository itself. And oftentimes it has the highest priority. Just gotta know the IDE of your target and they have to click "trust this project".
Just add it for VSCode and Jetbrains and you cover like 75-95% of devs
Pretty sure you can use the 𝓾𝓷𝓲𝓬𝓸𝓭𝓮 𝓬𝓱𝓪𝓻𝓪𝓬𝓽𝓮𝓻𝓼
I... Somehow just realized that I can of course change my editor font. After three years in professional software dev.
Any recommendations for maximizing readability?
I guess it depends on your preference but I love Fira Code
I use it as well
Is there any other font that has that variety of ligatures?
Try JetBrains Mono.
I unironically love comic sans derivatives, they're just super readable to me
Comic sans is a great typeface in my opinion. Just often misused.
Comic sans can help a lot of people with dyslexia.
Big fan of jetbrains mono.
Verdana.
The I/l and O/o/0, 0/8/ø are all distinct, so are all the different kinds of brackets. Also, this isn't a monospace font, so wide letters such as m and w are wide, instead of being squashed into an unreadable barcode.
Letters aren't meant to be monospace, and sans TUI nothing in computers still needs to be.
If you do need one, ex. for TUI, I second JetBrains Mono!
Also, Verdana is not a libre font, Noto Sans is a libre font that also has these properties, although code does look much better in Verdana to me.
My favorite is "Inconsolata"
i always use the classic 6x13 or 8x16 font
reduce the flourishes and/or add more spacing between lines and it would be a lot more readable.
Cause I ~~reposted~~ stole it from some other internet page
I just usually download the image than a screenshot when posting
Putting the “no” in zapfino
std::string independence;
comic shanns ms for all code editing
Needs more line spacing.
