Traditionally, font design has been a weakness of open source projects.
These days, there are open source (SIL license) options for open source projects.
These include corporate sponsored such as IBM Plex Mono, Adobe Source Code Mono, and open source corporate sponsored such as JetBrains Mono, Firefox Fira Code Mono, and Ubuntu Mono, as well as traditional open source option such as Bitstream Vera Mono.
Among the best is Microsoft Cascadia Code, which has three advantages:
It includes support for Powerline symbols by default as well as code ligatures and OTF style options such as slashed zero versus dotted zero.
It includes superior support for multiple languages such as Greek, Arabic, and Hebrew.
It is optimized not for paper printing, but square-based pixel display (at low resolution as well as TTF hinted displays)
So I wonder if Elementary OS projects will consider switching default mono font for terminal to Cascadia Code Powerline edition, and what work it would involve for me.
Thanks
