Another new font - IBM Plex

Good news,
IBM released open source font family IBM Plex, containing fonts Sans, Serif and Mono, each in 16 variants (bold, italic etc.), i.e. 48 *.otf files in total. Mono is very suitable for Lazarus, see screenshot. You can download from
https://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/ibm-plex
.
PS: I remind another font, SourceCodePro from Adobe, which I announced here five years ago:
http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,18364.msg103554.html#msg103554
Enjoy!

All those fonts are open source and usually availabe on
https://www.fontsquirrel.com/
.
If you want something more fancy, try Audimat Mono 12/1/0. Font is good but I'm too conservative for it
.
EDIT: I tested all font
with
antialiasing.

My go-to programming font is
Raize
. Yes it's a bitmap font, but super crisp and with very distinguishable characters like zero, lowercase and uppercase L or O, the number 1 etc.
http://www.raize.com/DevTools/Tools/RzFont.asp
My next favourite is
DejaVu Sans Mono
.

A little offtopic, but: I really like
Source Code Pro
and
Liberation Mono
. Both have a patched version for Powerline, which make both attractive to use them also in Terminal and Editors like Vim (see Screenshot).
