JetBrains Mono: A free and open source typeface for developers | JetBrains: Developer Tools for Professionals and Teams
Posted by jpluimers on 2021/09/30
Font I want to try out: [Archive.is] JetBrains Mono: A free and open source typeface for developers | JetBrains: Developer Tools for Professionals and Teams.
It has a large X-height and is sans serif, just like the lovely [WayBack] Lucida Console font, which I have been using for almost 3 decades.
So I wonder if JetBrains Mono can convince me to switch away from Lucida Console: no other monospaced font has convinced me yet (:
Via: [Archive.is] Matt Ellis on Twitter: “JetBrains Mono. A really nice, open source, ligature friendly, developer typeface. I’ve been using this for a while now, it’s my default font. And a really cool landing page! “

JetBrains is discussing on how to update the Chocolaty support, see the twitter posts below:
- [Archive.is] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “Will try later. Like the sans serif and large X-height they share with Lucida Console. Maybe they can convince me to switch away from that after close to 3 decades of use.…”
- [Archive.is] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “Blogged about it today. Are you planning to work with the Chocolatey maintainers to update their install from 2.002 to more current versions? … The current maintainer is David Johnson (hopefully it is @cirzen)… “
- [Archive.is] David Johnson on Twitter: “It is me, but it probably needs a new maintainer – the current install process needs a rewrite and I don’t know when I’ll get to it.… “
- [Archive.is] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “I posted a few links in the thread leading up to … Would that help you to get JetBrains going to update it?… “
- [Archive.is] Matt Ellis on Twitter: “Good point. I’ll speak to some folks internally. That said, I have no idea about rewriting the install script…… “
- [Archive.is] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “Thanks. The current repository is at … I’m still slowly but steadily recovering, so I won’t be able to take this up either.… “

- [Archive.is] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “This is another font repository that might be of help as it is more recent: … “
- [Archive.is] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “… is even more recent and supports auto-update.… “
- [Archive.is] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “That’s it for now. Need to spare my energy so I will have some left tonight during care for my mentally retarded brother.… “
- [Archive.is] Matt Ellis on Twitter: “Thanks for all the links! I’ll try and follow up and see what we can do. 👍… “
