Re: Good Monospaced Programmer's Font

My copy of vs code has this font setting:  Consolas, 'Courier New', 
monospace.  I don't think having the chrome browser component automatically 
gives you these other fonts.  Somehow, though, the character appearance 
looks very good on vs code, as if it tunes the hinting differently or 
something like that.

The Wikipedia article on the Croscore fonts also mentions the Noto fonts 
: 

«Noto is a font family comprising over 100 individual fonts, which are 
together designed to cover all the scripts encoded in the Unicode standard. 
As of October 2016, Noto fonts cover all 93 scripts defined in Unicode 
version 6.1 (April 2012), although fewer than 30,000 of the nearly 75,000 
CJK unified ideographs in version 6.0 are covered. In total Noto fonts 
cover nearly 64,000 characters,[citation needed] which is under half of the 
143,859 characters defined in Unicode 13.0 (released in March 2020).

The Noto family is designed with the goal of achieving visual harmony 
(e.g., compatible heights and stroke thicknesses) across multiple 
languages/scripts. Commissioned by Google, the font is licensed under the 
SIL Open Font License.»

Tracking a living, changing document such as the Unicode standard cannot be 
easy. There are multiple schemes for character sets and hinting for 
handling diacritical marks, and support for those varies across operating 
systems and applications. 

I don't know which scheme is used by the Qt stack that is the basis for 
Leo's default GUI, or whether the Qt stack uses one scheme across all its 
platforms. 

I expect the Leo plugin for Visual Studio Code shall inherit the one from 
VSCode, which is based on the Chromium browser.

metrically compatible with Arial; 
Tinos  (serif) - metrically 
compatible with Times New Roman; 
Carlito(sans serif, metrically compatible with Calibri), part of the 
Crosextra fonts;

Packages for the Crosextra fonts are available with current Linux 
distributions. LibreOffice bundles the Liberation fonts.
