I had a very similar experience with Pragmata Pro. I kept coming back to the page and eventually just forked out the money for it. I adore that font and I've been using it for going on 8 years.

This is not a this font vs. that font comment - it's about spending money on a font and how a lot of people find that a weird thing. For me, I came to the realization that it's a thing I literally spend hours every day looking at, so if spending a small amount of cash would improve that experience then why would I not do it?

Me too - then Iosevka came along...

  • Does Iosevka have hand-designed bitmaps for a bunch of common font sizes so text looks great even on low-DPI displays?

    To me, this is one of the best parts of Pragmata Pro (which I also eventually bought and has been my daily driver for years, although I do use Berkeley Mono for presentations and screenshots...)

  • I've settled on this one. Fits a lot of characters on the line while remaining legible, which turns out to be very useful.
