I like trying new fonts for coding. So far I went back to my favorite DejaVu Sans Mono as I can legibly use it for coding at size 8. On my screen I can see 65 lines of code. When I tried Iosevka it does look good, but at size 8 it's legibility is not as good as DejaVu, it is about 20% more narrow (which is not too important to me), but it can fit just 60 lines of code on my screen. Less code and less legibility than DejaVu, so I'll pass. But I do love that there is a selection of high quality fonts for coding nowadays.
I might not be very advanced user. Configurable how? When generating fonts? Or in an editor? Most editors that I use do not have these configuration options.
Why do you want to see more lines of code on the screen?
I hear that argument frequently, but I'm on the other side this. I use Fira Code size 20 (with line spacing 1.1) in IDEA - it means about 40 lines of code.
Below are my arguments for this.
I prefer to see less code on the screen so I'm forced to split the code into more methods/functions -> make it more readable as a side effect.
More over smaller font means you strain your eyes more.
