Maybe my answer here: https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/discussions/847 is useful.

You need to specify --mono to get a really monospaced font.

I run my neovim with a non-monospaced font. Why do you need it monospaced? That is probably dependend on the terminal you run neovim in. But you did not specify any. I use tilix ;-)

If you do patch recursive, I would also like to use it.

Would love to see Recursive available for download pre-patched!

Any update on this one, Would really be happy to see this font added

Working on v3.0.2 to fix the last (cough) bugs of 3.0.0.

This can be added in v3.1 earliest.

And it has 64 font styles and weights. That would probably needed to be skinned down. If this would be a font with 4 files or something, a classic RIBBI group. The current release scheme is rather bad for big families.

Maybe you can give a description why this font is so great and different from all the others :-D

@joaomcarlos Thanks for reminding me!

We should start choosing fonts for the next release. After xmas probably.

Sad to see Recursive Mono Casual was not added :/

Its an insanely good font for UI and Terminal displays and for code its specially fun.

These types of handwritten style fonts reduce fatigue and improve readability in high vibration environments (a similar font is used in the B1 bomber for example)

I really do have to bump this thread because Recursive is probably my new favourite font.

I was using source code pro (NF patched) for 5+ years in the terminal without change but "Rec Mono Semicasual" variant took its place because of how nice it is to use and its legibility is superb even with tired eyes.

so a +1 from me!

Tnx for the feedback!

I've switched to Rec Mono Casual in both terminal and code editors. It works pretty well for code and interfaces in the terminal like NeoVim menus. It also works extremely well with vibrant colors which many fonts fail at while working well with muted colors like almost all others, so very versatile on that front. It also works with pastel colors like Catpuccin theme.

And doesnt look terrible when subpixel rendering isnt available like the Ubuntu font, or when the font rendering pipeline is a little wonky (linux) which is a plus when working with multiple systems (tested on Mac and PopOs).

This xmas surprise (for me anyway) keeps on giving
