About:
Font with a Syntax Highlighter is a unique programming font that embeds syntax highlighting directly into the font file itself. It uses OpenType features to automatically colorize code without relying on editor themes or plugins. This innovative approach provides consistent syntax highlighting across any application that supports advanced font features.
Key Features:
  • Built-in syntax highlighting via OpenType features
  • No editor plugins or themes required
  • Consistent appearance across different environments
  • Monospaced design optimized for programming
Use Cases:
  • Programming in terminals and text editors with limited theming support
  • Creating portable code snippets that retain syntax colors
  • Quick setup environments where installing editor extensions is restricted
Alternatives:
  • Fira Code – Popular programming font with ligatures but requires editor theming for syntax highlighting
  • JetBrains Mono – Developer-focused font that needs external syntax highlighting support
