Fira code linux install

Installing FiraCode on Windows and Ubuntu

Hello again, JD here. Today I’m writing about how to install FiraCode on Windows and Ubuntu. This post is copying and pasting some commands on the console (at least that’s the way I do it). So let’s get to it.

About FiraCode

FiraCode is a monospaced font with programming ligatures developed by Nikita Prokopov (tonsky on GitHub).

Fira Code: free monospaced font with programming ligatures

Problem

Programmers use a lot of symbols, often encoded with several characters. For the human brain, sequences like -> , or := are single logical tokens, even if they take two or three characters on the screen. Your eye spends a non-zero amount of energy to scan, parse and join multiple characters into a single logical one. Ideally, all programming languages should be designed with full-fledged Unicode symbols for operators, but that’s not the case yet.

Solution

Fira Code is a free monospaced font containing ligatures for common programming multi-character combinations. This is just a font rendering feature: underlying code remains ASCII-compatible. This helps to read and understand code faster. For some frequent sequences like .. or // , ligatures allow us to correct spacing.

Download & Install

Support

Installing on Windows

To install FiraCode on Windows we are going to use Chocolatey.
Note: If you have Python installed on Windows, I suggest you run the following command to verify if you have Chocolatey installed. Python installs Chocolatey to fetch some dependencies.

Exit fullscreen mode

If it returns the version number, then you’re all set and you can jump directly to FiraCode command. If it doesn’t, then run one of the following commands with administrative permissions to install Chocolatey.

lucasGabrielDeAA / Installing Fira-Code fonts on linux, and enabling it on VSCode

# To install the Fira Code fonts in the Linux, vis script, create the script ahead, using the editor you desire.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

fonts_dir=»$/.local/share/fonts»

if [ ! -d «$» ]; then

echo «mkdir -p $fonts_dir»

mkdir -p «$«

else

echo «Found fonts dir $fonts_dir»

fi

for type in Bold Light Medium Regular Retina; do

file_path=»$/.local/share/fonts/FiraCode-$.ttf»

file_url=»https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/blob/master/distr/ttf/FiraCode-$.ttf?raw=true»

if [ ! -e «$» ]; then

echo «wget -O $file_path $file_url»

wget -O «$» «$«

else

echo «Found existing file $file_path»

fi;

done

echo «fc-cache -f»

fc-cache -f

# And save with the name you desire, with .sh extension. Example: download_and_save.sh

# Via terminal, open the folder where the script was created, add execution permission to the script and run it, following these steps.

$ chmod +x download_and_save.sh

$ ./download_and_save.sh

# After the script execution, open in the VSCode, the settings.json’s file. Typing Ctrl + shift + P

# Enter `settings`and open the entry with (JSON) specified after.

At the end of the file, add the following lines.

«editor.fontFamily»: «Fira Code»,

«editor.fontLigatures»: true

# To enable Fira Code font and behavior to the VSCode. Save and that’s it.

Fira Code: free monospaced font with programming ligatures

Programmers use a lot of symbols, often encoded with several characters. For the human brain, sequences like -> , or := are single logical tokens, even if they take two or three characters on the screen. Your eye spends a non-zero amount of energy to scan, parse and join multiple characters into a single logical one. Ideally, all programming languages should be designed with full-fledged Unicode symbols for operators, but that’s not the case yet.

Fira Code is a free monospaced font containing ligatures for common programming multi-character combinations. This is just a font rendering feature: underlying code remains ASCII-compatible. This helps to read and understand code faster. For some frequent sequences like .. or // , ligatures allow us to correct spacing.

Fira Code is a personal, free-time project with no funding and a huge feature request backlog. If you love it, consider supporting its development via GitHub Sponsors or Patreon. Any help counts!

What’s in the box?

Left: ligatures as rendered in Fira Code. Right: same character sequences without ligatures.

Fira Code comes with a huge variety of arrows. Even better: you can make them as long as you like and combine start/middle/end fragments however you want!

Fira Code is not only about ligatures. Some fine-tuning is done for punctuation and frequent letter pairs.

Fira Code comes with a few different character variants, so that everyone can choose what’s best for them. How to enable

Being a programming font, Fira Code has fantastic support for ASCII/box drawing, powerline and other forms of console UIs.

Unicode coverage makes Fira Code a great choice for mathematical writing.

How does it look?

Building Fira Code locally

In case you want to alter FiraCode.glyphs and build OTF/TTF/WOFF files yourself, this is the setup I use on macOS:

• Author: Nikita Prokopov @nikitonsky
• Based on: Fira Mono
• Inspired by: Hasklig
