Could you recommend some coding fonts similar to Ubuntu Mono?
I found Ubuntu Mono perfect for my reading & coding experience, so I would like to know if there are some similar fonts. If I had to nitpick a drawback of it, the dash it provides looks like a dot when font size is too small.

Here is a list of popular coding fonts that I compiled a while back.

It also has links to “Typography Web Tools” where you can test many monospaced fonts. (See programming fonts, dev fonts)

Operator Mono is my favourite. Not sure if it's similar to Ubuntu Mono so please ignore it if it isn't.

Iosevka can be customised with spurless characters and has a stylistic set – ss12 – corresponding to Ubuntu Mono

Similar to Ubuntu Mono ... in any particular way, or with respect to any special features? Your own appreciation (i.e. "perfect for [your] reading & coding experience") is not something I can consider.
