It has a few nice features:
* font size normalization so comparing fonts is easier
* uses a command of your choice. I'm using #neovim above with a built-in #rakulang sample
* automatically uses system fonts, optionally pulls in other fonts
Implementing it is the same story as everything else in RelayTerm: #rakulang makes it straightforward to use the C libraries of #vte and #gtk4, and it's easier for everything else (array manipulation and CLI argument handling are two that come to mind)
@avuserow just when I thought about changing my Jetbrains Mono... I really need one of these for my own so badly

@e12 If you haven't seen it, https://www.programmingfonts.org/ also has a test drive for a number of fonts (but no tournament mode).
Both that and https://www.codingfont.com/ are inspirations for this mode.
