Fonts in Use
- suprjami 11y agoTake away the display of font names until you mouseover an image, and you have a fun game for font nerds! Could probably write that in a few lines of JS and apply with GreaseMonkey.
- durdn 11y agoI've been receiving a weekly email digest of the posts on "Fonts in Use" using ifttt.com for a long time already. Love their site.
- adapt_and_laugh 11y agoHow'd you set that up? Aka I'd love to copy you as that sounds like the ideal way to view this site.
- extra88 11y agoI assume it's using one of the site's RSS feeds.
- stewf 11y agoGreat to hear! We have plans for a curated newsletter, but I’m glad people are already shoving things to their inbox via the RSS.
- tempodox 11y agoAnd the greatest source code font of all time is DejaVu (Sans) Mono. It's open-source: http://dejavu-fonts.org/ http://dejavu-fonts.org/
- zubspace 11y agoAsk 100 Programmers what their favourite font is and you get 100 answers :) I'm a big fan of Proggy (the clean / slashed zero / bold puncutation one) combined with a light color on a dark background I can stuff as much code on my monitor as possible without straining my eyes. That way I believe to better oversee the structure of the code and need to scroll less, but each to his own.

- test1235 11y agoI thought everyone just used consolas!
- talmand 11y agoReal coders use comic sans.
- WorldMaker 11y agoReal coders use Papyrus just as their ancient Egyptian forefathers before them. EDIT: Free obfuscation security from over-the-shoulder glances for the real coders that code in Wingdings.
- talmand 11y agoI would say our Egyptian forefathers used a font more along the lines of Wingdings than papyrus.
