Ask HN: What font do you use while programming?
- holaboyperu 10y agoFira Code
- navd 10y agoLikewise
- travjones 10y agoSource Code Pro
- clishem 10y agoMonaco, with Infinality on Linux so it thinner.
- onion2k 10y agoFira Code in my IDE, Menlo in my debug log (so it's the same as Chrome's devtools console), something else in an SSH session, and whatever the default is in Google Docs when I'm writing documentation.
- smallduck 10y agoPR#3 from <http://www.kreativekorp.com/software/fonts/apple2.shtml> http://www.kreativekorp.com/software/fonts/apple2.shtml>, with green text on a black background for maximum nostalgia. Very narrow & effective on my laptop screen. Considering switching to Input Condensed or Compressed though.
- sratner 10y agoInput Mono with settings: --asterisk=height --i=serifs_round --l=serifs_round --zero=slash --lineHeight=1.4
- Tiksi 10y agoI use Tamsyn (6x12 on lower res screens, 7x14 on 4k monitors), http://www.fial.com/~scott/tamsyn-font/ http://www.fial.com/~scott/tamsyn-font/ but it's getting more and more difficult to use bitmap fonts these days. Firefox recently dropped support for them, gtk support is hit and miss. Where I can't use Tamsyn I use https://github.com/rbanffy/3270font https://github.com/rbanffy/3270font I like fonts that are easily readable when small so I can get more screen realestate, and bitmaps are the best for that, but 3270 is pretty good as well.
- imakesnowflakes 10y agoSame here. All those fonts looked same until I found Tamsyn. If anyone reading here want to try it, you have to use it at the exact size it is made for, or else it will look ugly. So if you are using Tamsyn6x12 font, you can only use it at 12px font size..or it will look ugly.

- atmosx 10y agoAll my computers are Macs. I use Inconsolata (version that supports Hellenic letters by Cosmix) patched with devicons. My editor of choice is VIM on iTerm 13 pt, see sshot[1].

- usaphp 10y agoI've spent so much time picking a font for my sumlimetext. The one I use and love is Pragmata Pro: http://www.fsd.it/shop/fonts/pragmatapro/ http://www.fsd.it/shop/fonts/pragmatapro/
- groundCode 10y agoInconsolata http://levien.com/type/myfonts/inconsolata.html http://levien.com/type/myfonts/inconsolata.html
- cauterized 10y agoInconsolata is my choice too. It's legible at small sizes and has clear distinctions between all the easy-to-confuse characters like 0 vs O, l vs I vs 1, etc. And unlike many programmer-friendly fixed width fonts, it's also almost as comfortable to read as a good variable-width screen font when reading/writing/editing large blocks of text such as comments, personal notes, READMEs, etc.
