Space Mono
- draw_down 10y agoYep, that's a font.
- adzicg 10y agothe numbers look really ugly. I'd hate to see this in an IDE
- nichochar 10y agoAm I missing something here? Is this a new font or something? Is it a recommended mono used for coding? Do people like it? I am pretty happy with Monaco
- jck 10y agoI've been using Monaco for years. Something about it is very pleasing to me. However, I'm sort of bored with it and haven't been able to find a suitable replacement.
- madfriend 10y agoTry (if you haven't) PT Mono, Fantasque Sans Mono, or Dejavu Sans Mono (which is not too different from Menlo).
- gedy 10y agoI was in same same boat, but took a liking to Inconsolata-dz https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Inconsolata https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Inconsolata
- lauritz 10y agoI really like (and currently use) Input Mono. http://input.fontbureau.com http://input.fontbureau.com
- qwyxzy 10y agoChiming in to agree. I like how you can customize certain characters (like `*' being at the top or in the middle of text, `g' being one or two stories, `0' having a slash or dot).

- twic 10y agoTry Fantastique Sans Mono: https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans At the very least, it will make you really appreciate Monaco.
- ino 10y agoI find "Roboto Mono Sans" very pleasing and easy to read on dark background. Looks great in Terminal also. https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto+Mono?query=roboto+mono https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto+Mono?query=roboto+m... click on the paint button top right to switch to dark bg
- mcepl 10y agoFiraCode https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/ https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/ ;) ... I actually like it.
- lambda 10y agoNo, it's not recommended for coding; it's a display font, to be used for headlines, titles, and the like, things where you want a little bit of stylistic flair. Here's the description from the link: About Space Mono is an original fixed-width type family designed by Colophon Foundry for Google Design. It supports a Latin Extended glyph set, enabling typesetting for English and other Western European languages. Developed for editorial use in headline and display typography, the letterforms infuse a geometric foundation and grotesque details with qualities often found in headline typefaces of the 1960s (See: Microgramma[1], Eurostile[2]), many of which have since been co-opted by science fiction films, television, and literature. Typographic features include old-style figures, superscript and subscript numerals, fractions, center-height and cap-height currency symbols, directional arrows, and multiple stylistic alternates.

- mdip 10y agoGotta say, wasn't that interested when I clicked the link thinking "yet another programming font". I must have 30 or so installed and yet still end up using Consolas (mostly because it's the default in my IDE and I've had to reinstall a few times this last year). I will say, though, that I have always hated the traditional "a" used in fonts, preferring the more simplified one that's typically used in handwriting, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was one of the very few that use my preferred style. Yes, it can be ambiguous with the "o" character (though this has never been a problem in practice with the font configured even at the small sizes I use) but I find it more ascetically pleasing for whatever reason.
- ux 10y agoThis "a" is the main reason I use "Clean" here (distributed in clR6x12-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz by xorg) Unfortunately, that's a bitmap font, so not always appropriate depending on your monitor.
- mjs 10y agoIn most fonts the italic "a" is as you describe. (Like a truncated "d".)
- mdip 10y agoI should have specified the fonts I was referring to were monospace fonts, specifically, which out of the 12 I've got installed on my machine I've got only one is the "truncated 'd'" style, unfortunately. If you are aware of others, please post links, I'd love to have a few more.
- Marazan 10y agoAfter testing it my conclusion is that it is not as good as 'monofur' if you want a monospaced eurostile inspired font.
- IshKebab 10y agoW and g are really weird...
- atirip 10y ago(o^^)o Something went wrong. Please try again soon. Thats what i got in iPhone.

- cm3 10y agoI could really use a serif monospace font for coding and terminals. Haven't found a good one yet. EDIT: Bitmap fonts preferred for crystal clear rendering and performance.

- pygy_ 10y agoFor my terminals, I use MingLiU, on OS X. It's primarily an Asian scripts font, and the roman characters are monospaced. There's little difference between O and 0 or l and 1, though, so I don't use it for coding, but it's good enough for my use of the terminal. http://i.imgur.com/mAq8b5b.png http://i.imgur.com/mAq8b5b.png Luxi Mono isn't bad either, but the capital o and the zero are almost pixel for pixel identical, which is a deal breaker for me. https://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Luxi-Mono https://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Luxi-Mono
- mjs 10y agoFor some reason this contains fi and fl ligatures, which look pretty odd on a monospaced font: http://imgur.com/4tJkbaK http://imgur.com/4tJkbaK
- andrewaylett 10y agoI'd not spotted that before reading your comment, and went looking expecting a double-width ligature, which would be quite cool. Squeezing the ligature into a single character width seems sub-optimal for a monospaced font.
- madmalik 10y agoI've done the same with my own programming font (mononoki http://madmalik.github.io/mononoki/ http://madmalik.github.io/mononoki/ ) There is a difference between a ligature that a font may provide when you type in f and i and the unicode point 'LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FI', that is in there for historical reasons. the first one would make sense as double width character, the second one should be single width to show, that the unicode point 'LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FI' is meant
- andrewaylett 10y agoThat's an interesting point. But in this case, I had typed 'fl' and 'fi', so surely your first clause applies?
- tdaltonc 10y agoWhat does 'mono-space' even mean if they're going to do that!
- chaosmachine 10y agoI just created a variant that removes the ligatures, it's called "Space Mono NL": http://tweetcompressor.com/temp/spacemono-nl.zip http://tweetcompressor.com/temp/spacemono-nl.zip
- dclowd9901 10y agoFont's cool, but damn, gotta remark on Google's UI polish in (what I assume is) Material. It's so smooth and fluid -- I'd love to create something that coherent.
- gedy 10y agoIf you are looking for the TTF download: https://github.com/googlefonts/spacemono/tree/master/fonts https://github.com/googlefonts/spacemono/tree/master/fonts
- lauritz 10y agoThis looks cool, I especially like the lower-case characters (with the possible exception of the descender on the g). Also, the idea of using a monospaced font as a display font rather than a font for restricted environments (terminals) is new to me. This may be a tangent, but speaking of mono fonts sponsored by big SV firms: Am I the only one who would like to see Apple's San Francisco Mono (which they stealthily debuted at WWDC) released properly (i.e. as an independent font file)? It's currently in the Xcode preview, but you can't use it anywhere else.

- andreicek 10y agoI've patched the font for powerline https://gist.github.com/andreicek/b369bff8807be005be7cd5ac4f77b66d https://gist.github.com/andreicek/b369bff8807be005be7cd5ac4f...
- be5invis 10y agoBeing geometric is good, but why the /g is so strange?
- s9w 10y agoI've added it to the programming font comparison: http://www.s9w.io/font_compare/ http://www.s9w.io/font_compare/
- rbanffy 10y agoI'd fork it and add a sample of https://github.com/rbanffy/3270font https://github.com/rbanffy/3270font (more like a terminal font than a programming one) if I had a Windows machine with Sublime Text on hand. Can you add it for me?
- s9w 10y agoSure, I'll add it later. A Github issue is the easiest next time so I don't miss things here in the comments
- maureenash 10y agoSpace Mono is a monospaced font and basically suitable for code but does feature some questionable ligatures.A monospaced font, also called a fixed-pitch, fixed-width, or non-proportional font, is a font whose letters and characters each occupy the same amount of horizontal space.Many resources like custom essay writing service (http://www.essayguardian.com/ http://www.essayguardian.com/) is eager to facilitate the educational process for everyone and offers its reliable writing assistance with all types of written assignments.
