I've been a die hard programmer font snob for years and have been using Bitstream Vera Sans Mono or Deja Vu Sans Mono. Mostly because it's free and can be used on all platforms.
Then, Apple released Snow Leopard with Menlo. It had just enough small little changes that at a slightly smaller point size it was easier to read. I fell in love. I've actually now trained my self to really enjoy using 10 point unaliased Monaco on small screens and enjoy it immensely as well.
- SoftwareMaven 16y agoIt's amazing how close Menlo and Deja Vu Sans Mono are. I like the lighter punctuation in Deja Vu but the = character is clearer in Menlo. I like the zero with a slash in Menlo, too.
- spicyj 16y agoYou know, Menlo is based on Deja Vu Sans Mono. http://typophile.com/node/58625#comment-351070 http://typophile.com/node/58625#comment-351070
