This is interesting, but I would like a more 'guided' tour, maybe backed up by some usage data, as well as some statistics about readability and so on.

- Stratoscope 8y agoNow that is an interesting perspective! It's hard for me to imagine that I would choose a font based on usage data and statistics: "25% more coders use Inconsolata than Verdana, and they suffer 3% less eyestrain as a result." How would you even measure such a thing? A font that works well on a low-DPI display may not be the same one that looks great on a high-DPI display. And one person's eyes are not my eyes. I look at a font, try using it in my work, and either I like or I don't like it. Even if I do like it, I will probably find some flaws in it and fix them in a font editor. Or maybe I don't and just live with it. I always enjoy comparing notes with people about what fonts we like to use. But this seems like personal preference, not science.
