No one has mentioned Lucida Sans Typewriter. It was the default console font on Solaris, and it was may favorite code font for more than a decade. I even made a Windows version of that font, for my own use, using a bitmapped font editor. Here's a screenshot of Solaris showing that font:

You can buy it from Adobe: https://www.fonts.com/font/adobe/lucida-sans-typewriter/regular https://www.fonts.com/font/adobe/lucida-sans-typewriter/regu...
- idoubtit 8y agoMy first test on a monotype font targets similar characters, especially at small sizes: 0O 1l ~- }) … There is no tilde in Lucida's snapshot, but I would rate the font very low on the readability of the other characters. The other parameters (serif, form of the "g", etc) are of no importance to me if the first test fails.
- signal11 8y agoAh, I mentioned it a little while ago in another comment thread. Microsoft bundled it with older versions of Office and Windows, and is included in their TrueType Font Pack[1] [1] https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/font-list/lucida-sans-typewriter https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/font-list/lucida...
