Which monospaced font do you use?
Everybody here is a coder. So what monospaced font do you prefer and why ? At which point/size do you use it ?
- zacharyvoase 16y agoInconsolata, with varying sizes depending on my mental state. It’s free, pretty and legible. Get it here: http://www.levien.com/type/myfonts/inconsolata.html http://www.levien.com/type/myfonts/inconsolata.html
- fdghfdgh 16y agoIf it's monospaced, it's fine. The emperor is naked.
- dutchrapley 16y agoBitstream Vera Sans Mono 10px on a 22" 1680x1050 - It's clean and crisp. Seems to be the only font I'm happy with on both Windows and Mac. http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/ttf-bitstream-vera/1.10/ http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/ttf-bitstream-vera/1....
- lylejohnson 16y agoMy eyes prefer it at a slightly larger point size, but this is my choice as well.
- yuvadam 16y agoConsolas / Lucida Console (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consolas http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consolas)
- maximilianburke 16y agoI use Consolas on Windows and Inconsolata on Linux, somewhere around the 9-10 pt size. Basically small enough so that I can get two 120-column+ editor windows side-by-side on a 1920px wide (24") display while big enough to not hurt the eyes over the course of a work day.
- geophile 16y ago9x15. I wish I could find this for OS X, but it's a bitmap font, and doesn't translate to a scalable font very easily.
- praptak 16y agoI had my phase of looking for the coder's font. I spend some time spent looking at various monospaced fonts advertised as God's gift to coders. That time was, in retrospective, wasted. No font will provide anything more than maybe a few minutes of "yeah, this looks nice" feeling. Nowadays I'm going with the defaults provided by IDEs, text editors, terminal emulators, etc. Choice of font is totally unimportant.

- cschmidt 16y agoI use Pragmata 11pt. Yes, it costs money, but given the years I've looked at this font, I think it works out to be pretty cheap :-) http://www.fsd.it/fonts/pragma.htm http://www.fsd.it/fonts/pragma.htm

- staunch 16y agoUbuntu's "Monospace" at 12 on a Dell 27" 2560x1440 monitor. I love it. I've tried just about every free monospaced font but still prefer this one.
- Deadsunrise 16y agoI was using inconsolata at 12 but last week I moved to Menlo and I think I have a new favorite. Menlo it's really similar to Bitstream Vera Sans Mono.
- rix0r 16y agoI'm still pretty happy with Monaco, and on Windows I usually install Proggy when I install Vim.
