True. There are a lot good monospaced font but it's impossible for me working at screen with these cool fonts for this I designed PragmataPro. Tastes are tastes. All the glyphs of PragmataPro are designed under suggestions of programmers. In the set there are many glyphs ignored by other monospaced font designers, because I designed this font with programmers for programmers. PragmataPro are designed to work with and without antilaliasing. And it works

And it works Apparently not on the Mac. The font looks quite terrible in your own Mac screenshot, there is visible blur at least in the letters w,m and T.

  Well, he did say it's only 50% done. If it mostly works on Windows, porting it to mac shouldn't be hard...

Could you give some explicit examples where you think PragmataPro is better than, say, Consolas? (except for the APL glyphs, I'm not sure if Consolas has those) Also, what possessed you to make a monospaced programming font condensed? Squeezing the proportions that way either allows you more characters on a line (bad programming practice) or less lines on a screen (also not good). PS in your screenshot, the special ligature things such as the smiley and the (P), are partly cut off.

  Still not sure if I like it, but squeezing proportions doesn't only allow more characters on a line: in editors that support split views, it allows you to view 80 characters per line side-by-side in two files on screens that aren't as wide, plus fit your file browser on the left (again, if your editor has one). There are definitely uses. Not sure how the font being narrower results in less lines on a screen, though. I doubt the font height is greater.

  I repeat: tastes are tastes. For me Consolas is wonderful in print but I can’t not even read emails set in this font. I need condensed monospaced without interline just like PragmataPro. It's my taste and I'm sure to don't be the one with this taste. PS the smiley is intentionally cut off. It's the best possible compromise I found to keep it recognizable also at lower sizes
