Seconded. I used to use Menlo, then Incosolata. Ubuntu Mono is by far the absolute best available for programming. Love it!

- pdenya 13y agoStill prefer inconsolata at the moment, any particular feature of ubuntu mono that you feel puts it far ahead of others?
- fingerprinter 13y agoCan't say, just how it looks. It looks incredibly smooth and well thought out. I don't know, specifically. Just like how it looks.
- damien 13y agoThe letter l on it's own at small font sizes resembles the number 1 in other fonts too closely. In fact, my default sans font (DejaVu Sans) has the 1 shaped just like the Inconsolata l. I'm sure it's something you get used to but I personally prefer the style used in DejaVu Sans Mono or Ubuntu Mono, where the l shape can't be mistaken for anything else.
- tholex 13y agoThe italics are amazing - very visible and distinct from the regular font, making it a great tool for validation. E.g. it's very noticeable when a CSS rule is not italic all of a sudden (misspelled). It adds a nice layer on top of colors to distinguish between different states.
- jamesaguilar 13y agoThe lack of bold weight for inconsolata really kills its utility for me.
- aray 13y agoFYI Inconsolata was (also) designed by a programmer: http://levien.com/type/myfonts/inconsolata.html http://levien.com/type/myfonts/inconsolata.html It has a very different look and feel though.
