Nothing beats Inconsolata, IMO.

I was a big fan of inconsolata but I transitioned to Anonymous Pro, and then Source Code Pro, which I've been using for a good while now. The three of them make my top 3.

  I tried Anonymous Pro because my team was working with Mark Simonson. Switched back after a couple days. Haven't tried Source Code Pro. It looks very promising.

    Definitely recommend it. Super readable (more so than Anonymous Pro), pleasing to the eye, and they took real care with the symbols that resemble each other (0O, 1l, etc). Also it has a bunch of different thickness levels, so for example with Sublime Text which tends to render letters a little thick, I can set it to the "Light" setting, while in iTerm I use "Regular".

Yep, I use Inconsolata too.

Inconsolata for the win. From time to time I get my "change fonts frenzy", but in the end I always roll back to inconsolata. Only drawback: 'W' and 'w', plus 'X' and 'x' are extremely similar. This is mostly not a problem, but sometimes it can be a hassle.

Inconsolata has pretty low symbol coverage, right? Not a problem if you stick to ASCII, I suppose…

Plus there is a Greek version[1] which makes my life a lot easier. [1] https://github.com/cosmix/Inconsolata-Hellenic https://github.com/cosmix/Inconsolata-Hellenic

True. I find Cosmic Sans Neue distracting and hard to read. Inconsolata is just perfect.

I'm pretty happy with Source Code Pro.

Consolas beats it hands down (with ClearType enabled or similar font rendering patches on Linux) as far as I'm concerned. It's a matter of taste.

I tried the recent Mozilla font in the hopes I'd found an Inconsolata substitute. No such luck.
