/prog/ - Good fonts for programming

Name: Anonymous 2011-10-31 18:30

sup /prog/ I've been coding for about 2 years with the same old courier new font and just realized that it sucked nigger balls. I would like to switch to some exotic monospaced new font that is not old Consolas or Monaco. Any suggestions?

DejaVu looks indeed beautiful. I prefer inconsolata though. If only there ere bold and italic versions of it it would be the one true prog font.

Verdana, drop monospace. Its crutch for people who can't program and need constant visual reinforcement to remember their program.
Treating code as some soulless monospaced matrix is like drawing into Excel cells.

what about a font that has true bold and italic versions?

Is there really anything better than DejaVu Sans Mono?
Everything else seems to be a constant circlejerk over how awesome it is.

I hate that people are suggesting non-bitmap fonts. Are you programming in NetBeans or something...?

DejaVu Sans Mono, unless I'm working with JS. Then I switch to Monaco, where { and } are more distinct from ( and ) than usual.

That font Canonical was working on looked good, but then they nixed all the good decisions.

Droid fonts look almost as good as good as DejaVu. I was impressed when I saw them.

They lack italic or oblique versions though. I can't tell the difference between EXPERT PROGRAMMER and EXPERT PROGRAMMER, which makes me sad.

Presumably it was for future reference.

There is a Droid Pro font family that has mono bold. I think it hasn't been released yet.

I use a version of the standard X terminal fonts with the 0 edited to be slashed.

Windows users aka children can try them here:

"crystal.ttf" included in povray looks very nice and it works alright with antialias. In some way similar to some bitmap fonts. size 11 looks best.

That "Monospace" font that comes with GNOME.

I think that's just an alias. Not sure what it is by default. Probably DejaVu Sans Mono.

These are also great fonts to play NetHack with.

They should cram more stats on the screen or something. NetHack is too small for me on a modern display, so I always have to use a larger font (e.g. urxvt -fn Terminus-24).
