Programming Fonts

 

Seems like I have seen quite a few posts about fonts used for programming in the last few days.  Part of that simply might be in response to Apple’s announcement of Menlo, a replacement for the Mac’s defacto monospaced font dating all the way back to System 6, Monaco.

Taking that one step further, Hive Logic has a couple great posts showing off some truly gorgeous monospaced fonts.  Personally, I’m in love with Monofur, Droid Sans Mono, Inconsolata, and Anonymous Pro.

Check out the two related posts here for a total of 11 great monospaced fonts.

    i recently sat down and reviewed all sorts of “programming” fonts. from consolas, to inconsolata, to andale mono, lucida typewriter, proggy, you name it…..

    liberation mono was the best of the bunch. it looks fabulous with OS X’s font rendering engine. not sure how it looks on windows, tho.
